Learning outcomes |
Study of the general concepts involved in social media. The leading technologies involved in the creation and maintenance of social networks as well as the creation of applications in this paradigm. Knowledge extraction in social networks — “Social Intelligence.”
In this course, students should acquire a variety of concepts and techniques involved in the design, maintenance, and analysis of instances of social media. Beginning with a brief overview of some conceptual aspects underlying social networks, students will learn to work with development libraries (APIs) for social networking. At the third stage, and taking advantage of previously acquired knowledge, students will learn to analyze and extract relevant information, potentially latent, on a social network. The purpose of this last point focuses on the use of existing technologies, already implemented and accessible to perform this kind of task.
