community detection in social media
TRANSCRIPT
Our focus is on revealing the types of communities
generated with respect to certain events by analyzing
them in the dimensions of size, topic diversity and time
span.
Real-World Networks
For experimentation we have generated a network
based on Twitter user interactions, (i.e. mentions,
replies, retweets), extracted from data collected via
the Twitter Streaming API with topic-related
keywords.
Our selected topic refers to the official Euro group meetings (of Euro zone's finance ministers)
Real-World Networks
Our EUROGROUP dataset
(covering 8 meetings from 13/06/12 to 30/11/12) acts
as an exemplary case study of a series of events held
at different time instances, having the same
participants with a common generic context (i.e. the
Euro zone's monetary issues), but different focus
(depending on the agenda). The dataset spans 227
days and comprises: 29529 tweets, 10305 interactions
and 3015 different users.
