Title: On Mining Big Data and Social Network Analysis

Abstract: The problem of big data has become increasingly importance in recent years. On the one hand, the big data is an asset that potentially can offer tremendous value or reward to the data owner. On the other hand, it poses tremendous challenges to distil the value out of the big data. The very nature of the big data poses challenges not only due to its volume, and velocity of being generated, but also its variety and veracity. The challenge is thus how to integrate the information from different sources with different formats and veracities together. Heterogeneous information network model provides an effective way to fuse heterogeneous information across different sources. One of the most critical big data applications is mining social networks. As social networks become increasingly popular, not only the scale of the networks grows rapidly with Facebook having more than 1 billion active users, but also the complexity of the networks increases over time. In this talk, we will discuss the data fusion issues and approaches using social networks as an example.

Distinguished Lecture Series (DLS) Program:

Since 2015, the School of Computer Science and Technology, and the School of Software of Shandong University have launched the Distinguished Lecture Series  Program that features internationally acclaimed scholars to speak about the frontier in both scientific research and industrial development in the fast developing computing and software engineering field. The DLS aims to promote academic exchange and raise the visibility of the schools. Each year, no more than ten scholars are honored to speak at the DLS.
