Definition

Social media represent a valuable source of subjective user-generated content since they reflect opinions, beliefs, findings, or experiences of a large number of users on a wide range of topics. Temporal analytics of social media content aims to provide insights regarding the dynamics of user conversations in different mining tasks over the vocabulary of words employed in the corresponding posts. For example, a time-aware analysis of social media posts will enable to recognize popular conversation trends over a period of time; to alert about emerging topics that are fast gathering momentum; to monitor how topics of particular interest evolve; to trace changes in key aspects of conversation summaries, such as user opinions and sentiments; or to identify relationships among these summaries (e.g., correlations).

Historical Background

Temporal analytics of social media can been seen as a branch of...
