Managing and Analyzing Big Geo-Social Data
Abstract: The widespread adoption of online social networks and location-aware
mobile devices has resulted in a continuously increasing amount of published
user-generated, geo-tagged content. Typical examples include tweets, check-ins,
photo/video uploads, route posts (e.g., taxi rides, running trails). This big
geo-social data essentially captures people's everyday interactions between the
physical and digital world, and presents immense opportunities for creating
added value to domains such as location-based services, smart cities, tourism.
In this talk, we will present methods for efficiently handling and effectively
analyzing large amounts of such data.
