4. 4 Let us start with sentiment analysis…

5. 5 “Love Obama” I love Obama Obama is great! Obama is fantastic I hate Obama, the worst president ever He cannot be the next president! No Obama in 2012! Positive Negative

6. 6 Homophily Homophily —“birds of a feather flock together” –A user in the social network tends to be similar to their connected neighbors. Originated from different mechanisms –Influence Indicates people tend to follow the behaviors of their friends –Selection Indicates people tend to create relationships with other people who are already similar to them –Confounding variables Other unknown variables exist, which may cause friends to behave similarly with one another.

7. 7 Twitter Data Twitter –1,414,340 users and 480,435,500 tweets –274,644,047 t-follow edges and 58,387,964 @ edges [1] Chenhao Tan, Lillian Lee, Jie Tang, Long Jiang, Ming Zhou, and Ping Li. User-level sentiment analysis incorporating social networks. In KDD’11, pages 1397–1405, 2011.

8. 8 Influence Shared sentiment conditioned on type of connection.

9. 9 Selection Connectedness conditioned on labels

10. 10 One question: what drives users’ sentiments?

11. 11 Sentiment vs. Emotion Charles Darwin: –Emotion serves as a purpose for humans in aiding their survival during the evolution. [1] Emotion is the driving force of user’s sentiments… Emotion stimulates the mind 3000 times quicker than rational thought! [1] Charles Darwin. The Expression of Emotions in Man and Animals. John Murray, 1872.

12. 12 Happy System Can we predict users’ emotion?
