Twitter, a popular social networking platform, provides a medium for people to share information and opinions with their followers. In such a medium, a flash event finds an immediate response. However, one concept may be expressed in many different ways. Because of users’ different writing conventions, acronym usages, language differences, and spelling mistakes, there may be variations in the content of postings even if they are about the same event. Analyzing semantic relationships and detecting these variations have several use cases, such as event detection, and making recommendations to users while they are posting tweets. In this work, we apply semantic relationship analysis methods based on term co-occurrences in tweets, and evaluate their effect on detection of daily events from Twitter. The results indicate higher accuracy in clustering, earlier event detection and more refined event clusters.

Context aware friend recommendation for location based social networks using random walk
Bağcı, Hakan; Karagöz, Pınar (null; 2016-04-10)
The location-based social networks (LBSN) facilitate users to check-in their current location and share it with other users. The accumulated check-in data can be employed for the benefit of users by providing personalized recommendations. In this paper, we propose a random walk based context-aware friend recommendation algorithm (RWCFR). RWCFR considers the current context (i.e. current social relations, personal preferences and current location) of the user to provide personalized recommendations. Our LBSN...
