Inhalte (short description):

In the past few years, the popularity of the social media has grown remarkably, with constantly growing up amounts of users sharing all kinds of information through different platforms. More users mean more data to be mined. Therefore, it is vital for marketing organizations to be aware of how people express their opinions and how their feedback can affect their business. This has given rise to Social Media Analytics in order to extract business insight and value from consumer data. Social Media Analysis is a broad concept consisting of Social Network Analysis, Machine learning, Data Mining, Information Retrieval, and Natural Language Processing.

Deep learning techniques as a subfield of machine learning enable machines to learn by themselves to classify and cluster the data. The fact that the data contained in social media are highly unstructured named as Big Data, makes deep learning an extremely valuable tool for companies to manipulate the data. These companies use Deep Neural Networks as the foundation stones of deep learning, to decide which concept could be interesting to which customers.
To cover the concepts of deep learning in Social Media, this course starts with theoretical explanation of machine learning and data mining. In order to mine the huge number of user-contributed materials (e.g. photographs, videos, and textual context) in social media, different types of Artificial Deep Neural Networks (ADNN) will be explained. Simultaneously, the course covers basics of Python programming language and its data science libraries to equip the students with the tools which are needed to take advantage of the wealth of Big Data.
Later, different deep learning algorithms such as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs), Long Short-Term Memory networks (LSTM), Restricted Boltzmann Machines (RBM), Autoencoders (AE) and Self-organizing Maps (SOM) will be introduced. More specifically the time series analysis, text- and sentiment analysis, image analysis and recommender systems using Deep Neural Networks will be presented. Finally, the topic of Social Recommender Systems (SRS) will be discussed, in which the social relations can be potentially exploited to improve the performance of online recommender systems. To finish the course fruitfully, some mini-projects regarding mining different data derived from social media platforms will be handed to the students.
The notes will be declared at the end of the semester
