Special Issue on Social Media Processing
Published 31 March, 2021
Social media processing, an interdisciplinary field at the crossroads of computer science and social science, is growing rapidly. Social media not only profoundly affects our lives and silently changes the way we live, but also generates big user data. Processing that data provides us with golden opportunities to understand individuals, as well as human behavioural patterns. As a result, developing and using new technologies for efficient and effective social media processing is highly desirable.
However, social media data possesses extremely complex characteristics, e.g., it is noisy, unstructured, and multimodality. This special issue serves as a forum for researchers and practitioners to present their original and high-quality works on social media processing.
