Social Media Mining of the Icelandic Blogosphere | Sindri Freyr Sigursteinsson
| | Abstract | This thesis presents experiments related to the Icelandic Twitter network. It is based on an analysis made from two perspectives, a general analysis of the overall network, including its users, followed by a more detailed sentiment analysis. The main objective of the general analysis was to identify features of the Icelandic network as a whole and characteristics of its Icelandic users. The growth rate of the Icelandic Twitter network was studied as well as tweeter activity among Icelandic Twitter users. Additionally, the relationship between different variables was viewed, for example between activity level and the numbers of followers, which has been used in prior work for identifying influential tweeters. The purpose of the sentiment analysis was to detect and extract the emotional content of Icelandic tweets, whether they are positive, neutral or negative. | | Type | Master's thesis [Academic thesis] | | Year | 2011 | | Publisher | Technical University of Denmark, DTU Informatics, E-mail: reception@imm.dtu.dk | | Address | Asmussens Alle, Building 305, DK-2800 Kgs.
