▼ Social media sources such as Twitter represent a massively distributed social sensor over diverse topics ranging from social and political events to entertainment and sports news. However, due to the overwhelming volume of content, it can be difﬁcult to identify novel and signiﬁcant content within a broad topic in a timely fashion. To this end, this thesis proposes a scalable and practical method to automatically construct social sensors for generic topics. The concept of using social media as a sensor for detection of events and news has been proposed in the literature. However, we argue that most of these works do not focus on targeted content detection or they use very basic methods for collecting the topical data for further analysis. This demonstrates a gap in the use of social media as a sensor for high-quality topical content detection that we aim to address via machine learning. In this thesis, given minimal supervised training content from a user, we learn to identify topical tweets from millions of features capturing content, user and social interactions on Twitter. On a corpus of over 800 million English Tweets collected from the Twitter streaming API during 2013 and 2014 and learning for 10 diverse topics, we empirically show that our learned social sensor automatically generalizes to unseen future content with high ranking and precision scores. Furthermore, we provide an extensive analysis of features and feature types across different topics that reveals, for example, that (1) largely independent of topic, simple terms are the most informative feature followed by location features and that (2) the number of unique hashtags and tweets by a user correlates more with their informativeness than their follower or friend count. In summary, this work provides a novel, effective, and efﬁcient way to learn topical social sensors requiring minimal user curation effort and offering strong generalization performance for identifying future topical content.

▼ The increasing popularity of social media has changed the web from a static repository of information into a dynamic forum with continuously changing information. Social media platforms has given the capability to people expressing and sharing their thoughts and opinions on the web in a very simple way. The so-called User Generated Content is a good source of users opinion and mining it can be very useful for a wide variety of applications that require understanding the public opinion about a concept. For example, enterprises can capture the negative or positive opinions of customers about their services or products and improve their quality accordingly. The dynamic nature of social media with the constantly changing vocabulary, makes developing tools that can automatically track public opinion a challenge. To help users better understand public opinion towards an entity or a topic, it is important to: a) find the related documents and the sentiment polarity expressed in them; b) identify the important time intervals where there is a change in the opinion; c) identify the causes of the opinion change; d) estimate the number of people that have a certain opinion about the entity; and e) measure the impact of public opinion towards the entity. In this thesis we focus on the problem of tracking public opinion on social media and we propose and develop methods to address the different subproblems. First, we analyse the topical distribution of tweets to determine the number of topics that are discussed in a single tweet. Next, we propose a topic specific stylistic method to retrieve tweets that are relevant to a topic and also express opinion about it. Then, we explore the effectiveness of time series methodologies to track and forecast the evolution of sentiment towards a specific topic over time. In addition, we propose the LDA & KL-divergence approach to extract and rank the likely causes of sentiment spikes. We create a test collection that can be used to evaluate methodologies in ranking the likely reasons of sentiment spikes. To estimate the number of people that have a certain opinion about an entity, we propose an approach that uses pre-publication and post- publication features extracted from news posts and users' comments respectively. Finally, we propose an approach that propagates sentiment signals to measure the impact of public opinion towards the entity's reputation. We evaluate our proposed methods on standard evaluation collections and provide evidence that the proposed methods improve the performance of the state-of-the-art approaches on tracking public opinion on social media.

