Abstract ‘Selfie’ taking was introduced to the common people by smartphones and has become a common practice across the globe in no time. With technological advancement and the popularity of smartphones, selfie-taking has grown rapidly within a short time. In light of the new trend set by the generation, this study aimed to explore reasons for selfie-taking and selfie-posting on social media and their effects on the social and psychological lives of young adults. A purposive sampling method was adopted to select 20 Indian citizens, between 18 and 24 years. The data were collected through semi-structured More >

Abstract Purpose: The core component theory of addiction behavior provides a multidimensional theoretical model for measuring social networking addiction. Based on this theoretical model, the Social Networking Addiction Scale (SNAS) was developed. The aim of this study was to test the psychometric properties of the Chinese version of the SNAS (SNAS-C). Methods: This study used a sample of 3383 Chinese university students to conduct confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to explore the structural validity of the SNAS-C. This study examined the Pearson correlations between the six subscales of the SNAS-C (i.e., salience, mood modification, tolerance, withdrawal symptoms,… More >

Abstract Background: During the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic in China, social interactions shifted to online spaces due to lock-downs and social distancing measures. As a result, the impact of online social networking on users’ emotional status has become stronger than ever. This study examines the association between online social networking and Internet users’ emotional status and how offline reality affects this relationship. Methods: The study utilizes cross-sectional online survey data (n = 3004) and Baidu Migration big data from the first 3 months of the pandemic. Two dimensions of online networking are measured: social… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Exponential increase in the quantity of user generated content in websites and social networks have resulted in the emergence of web intelligence approaches. Several natural language processing (NLP) tools are commonly used to examine the large quantity of data generated online. Particularly, sentiment analysis (SA) is an effective way of classifying the data into different classes of user opinions or sentiments. The latest advances in machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) approaches offer an intelligent way of analyzing sentiments. In this view, this study introduces a web intelligence with enhanced sunflower optimization based deep… More >

Abstract This paper aims to introduce the novel concept of neutrosophic crisp soft set (NCSS), including various types of neutrosophic crisp soft sets (NCSSs) and their fundamental operations. We define NCS-mapping and its inverse NCS-mapping between two NCS-classes. We develop a robust mathematical modeling with the help of NCS-mapping to analyze the emerging trends in social networking systems (SNSs) for our various generations. We investigate the advantages, disadvantages, and natural aspects of SNSs for five generations. With the changing of the generations, it is analyzed that emerging trends and the benefits of SNSs are increasing day More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Presently, smart cities play a vital role to enhance the quality of living among human beings in several ways such as online shopping, e-learning, e-healthcare, etc. Despite the benefits of advanced technologies, issues are also existed from the transformation of the physical word into digital word, particularly in online social networks (OSN). Cyberbullying (CB) is a major problem in OSN which needs to be addressed by the use of automated natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning (ML) approaches. This article devises a novel search and rescue optimization with machine learning enabled cybersecurity model for… More >

Abstract Social Networking Sites (SNSs) are nowadays utilized by the whole world to share ideas, images, and valuable contents by means of a post to reach a group of users. The use of SNS often inflicts the physical and the mental health of the people. Nowadays, researchers often focus on identifying the illegal behaviors in the SNS to reduce its negative influence. The state-of-art Natural Language processing techniques for anomaly detection have utilized a wide annotated corpus to identify the anomalies and they are often time-consuming as well as certainly do not guarantee maximum accuracy. To overcome… More >

Abstract With the vast advancements in Information Technology, the emergence of Online Social Networking (OSN) has also hit its peak and captured the attention of the young generation people. The clone intends to replicate the users and inject massive malicious activities that pose a crucial security threat to the original user. However, the attackers also target this height of OSN utilization, explicitly creating the clones of the user’s account. Various clone detection mechanisms are designed based on social-network activities. For instance, monitoring the occurrence of clone edges is done to restrict the generation of clone activities.… More >

Abstract The types and functions of social networking sites are becoming more abundant with the prevalence of self-media culture, and the number of daily active users of social networking sites represented by Weibo and Zhihu continues to expand. There are key node users in social networks. Compared with ordinary users, their influence is greater, their radiation range is wider, and their information transmission capabilities are better. The key node users playimportant roles in public opinion monitoring and hot event prediction when evaluating the criticality of nodes in social networking sites. In order to solve the problems… More >

Abstract Question and answer websites such as Quora, Stack Overflow, Yahoo Answers and Answer Bag are used by professionals. Multiple users post questions on these websites to get the answers from domain specific professionals. These websites are multilingual meaning they are available in many different languages. Current problem for these types of websites is to handle meaningless and irrelevant content. In this paper we have worked on the Quora insincere questions (questions which are based on false assumptions or questions which are trying to make a statement rather than seeking for helpful answers) dataset in order More >
