Abstract

Social Networking sites become very popular from last few decades. And that are become very useful for extracting the opinion of peoples regarding various things and topics. There are various techniques of data mining that are very much helpful for OSNs mining. In this survey, we focus on the concept of various algorithms and techniques of data mining that are used to mine online social network (OSNs), with special importance on latest topic of research area. There are several reasons which have made the study of OSNs gain importance by researchers. Here, we also look on the major issues that can occur at the time of mining social media data and how those are solved in last decades.
