内容简介：With the rapid growth of Web 2.0 and social media in the past decade, Social Computing have emerged as a young interdisciplinary research field. Enormous "big data" of social systems has been generated and analyzed. In this talk, I will first give a brief review of social computing field, with applications in multiple fields including marketing, politics, public administration, public health, social movements, cyber warfare, etc. Second, I will introduce my previous research on cyber-enabled social movements. Last, I will introduce the ongoing research of my group on semantic social networks, which aims to develop an efficient and effective method to model and analyze the semantic-level relations in social systems, through linking the data of social systems with Semantic Web datasets.