▼ In a series of four studies, the aim of the current research project was to examine cyberbullying victimisation in adolecents in social networking sites (SNS). The first study investigated adolescent victims’ definition of cyberbullying, the specific types of cyberbullying experienced in SNS and the associated impact . Results showed that participants’ definition of cyberbullying was more complex than had been reported in previously published research. The most referenced criterion was impact on victim. It was also found that 68% of victims reported experiencing a combined emotional, social and behavioural impact for each cyberbullying experience and 12% reported no impact at all. The second study, using a qualitative inductive approach, found a set of strong themes relating to factors that either increased the severity of impact of cyberbullying victimisation or buffered victims against the impact. Themes related to publicity, anonymity of perpetrators, features of the medium, presence of bystanders, and individual-level factors were identified as potential influences upon impact severity. The aim of the third study was to develop and investigate the psychometric properties of a measure of exposure to and impact of cyberbullying victimisation in SNS in adolescents, whilst taking into consideration previous measurement limitations. Both qualitative and quantitative methods were used in the development and validation of the Social Networking Experiences Questionnaire (SNEQ). Preliminary psychometric analyses showed that the SNEQ was a valid and reliable measurement tool and has multiple uses in research, education and clinical settings. The aim of the fourth study was to explore whether specific online self-presentation behaviours in SNS increase the likelihood of cyberbullying victimisation for adolescents. This study focused on whether information in SNS profiles contributed to risk of being cyberbullied. Using a comprehensive coding scheme, the contents of adolescents’ Facebook pages were numerically recorded and used to predict cyberbullying victimisation. A number of self-presentation behaviours that predicted victimisation were found. It was concluded that the findings need to be integrated into preventative education programs to assist adolescents in decreasing their risk for cyberbullying victimisation.

Ph.D. University of Hawaii at Manoa 2013.

Research has focused on attaining higher levels of student success that are attributed to active and collaborative learning, driven by student-generated, ubiquitous, transparent environments. This research attempts to answer the question: can social networking technologies, linked with academic coursework and student support services, increase levels of self-efficacy leading to student success and retention? The constructs used to measure the outcomes of participating in a social networking environment include perceived sociability of the technology used and the formal and informal peer interactions that occur and self-efficacy levels. In a design-based research environment, an experiment took place over the course of three semesters. It was proposed that the perceived sociability and formal and informal peer interactions will increase the students' self-efficacy levels. This impact will drive higher levels of student success and retention in their academic career endeavors. The research takes place in the framework of design-based research, and focuses on defining technology as a process, not just an artifact that can impact teaching and learning methods. Results support the theories related to perceived sociability of computer learning environments, effects of peer interaction and self-efficacy on course completion, and retention. There was considerable overall support for the proposed theoretical model. However differential effects of the social networking treatment were mixed as not all the results showed a significant difference in impact between the treatment and control groups. A path analysis evaluation showed that peer interaction and the treatment intervention had a predicted effect on academic self-efficacy. A test of indirect effects of using the social networking on student success and retention showed small, but significant, indirect effects mediated through self-efficacy. This indirect impact of the social networking treatment on student success through self-efficacy provides support for the overall conceptual model. The results do provide a great deal of practical guidance as the aim to create a campus-wide social networking environment continues at the selected college.

This dissertation investigates the ways in which distributed workers in a global high-tech organization engage with the affordances of enterprise social media for their everyday knowledge sharing practices. Drawing on the scholarship of process of knowing, I elaborate on how communication visibility, enabled by the use of enterprise social media, is closely intertwined with the situational, relational, and material aspects of knowing. To offer an in-depth understanding of emerging knowledge sharing practices among globally distributed workers, I employed a mixed-methods approach analyzing different types of data including quantitative, social network, and qualitative data. The findings highlight the visibility paradox: communication visibility facilitates knowledge sharing, yet brings into high relief existing knowledge disparities among diverse groups, which in turn reinforces status differentials. Illustrating the intended and unintended consequences of technology adoption, this study disentangles the complex interrelationships among visibility, status hierarchies, and process of knowing. Although an enterprise social media platform was implemented to improve knowledge sharing across borders, emerging usage patterns ironically contributed to exacerbating knowledge disparities, which subsequently reproduced status asymmetry in the organization. This study builds a granular understanding of the paradoxical influences of visibility on knowledge sharing by presenting three central themes: knowledge (awareness of knowledge conversations vs. awareness of knowledge disparities), connectivity (connections as resources vs. connections as challenges), and power (leveraging panoptic effect vs. controlled by panoptic effect). These three constructs of knowledge, connectivity, and power are important status signals that are shaped by the visibility effects. This dissertation contributes to expanding the scholarship of organizational knowledge and paradox as well as extends practical insight into the management of technology, knowledge, and diversity in a global organization.

