Re: YouTube Videos Hi Asmaa - I've put together some R code that uses Gaurav Sood's tuber package to gather YouTube metadata through the API. It requires little coding on your part - just typing in the video IDs for the videos you want. Here are the links: - tuber package: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/tuber/vignettes/tuber-ex.html - my Github repository: https://github.com/nlgarlic/YouTube-Related-Video-Similarity Best of luck with your research!

Facebook data tools
by Brooke Criswell 18 May '20

18 May '20

Hi everyone, I am learning how to do social media research as a PhD student and I would love some information on how to collect data from open Facebook groups. Are there any tools that can do this or how can I do this while obeying the IRB? I know their API is a lot more difficult than Twitter but the info on Facebook is very valuable. Would love any insight and thank you so much.

Deadline Extended to May 29 - IEEE Globecom 2020 - Social Networks Selected Areas in Communication Track
by Eirini Eleni Tsiropoulou 16 May '20

16 May '20

****Apologies for multiple postings. The 2020 IEEE Global Communications Conference (Globecom) will be held physically in Taipei as scheduled from 7 to 11, December 2020. The organizing team is closely monitoring the development of the COVID-19 situation. In case of travel restrictions that prohibit physical appearance, video presentation will be accepted as an alternative of presentation. Welcome to visit the picturesque city of Taipei in December. CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Globecom 2020 - Social Networks Selected Areas in Communication Track 7-11 December 2020 Taipei, Taiwan *********************** Important Dates Paper Submission: 29 May 2020 (FIRM) Notification: 15 August 2020 Camera Ready: 1 September 2020 *********************** Submission link: https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=27072&track=100637 *********************** Scope and Motivation Social networks, which target the development of social relations among people with common interest through web-based services, have contributed a large portion of Internet traffic nowadays and become dominant forms of social interaction on the Internet. This recent development brings significant research interests on the interplay between mobile communications networks, mobile computing and social networks. Due to its increasing prevalence and interdisciplinary nature, social networks have also attracted research attentions to a number of related technical areas, including blockchain, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, big data analytics, data mining, information security and privacy protection. This track aims to provide a forum that brings together scientists and researchers from academia, industry, and government to present their cutting-edge innovations in all aspects of the field. Papers on practical applications and R&D results from industry and academic/industrial collaborations are encouraged. Topics of interest for the Social Networks Selected Areas in Communication Track include, but are not limited to: * Artificial Intelligence for social networks and applications * Blockchain-based social networks, decentralized social content, and cryptocurrency through social networks * Knowledge discovery with big mobile data analytics and information dissemination and propagation in social networks * New applications of large social network analysis and relational structure of social networks to design advanced wireless communication networks, and interplay with network science areas such as physics and biology * Social network modeling, analysis, measurements, and experiments using big data and data mining for better understanding of social network influence, reputation, recommendation, community structure, and advertisement etc. * Convergence and interplay between social networks and the underlying communications platforms, including characterization of social interactions in mobile communication networks and analysis of social network from communication theory perspective * Influence of social networks on communications networks design and operation as well as subsequent development of new paradigms of future communications networks * Numerical and analytical techniques as a foundation to enable social networks of massive networked (big) data (e.g., belief and message propagation, computational intelligence and machine learning, game and economical analysis, graph theoretical analysis etc.) * Trusted networking, privacy and security, user behaviors and dynamics, and digital right management for big data from social networks * System architecture, protocols, middleware and software engineering, terminal technology, user experience and interface technology, deployment and operations, and standards for social networks * Social networks applications and services to mobile Internet, multimedia networks, mobile-commerce, cyber-physical systems, and their potential social, economic, and cultural impacts ********* Symposium Chair Eirini Eleni Tsiropoulou, University of New Mexico, USA -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Eirini Eleni Tsiropoulou Assistant Professor Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering University of New Mexico Albuquerque, NM, 87131 Office: 326B Tel.: (505)-277-5501 Email: eirini(a)unm.edu<mailto:eirini@unm.edu> Website: PROTON Lab<http://ece-research.unm.edu/tsiropoulou/index.html> PROTON Lab's News: @Tsiropoulou_EE<https://twitter.com/Tsiropoulou_EE>

translation
by Lauri Goldkind 16 May '20

16 May '20

Greetings, Has anyone seen/used a system for hosting a multi-lingual meeting that does not cost a fortune? I have looked at KUDO which seems like an okay, if not expensive platform, but they just provide the digital space, not the actual translator. We have also considered Microsoft Translate but it is very clunky and hard to follow with more than two persons. Is there anything worth exploring? I am trying to host a bi-weekly meeting for an international federation of community based organizations but the language barrier is a big hurdle. Thanks for any suggestions you might have. Kind regards, lauri. Smile it helps :) <https://youtu.be/R-SKfpNm3WA> _________________________________________ Lauri Goldkind, PhD ~Editor in Chief, Journal of Technology in Human Services <https://www.tandfonline.com/toc/wths20/current> Associate Professor, Graduate School of Social Service, Fordham Listen to my podcast interview with tech ethicist David Ryan Polgar <https://pca.st/episode/1f2b9fb8-f846-402b-8b84-540af1df5612> http://www.laurigoldkind.net/ *"The more the data banks record about each one of us, the less we exist." - Marshall McLuhan* *Illegitimi non carborundum*
