ABSTRACT Nagarajan, Bala Meenakshi, Ph.D., Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Wright State University, 2010. Understanding User-generated Content on Social Media. Over the last few years, there has been a growing public and enterprise fascination with ‘social media’ and its role in modern society. At the heart of this fascination is the ability for users to participate, collaborate, consume, create and share content via a variety of platforms such as blogs, micro-blogs, email, instant messaging services, social network services, collaborative wikis, social bookmarking sites, and multimedia sharing sites. This dissertation is devoted to understanding informal user-generated textual content on social media platforms and using the results of the analysis to build Social Intelligence Applications. The body of research presented in this thesis focuses on understanding what a piece of user- generated content is about via two sub-goals of Named Entity Recognition and Key Phrase Ex- traction on informal text. In light of the poor context and informal nature of content on social media platforms, we investigate the role of contextual information from documents, domain mod- els and the social medium to supplement and improve the reliability and performance of existing text mining algorithms for Named Entity Recognition and Key Phrase Extraction. In all cases we find that using multiple contextual cues together lends to reliable inter-dependent decisions, better than using the cues in isolation and that such improvements are robust across domains and content of varying characteristics, from micro-blogs like Twitter, social networking forums such as those on MySpace and Facebook, and blogs on the Web. Finally, we showcase two deployed Social Intelligence applications that build over the results of Named Entity Recognition and Key Phrase Extraction algorithms to provide near real-time information about the pulse of an online populace. Specifically, we describe what it takes to build applications that wish to exploit the ‘wisdom of the crowds’ – highlighting challenges in data collection, processing informal English text, metadata extraction and presentation of the resulting information. iii Contents 1 1.

However, learners require knowledge and skills on how to use Web 2.0- based learning tools. Thus, there is a need to focus on how Web-based tools can be used to enhance learning outcomes. Therefore, this study aims to explore the challenges and benefits of Web 2.0-based learning among international students of English as a Second Language (ESL) at the Eastern Mediterranean University (EMU), North Cyprus during the Covid-19 pandemic. The data were collected from a purposive sample of 15 ESL learners at EMU using focus group interviews. The interview data were analyzed using inductive thematic analysis. The findings showed that challenges faced by international students of English at EMU during the Covid-19 pandemic include inadequate knowledge of technology and technical issues such as poor internet connectivity, inability to upload large files, and loss of password.

  • The Role of User Generated Content (UGC) in Social Media for Tourism Sector
    The 2013 WEI International Academic Conference Proceedings Istanbul, Turkey The Role of User Generated Content (UGC) in Social Media for Tourism Sector KhairulHilmi A Manap Phd Candidate [email protected] Nor Azura Adzharudin (PhD) Faculty of Modern Languages & Communication Universiti Putra Malaysia, Serdang, Selangor Malaysia [email protected] Abstract The existence of social media has marked a substantial milestone in the way both business enterprises and government agencies communicate and engage with their demographic markets. Social media has essentially revolutionized our communication patterns and behavior through the Internet, thus creating a new medium in which we consume and disseminate information. This paper will disclose and describe how social media can help the tourism industry leverage on User-Generated Content (UGC) generated by social media services to strategically position tourism based products and services. This paper focuses on the role of social media and its relation to the hospitality and tourism industry. This paper examines the perspective of travelers who search for online information via social media channels and make well-informed decisions of their travel based on user-generated content (UGC). The authenticity and credibility of user-generated content is also explored and discussed in this paper. This paper highlights both the benefits and issues encountered during the process of UGC to make travel decisions. The recommendation suggest that although social media channels are popular, they are not yet considered to be as a credible or trustworthy as incumbent sources of travel information. UGC plays the role as an additional source of information that travelers consider as part of their search information process, rather than as the only source of information.

  • Metric Ambiguity and Flow in Rap Music: a Corpus-Assisted Study of Outkast’S “Mainstream” (1996)
    Metric Ambiguity and Flow in Rap Music: A Corpus-Assisted Study of Outkast’s “Mainstream” (1996) MITCHELL OHRINER[1] University of Denver ABSTRACT: Recent years have seen the rise of musical corpus studies, primarily detailing harmonic tendencies of tonal music. This article extends this scholarship by addressing a new genre (rap music) and a new parameter of focus (rhythm). More specifically, I use corpus methods to investigate the relation between metric ambivalence in the instrumental parts of a rap track (i.e., the beat) and an emcee’s rap delivery (i.e., the flow). Unlike virtually every other rap track, the instrumental tracks of Outkast’s “Mainstream” (1996) simultaneously afford hearing both a four-beat and a three-beat metric cycle. Because three-beat durations between rhymes, phrase endings, and reiterated rhythmic patterns are rare in rap music, an abundance of them within a verse of “Mainstream” suggests that an emcee highlights the three-beat cycle, especially if that emcee is not prone to such durations more generally. Through the construction of three corpora, one representative of the genre as a whole, and two that are artist specific, I show how the emcee T-Mo Goodie’s expressive practice highlights the rare three-beat affordances of the track. Submitted 2015 July 15; accepted 2015 December 15. KEYWORDS: corpus studies, rap music, flow, T-Mo Goodie, Outkast THIS article uses methods of corpus studies to address questions of creative practice in rap music, specifically how the material of the rapping voice—what emcees, hip-hop heads, and scholars call “the flow”—relates to the material of the previously recorded instrumental tracks collectively known as the beat.

PUB DATE 1999-05-00 NOTE 94p.; Master's Research Paper, Kent State University. Information Science. Appendices may not reproduce adequately. PUB TYPE Dissertations/Theses (040) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC04 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Audiodisks; Discographies; *Library Collection Development; *Library Collections; *Optical Disks; *Popular Music; *Public Libraries; Research Libraries; Tables (Data) IDENTIFIERS *Cleveland Public Library OH ABSTRACT In the 1970s and early 1980s, a few library researchers and scholars made a case for the importance of public libraries' acquisition of popular music, particularly rock music sound recordings. Their arguments were based on the anticipated historical and cultural importance of obtaining and maintaining a collection of these materials. Little new research in this direction has been performed since then. The question arose as to what, if anything, has changed since this time. This question was answered by examining the compact disc holdings of the Cleveland Public Library, a major research-oriented facility. This examination was accomplished using three discographies of essential rock music titles, as well as recent "Billboard" Top 200 Album charts. The results indicated a strong orientation toward the acquisition of recent releases, with the "Billboard" charts showing the largest percentages of holdings for the system. Meanwhile, the holdings vis-a-vis the essential discographies ran directly opposite the "Billboard" holdings. This implies a program of short-term patron satisfaction by providing current "hits," while disregarding the long-term benefits of a collection based on demonstrated artistic relevance.
