• project:Detection of Ad Hominem attacks in blog and review data
  • Project description : I am interested in trying to automatically detect ad hominem and general person-directed insult in product reviews (for example, for a book written by Bill O'Reilly or Barack Obama, inciting verbal attacks against the author rather than the book content) and/or blog data (political blogs, or "hot-button" issue blogs). I have a manually curated training dataset of insult sentences, as well as scrapped blog data that can be mined. I'm open to working with one or two partners who can code in Python.

• project:Catching and Forecasting Popular Videos on Youtube
  • Have you ever considered why some videos could attract millions of views within just a few days? Recently, research community begins to study the characteristics of the popular videos hoping the discovery would benefit the marketing and advertisement(YouTube Analysis). This project intents to model and predict the view pattern of popular videos with the emphasis on viral videos. Specially it involves the following tasks: dataset collection; the view growth distribution modeling based on BA model; popularity prediction by Naive method such as SVM or Regression.

• project:Adaptive Real-time Filtering in Twitter
  • Project description: Given a topic, this project aims to filter an incoming tweet stream such that only tweets relevant to the topic are shown. It will follow the problem framework described in the Microblog Track of TREC 2012 and the goal of this project is to create and submit a competitive entry to the 2013 track (hint, publication, hint). Because the project involves modification of the Indri search engine, I'm looking for partners fluent in C++ (knowledge of a scripting language such as Python or Ruby is a plus). Also, since the submission for the conference opens in summer of 2013, it would be nice if you are willing to continue working on the project after the course to further improve it.
