An Unsupervised Approach to User Characterization in Online Learning and Social Platforms

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

Making sense of data that is automatically collected from online platforms such as online social media or e-learning platforms is a challenging task: the data is massive, multidimensional, noisy, and heterogeneous (composed of differently behaving individuals). In this chapter we focus on a central task common to all on-line social platforms and that is the task of user characterization. For example, automatically identify a spammer or a bot on Twitter, or a disengaged student in an e-learning platform.
