Overview

Topic status: We're looking for students to study this topic.

Many developments are taking place in the area of visualising the range of opinions about topics expressed on social media. The next step in this area is to show community specifics to a group of people sharing an opinion.This project aims at extracting the semantic intersection between users of a community on twitter. In this case community can be defined by a hashtag (all the users having posted a tweet with a particular hashtag). A user can be defined by their tweets. The semantic intersection will be based on semantic spaces representations. The use of external resources such as Wikipedia, WordNet or some ontology will also be investigated.
