Relevance to PHEME 1.1 Purpose of this document The purpose of this document is to provide the consortium partners with an overview of the market in relation to PHEME, and a review of existing tools and initiatives in the field of veracity in social networks. In order to do that, this document covers the following aspects: • Recap of the main social media and veracity concepts related to PHEME. • Summary of the main results expected from PHEME as a prerequisite for surveying the market. • Identification of the market potential for PHEME results. • Survey of similar tools and competitors. 1.2 Relevance to project objectives Watching the development of market opportunities and competitors is of great importance for any kind of business, but it is a key aspect for a R&D project to achieve any kind of success. The market is not static, but highly dynamic. New ideas, tools, solutions and companies arise almost daily, especially around a hot topic such as veracity in social media. A project like PHEME must be aware of the new tools and developments, in order both to assess its success and to keep its objectives

  • On Two Existing Approaches to Statistical Analysis of Social Media Data
    On two existing approaches to statistical analysis of social media data M. Patone∗1 and L.-C. Zhang y1,2 1Department of Social Statistics and Demography, Univ. of Southampton, UK 2Statistisk sentralbyr˚a,Norway May 3, 2019 Abstract Using social media data for statistical analysis of general population faces com- monly two basic obstacles: firstly, social media data are collected for different objects than the population units of interest; secondly, the relevant measures are typically not available directly but need to be extracted by algorithms or machine learning tech- niques. In this paper we examine and summarise two existing approaches to statistical analysis based on social media data, which can be discerned in the literature. In the first approach, analysis is applied to the social media data that are organised around the objects directly observed in the data; in the second one, a different analysis is applied to a constructed pseudo survey dataset, aimed to transform the observed social media data to a set of units from the target population. We elaborate systematically the relevant data quality frameworks, exemplify their applications, and highlight some typical challenges associated with social media data. arXiv:1905.00635v1 [stat.AP] 2 May 2019 Key words: quality, representation, measurement, test, non-probability sample. 1 Introduction There has been a notable increase of interest from researchers, companies and governments to conduct statistical analysis based on social media data collected from platforms such as ∗[email protected] [email protected] 1 Twitter or Facebook (see e.g. Kinder-Kurlanda and Weller (2014); Braojos-Gomez et al.

  • Working Within a Black Box: Transparency in the Collection and Production of Big Twitter Data
    International Journal of Communication 8 (2014), 1745–1764 1932–8036/20140005 Working Within a Black Box: Transparency in the Collection and Production of Big Twitter Data KEVIN DRISCOLL1 University of Southern California, USA SHAWN WALKER University of Washington, USA Twitter seems to provide a ready source of data for researchers interested in public opinion and popular communication. Indeed, tweets are routinely integrated into the visual presentation of news and scholarly publishing in the form of summary statistics, tables, and charts provided by commercial analytics software. Without a clear description of how the underlying data were collected, stored, cleaned, and analyzed, however, readers cannot assess their validity. To illustrate the critical importance of evaluating the production of Twitter data, we offer a systematic comparison of two common sources of tweets: the publicly accessible Streaming API and the “fire hose” provided by Gnip PowerTrack. This study represents an important step toward higher standards for the reporting of social media research. Keywords: methodology, data, big data, social media Introduction The instruments register only those things they were designed to register. Space still contains infinite unknowns. —Spock (Black, Roddenberry, & Daniels, 1966) Twitter is increasingly integrated into the visual presentation of news and scholarly publishing in the form of hashtags, user comments, and dynamic charts displayed on-screen during conference presentations, in television programming, alongside political coverage in newspapers, and on websites.