▼ The information ecosystem of social media has resulted in an abundance of opinions on political topics and current events. In order to encourage better discussions, it is important to promote high-quality responses and relegate low-quality ones. We thus focus on automatically analyzing and generating counter-arguments in response to posts on social media with the goal of providing effective responses. This thesis is composed of three parts. In the first part, we conduct an analysis of arguments. Specifically, we first annotate discussions from Reddit for aspects of arguments and then analyze them for their persuasive impact. Then we present approaches to identify the argumentative structure of these discussions and predict the persuasiveness of an argument. We evaluate each component independently using automatic or manual evaluations and show significant improvement in each. In the second part, we leverage our discoveries from our analysis in the process of generating counter-arguments. We develop two approaches in the retrieve-and-edit framework, where we obtain content using methods created during our analysis of arguments, among others, and then modify the content using techniques from natural language generation. In the first approach, we develop an approach to retrieve counter-arguments by annotating a dataset for stance and building models for stance prediction. Then we use our approaches from our analysis of arguments to extract persuasive argumentative content before modifying non-content phrases for coherence. In contrast, in the second approach we create a dataset and models for modifying content – making semantic edits to a claim to have a contrasting stance. We evaluate our approaches using intrinsic automatic evaluation of our predictive models and an overall human evaluation of our generated output. Finally, in the third part, we discuss the semantic challenges of argumentation that we need to solve in order to make progress in the understanding of arguments. To clarify, we develop new methods for identifying two types of semantic relations – causality and veracity. For causality, we build a distant-labeled dataset of causal relations using lexical indicators and then we leverage features from those indicators to build predictive models. For veracity, we build new models to retrieve evidence given a claim and predict whether the claim is supported by that evidence. We also develop a new dataset for veracity to illuminate the areas that need progress. We evaluate these approaches using automated and manual techniques and obtain significant improvement over strong baselines. Finally, we apply these techniques to claims in the domain of household electricity consumption, mining claims using our methods for causal relations and then verifying their truthfulness.

▼ Blogs provide unique authoring affordances for young children. To date, however, research has focused on older children, teenagers and adults as bloggers, and is limited in accounting for the semiotic roles of facilities, such as commenting and tagging. In contrast, this thesis is concerned with the intersection of technological and semiotic affordances of blogs. More specifically, it provides an account of the linguistic nature of blogs as collaborative texts, co-constructed by young blog authors and their audiences. The study investigated 48 blogs authored by five- to eight-year-old children. The theoretical orientation was systemic functional linguistics (SFL). In accounting for the nature of blog co-construction, techno-semiotic linguistic resources deployed in the dataset were examined in terms of the three metafunctions of SFL – textual, interpersonal and ideational. The study used a small-scale corpus content analysis to describe the semiotic context of the blogs in the study. Small-scale analysis also determined the techno-semiotic resources deployed across the corpus, especially those used for realising the textual metafunction in blog co-construction. Individual text analyses were also undertaken on comment-active and tag-active blogs, to explicate the use of interactive and evaluative resources in blog co-construction, including analyses of MOOD and NEGOTIATION, as well as synoptic and dynamic APPRAISAL analyses. Individual text analyses also interrogated LOGICO-SEMANTIC RELATIONS as construed with and by tags and blog posts. It was found blog authors deployed the linguistic resources of NEGOTIATION and APPRAISAL to solicit co-authorship from reader-commenters and collaboratively achieve the social goals of the post-and-comments as text. This included bonding over the topic of posts, building solidarity between the author and readers, co-construing the evaluative stance of the author and collaborating on the text as an instance of genre. The study showed how authors used tags to create complex textual and ideational, logico-semantic interconnections across blogs. Additionally, tagging impacted on instantiation of genre, owing to the realization of simultaneous logical relations afforded by tags. Existing theory was a productive heuristic for understanding blog co-construction. The theoretical notion of a locus of authority was suggested to explain the different levels of authority given to readers as co-authors. Extensions to SFL theory were proposed to expound the techno-semiotic distinctiveness of blogs, including intermodal NEGOTIATION between author and reader-commenters and the impact of reading directionality on logico-semantic relations between posts. Further, the concept of modal hybridity was put forward to account for the realisation of the blog as both written and spoken-like dialogic text. Implications are drawn for ways in which educators and curriculum developers may take into consideration the techno-semiotic, co-constructive affordances of blogs in learning and teaching in the early years…

