Abstract
On Leveraging Social Media
Pranam Kolari
University of Maryland Baltimore County
Social Media is radically changing communication paradigms on the Internet. Beyond publishing content, it enables users to engage in conversations and form tight knit communities, and now constitutes a prominent subset of the Web. Social Media takes different forms, be it blogs, podcasts, wikis or the emerging micro-blogging platform and presents interesting challenges for content mining. In this talk we discuss these directions by presenting specific projects pursued at UMBC.
