Applications of SNA
Applications of SNA
1. Sentiment/ Opinion analysis:
• Sentiment analysis studies the subjective information in an expression, that is, the
opinions, appraisals, emotions, or attitudes towards a topic, person or entity.
Expressions can be classified as positive, negative, or neutral.
• For example: “I really like the new design of your website!” → Positive.
2. Text classification:
As a part of sentiment analysis, Text classification describes a general class of problems
such as predicting the sentiment of tweets and movie reviews, as well as classifying
email as spam or not.
Applications of SNA
3. Fake news detection:
• The purpose of the work is to come up with a solution that can be utilized by users to
detect and filter out sites containing false and misleading information.
4. Anamoly Detection:
• Anomaly detection (aka outlier analysis) is a step in data mining that identifies data
points, events, and/or observations that deviate from a dataset's normal behavior.
• Anomalous data can indicate critical incidents, such as a technical glitch, or potential
opportunities, for instance a change in consumer behavior.
Applications of SNA
5. Community Detection :
• Community detection, also called graph partition, helps us to reveal the hidden
relations among the nodes in the network.
6. Recommendation systems :
• A recommender system, or a recommendation system (sometimes replacing 'system'
with a synonym such as platform or engine), is a subclass of information filtering
system that seeks to predict the "rating" or "preference" a user would give to an item.