▼ Persons with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (pALS) who have complex communication needs are at an increased risk for social isolation and exclusion due to a variety of barriers that impede social participation. Internet-based communications have become ubiquitous in modern society and critical to social inclusion and participation. Recent research has suggested that persons with complex communication needs can benefit from Internet-based communications such as social networking sites to support communication and improve upon social participation (Caron & Light, 2015). This study aimed to inform models of practice by exploring the social networks and online communication perspectives of pALS who use augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) using a parallel mixed methods approach. Two research questions were posed: 1) what is the size and typology of the social networks of pALS who use AAC, and 2) what are the perspectives of pALS in using Internet-based communications to interact with these networks? Eight participants with ALS who used AAC completed a questionnaire related to their social networks. Six of those participants shared their perspectives regarding use of Internet-based communications via web-based interviews. Five participants were video recorded composing and sending an email using their assistive technology. The study found that despite many barriers to accessing the Internet, persons with ALS use Internet-based communications to enhance their opportunities for social inclusion, which may promote their ability to maintain their pre-ALS social roles, independence, and quality of life. The findings support the inclusion of Internet-based communications when conceptualizing the social participation of persons with complex communication needs.

▼ The dissertation examined the dynamics of the 2012 Diaoyu Islands dispute on Sina Weibo across three layers: users, content, and role of platform. At the user layer, the research identifies the prominent users as elite framers on Weibo, whose discussions on the dispute dominated the framing of the issue. The most influential users are identified as predominately urban, middle class, more educated males, implying a profound inequality in the power to drive and direct the discourses on Weibo or in contemporary Chinese society. At the content layer, the dissertation discovers the major topics and frames that emerged from the discussion. It identified 11 topics via a labeled LDA topic model and then consolidated them into three major frames of Chinese cyber nationalism: nonofficial, official, and relational nationalism frames. The interactions among the social groups using the three major frames demonstrated that Chinese cyber nationalism inherited and strategically adopted the cyber nationalistic discourse from the pre-social media era; however, the dissertation found a contrasting and reconciling cyber nationalism advocated by the opinion leaders which mediated between official and popular nationalism in China. Third, the dissertation explored the roles of Weibo in the islands dispute and sought further theorization of the online space in China. As the dissertation identifies the proliferation of the “duanzi” culture among the Weibo users on the discussion of national affairs, it challenges the line of researches which only concentrate on the surveillance and censorship dynamics in Chinese internet study. A dark side of Weibo has been uncovered in the permission and promotion of fake news and misinformation on Weibo, as found elsewhere in the resurgence of nationalistic sentiments and national politics in the world. This dissertation represents the first framing study of Chinese cyber nationalism on social media. The dual rise of cyber nationalism and social media in China is not an isolated, discrete, and fragmented episode of global politics. This dissertation provides a comprehensive picture of the social players, their discourses, and power dynamics in a national/international affair of the century-long Diaoyu Islands dispute, one of the most explosive national security conflicts in the world.

