    Predicting the box office profits of a movie prior to its world wide release are a significant but also an exigent problem that needs a advanced of Intelligence. Currently, social media has given away its diagnostic strength in a variety of fields, which encourages us to develop social media substance to predict box office profits. The collection of movies in provisions of profit relies on so many features for instance its making studio, type, screenplay superiority, pre release endorsement etc, each of which are usually utilized to approximation their probable achievement at the box office. Nevertheless, the “Wisdom of Crowd” and social media have been accredited as a powerful indication in appreciative customer activities to media. In this survey, we converse the influence of socially created Meta data derived from the social multimedia websites and review the effect of social media on box office collection and success of movies. This survey paper is written for (social networking) investigators who looking for to evaluate prediction of movies using social media. It gives a complete study of social media analytics for social networking, wikis, actually easy syndication feeds, blogs, newsgroups, chat and news feeds etc. Keywords: Social Networking, Social media. Movie’s Box Office, Prediction, Profitability, Sentiment analysi

    Identifying Expert Investors on Financial Microblog via Artificial Neural Networks

    In the recent years, thanks to social media platform, a plethora of information has been available to financial investors, that were traditionally dependent from financial institutions advisors. Strategies are now shared among web users, performances of stocks are commented in web communities and hints and suggestions are travelling on the internet with a fast pace, in a way that was unthinkable few years before. Several attempts have been made in the recent past, to predict Market movements and trends from activity of Financial Social Networks participants, and to evaluate if contributions from individuals with high level of expertise distinguish themselves from the rest of crowd. The Present Work is leveraging 6 years of tweets extracted from the financial platform StockTwits.com, deep diving in its content, and proposing a predictive Neural Network algorithm of Multi-Layer Perceptron type, based on features derived from text, social network and sentiment analysis. Users have been classified based on the performance achieved during the training, consistence of their prediction has been verified throughout the time and, finally, a trading strategy has been proposed based on following the top actors. The outcomes highlighted that expert investors are outperforming the wisdom of the crowd, and the trading schema put together generated a return of 38.6%, in 2015, when S&P500 had a slightly negative balance

    Econometrics meets sentiment : an overview of methodology and applications

    Get PDF
    The advent of massive amounts of textual, audio, and visual data has spurred the development of econometric methodology to transform qualitative sentiment data into quantitative sentiment variables, and to use those variables in an econometric analysis of the relationships between sentiment and other variables. We survey this emerging research field and refer to it as sentometrics, which is a portmanteau of sentiment and econometrics. We provide a synthesis of the relevant methodological approaches, illustrate with empirical results, and discuss useful software

    Nifty Auto Index prediction on the basis of tweets sentiments

    Get PDF
    In this paper we investigate the complex relationshipbetween tweet sentiments with the Nifty Stock market AutoIndex (esp. stock prices). We will analyze sentiments for nearly 1million tweets from December 2015 to March 2016 for Nifty AutoIndex which includes 15 auto industries stocks. Our results willshow high correlation between stock prices and twittersentiments. A Granger causality analysis and a Neural Networkare then used to investigate the hypothesis that public moodstates are predictive of changes in Nifty Auto Index closingvalues

    Challenges in Complex Systems Science

    FuturICT foundations are social science, complex systems science, and ICT. The main concerns and challenges in the science of complex systems in the context of FuturICT are laid out in this paper with special emphasis on the Complex Systems route to Social Sciences. This include complex systems having: many heterogeneous interacting parts; multiple scales; complicated transition laws; unexpected or unpredicted emergence; sensitive dependence on initial conditions; path-dependent dynamics; networked hierarchical connectivities; interaction of autonomous agents; self-organisation; non-equilibrium dynamics; combinatorial explosion; adaptivity to changing environments; co-evolving subsystems; ill-defined boundaries; and multilevel dynamics. In this context, science is seen as the process of abstracting the dynamics of systems from data. This presents many challenges including: data gathering by large-scale experiment, participatory sensing and social computation, managing huge distributed dynamic and heterogeneous databases; moving from data to dynamical models, going beyond correlations to cause-effect relationships, understanding the relationship between simple and comprehensive models with appropriate choices of variables, ensemble modeling and data assimilation, modeling systems of systems of systems with many levels between micro and macro; and formulating new approaches to prediction, forecasting, and risk, especially in systems that can reflect on and change their behaviour in response to predictions, and systems whose apparently predictable behaviour is disrupted by apparently unpredictable rare or extreme events. These challenges are part of the FuturICT agenda

    Learning to Predict the Stock Market Dow Jones Index Detecting and Mining Relevant Tweets

    Stock market analysis is a primary interest for finance and such a challenging task that has always attracted many researchers. Historically, this task was accomplished by means of trend analysis, but in the last years text mining is emerging as a promising way to predict the stock price movements. Indeed, previous works showed not only a strong correlation between financial news and their impacts to the movements of stock prices, but also that the analysis of social network posts can help to predict them. These latest methods are mainly based on complex techniques to extract the semantic content and/or the sentiment of the social network posts. Differently, in this paper we describe a method to predict the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) price movements based on simpler mining techniques and text similarity measures, in order to detect and characterise relevant tweets that lead to increments and decrements of DJIA. Considering the high level of noise in the social network data, w e also introduce a noise detection method based on a two steps classification. We tested our method on 10 millions twitter posts spanning one year, achieving an accuracy of 88.9% in the Dow Jones daily prediction, that is, to the best our knowledge, the best result in the literature approaches based on social networks

    A Comprehensive Analysis of Approaches for Sentiment Analysis Using Twitter Data on COVID-19 Vaccines

    Sentiment Analysis has paved routes for opinion analysis of masses over unrestricted territorial limits. With the advent and growth of social media like Twitter, Facebook, WhatsApp, Snapchat in today’s world, stakeholders and the public often takes to ex-pressing their opinion on them and drawing conclusions. While these social media data are extremely informative and well connected, the major challenge lies in incorporating efficient Text Classification strategies which not only overcomes the unstructured and humongous nature of data but also generates correct polarity of opinions (i.e. positive, negative, and neutral) . This paper is a thorough effort to provide a brief study about various approaches to SA including Machine Learning, Lexicon Based, and Automatic Approaches. The paper also highlights the comparison of positive, negative, and neu-tral tweets of the Sputnik V, Moderna, and Covaxin vaccines used for preventive and emergency use of COVID-19 disease
