Machine Learning for Social Media
How can we use machine learning for within social media? Examples are automated image annotations, ranking of images or music playlist recommendations. Social media data is particularly interesting in machine learning, because it usually appears in a multitude of representations. For examples images on Flickr are accompanied by a social network, tags, text, endorsements and comments.
