Social network data contains many hidden relationships. The most well known is the communities formed by users. Moreover, typical social network data, such as Twitter, can also be interpreted in terms of three-dimensional relationships; namely the users, issues discussed by the users, and terminology chosen by the users in these discussions. In this paper, we propose a new problem to generate co-clusters in these three dimensions simultaneously. There are three major differences between our problem and the standard co-clustering problem definition: a node can be a member of more than one clusters; all the nodes are not necessarily members of some cluster; and edges are signed and cluster are expected to have high density of positive signed edges, and low density of negative signed edges. We apply our method to the tweets of British politicians just before the Brexit referendum. Our motivation is to discover clusters of politicians, issues and the sentimental words politicians use to express their feelings on these issues in their tweets.

Collective classification of user emotions in twitter İleri, İbrahim; Karagöz, Pınar; Department of Computer Engineering (2015) The recent explosion of social networks has generated a big amount of data including user opinions about varied subjects. For classifying the sentiment of user postings, many text-based techniques have been proposed in the literature. As a continuation of sentiment analysis, there are also studies on the emotion analysis. Because of the fact that many different emotions are needed to be dealt with at this point, the problem becomes much more complicated. In this thesis, a different user-centric approach is ...
TRUST-AWARE LOCATION RECOMMENDATION IN LOCATION-BASED SOCIAL NETWORKS Cantürk, Deniz; Karagöz, Pınar; Department of Computer Engineering (2021-8-9) Users can share their location with other social network users through location-embedded information in LBSNs (Location-Based Social Network). LBSNs contain useful resources, such as user check-in activities, for building a personalized recommender system. Trust in social networks is another important concept that has been integrated into a recommendation system in various settings. In this thesis, we propose two novel techniques for location recommendation, TLoRW and SgWalk, to improve recommendation perfo...
Contextual Feature Analysis to Improve Link Prediction for Location Based Social Networks Bayrak, Ahmet Engin; Polat, Faruk (2014-10-01) In recent years, people started to communicate, interact, maintain relationship and share data (image, video, note, location, etc.) with their acquaintances through varying online social network sites. Online social networks with location and time sharing/interaction among people are called Location Based Social Networks (LBSNs). Link prediction in social networks aims at predicting future possible links for representing the real life relations better. In this work, we studied the link prediction problem an...
Geo-social recommendations based on incremental tensor reduction and local path traversal Symeniodis, Panagiotis; Papadimitriou, Alexis; Manolopoulos, Yannis; Karagöz, Pınar; Toroslu, İsmail Hakkı (2011-11-01) Social networks have evolved with the combination of geographical data, into Geo-social networks (GSNs). GSNs give users the opportunity, not only to communicate with each other, but also to share images, videos, locations, and activities. The latest developments in GSNs incorporate the usage of location tracking services, such as GPS to allow users to “check in” at various locations and record their experience. In particular, users submit ratings or personal comments for their location/activity. The vast a...
Real-Time Lexicon-Based Sentiment Analysis Experiments On Twitter With A Mild (More Information, Less Data) Arslan, Yusuf; Birtürk, Ayşe Nur; Djumabaev, Bekjan; Kucuk, Dilek (2017-12-14) Sentiment analysis of Twitter data is a well studied area, however, there is a need for exploring the effectiveness of real-time approaches on small data sets that only include popular and targeted tweets. In this paper, we have employed several sentiment analysis techniques by using dynamic dictionaries and models, and performed some experiments on limited but relevant datasets to understand the popularity of some terms and the opinion of users about them. The results of our experiments are promising.