▼ This study investigates the successful implementation of social media by small and medium-sized New Zealand businesses. The reasons for selecting social media as the focal innovation were twofold. Firstly, it is vital that marketers embrace it. Social media has revolutionised the way in which marketers can communicate and promote to customers. Fundamentally, message control has passed from the marketer to the customer. Secondly, it provided an opportunity to explore innovation implementation from a business perspective early on in its diffusion cycle. Although businesses were only recently invited to join social media platforms, it was anticipated that many businesses would have adopted it within the last three years. This research contributes to the sparse literature on social media. It also contributes to the growing body of literature on innovation implementation, businesses as the unit of analysis, and research which uses implementation success as its outcome variable. Additionally, it contributes to the body of research for businesses that have less than 20 employees, defined as either small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or micro-organisations, depending on the country. The objectives of this research were to identify which characteristics were most significant in influencing the successful implementation of social media and to propose a conceptual model. Due to the scarcity of literature on social media, constructs and measures were developed from other disciplines and innovation types. Research was grounded in innovation and implementation theory. The Organisational Innovativeness theory and the Variance theory (particularly the Technology-Organisation-Environment or TOE framework) were found to be of particular relevance. Marketing theory was also referred to, with the outcomes being marketing-based measures. The research was conducted in three steps. Firstly, in the pre-test phase senior managers from the New Zealand Retailers Association and academics provided feedback on the questionnaire. The Association then sent a pilot survey to their members, generating 53 usable responses. Secondly, the main survey was distributed via Facebook to businesses operating in that medium. Following analysis, the third phase involved interviews which further explored themes identified from the quantitative stage. Theoretical, methodological and managerial contributions were made from the research. Theoretical contributions included the development and empirical testing of a conceptual model for successful social media implementation. Significant predictor variables identified included complexity, a clear strategy, resources, access to training and education, and competition. These were measured by a number of dependent variables including use, overall management satisfaction and newly-developed scales for net benefits (including increased profit and increased brand loyalty). Methodological contributions included the timing of the survey. As social media has only been implemented relatively recently, information was… Advisors/Committee Members: Krisjanous, Jayne.

▼ This study aimed to provide researchers in the development of media studies with research into understanding the star as the object of desire in a contemporary context, using Robert Pattinson as the star and The Twilight Saga, which made him famous, as an example of the effects that the use of social and online media have on audiences in terms of their perception and identification of a particular star. This study drew from literature and theories such as stardom, star as the object of desire, audience theory, fantasy, desire and escapism as well as theory on globalisation, the mass media and online and social media. Whilst social and online media have been in existence for a number of years, there is little research that has been performed in order to determine whether or not the use of social and online media directly affect users’ understanding and perception of certain stars and films. There has also been little research performed in order to gain an understanding of fantasy and desire, in terms of films and film stars, outside the constraints of the cinema. This study examined this notion, noting that The Twilight Saga has been successful production worldwide, in order to discover whether or not the use of social and online media perpetuates obsession in the fans and audience members. The first part of the study that was conducted, applied certain theories discussed and developed in the literature review, to Robert Pattinson and The Twilight Saga in order to obtain a better understanding of the star and the film series in terms of cinema, stardom, fantasy and escapism and online and social media. A comparative case study of six online articles, from prominent online sources featuring Pattinson, was then conducted in order to investigate Pattinson’s image and status in the online community. Finally, a content analysis of various online and social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube was performed in order to find out what type of information and imagery was being generated about Pattinson and the Saga as well as to investigate how fans and followers engaged with the different media channels and what kinds of comments they were making about the star and the Saga. It was found that Pattinson, the character he plays in the film series, Edward Cullen, and The Twilight Saga have a large presence on key social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter, with a vast amount of followers and fans; Facebook and Twitter being the most popular and interactive media avenues. It was also found that Pattinson, Edward and The Twilight Saga, through the avid use of the social media tools, elicited and incited signs of obsession, fantasy and desire within an extensive amount of fans and followers, outside the constraints of the cinema
