Informative feature discovery for social media mining

(2020) Informative feature discovery for social media mining. PhD thesis, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

Finding relevant information in social media data to satisfy the user need presents unique challenges due to its nature (e.g. high volume, short length, sparseness). This thesis aims to discover informative feature representations that can help to capture user information needs when no annotated data is available. Using state-of-the-art techniques in text mining and information retrieval research, this research proposes novel methods to boost the user information need with representative information in a social media context. The experimental results show that the proposed models outperform baseline models on standard TREC 2011-2014 microblog datasets.

Search Google Scholar™

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.

Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
