Crawling and analyzing this content provides a new approach for enterprises to personalize services and put forward product recommendations. In the past few years, brands made a gradual appearance on social media platforms for advertisement, customers support and public relation purposes and by now it became a necessity throughout all branches. This online identity can be represented as a brand personality that reflects how a brand is perceived by its customers. We exploited recent research in text analysis and personality detection to build an automatic brand personality prediction model on top of the (Five-Factor Model) and (Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count) features extracted from publicly available benchmarks. The proposed model reported significant accuracy in predicting specific personality traits form brands. For evaluating our prediction results on actual brands, we crawled the Facebook API for 100k posts from the most valuable brands' pages in the USA and we visualize exemplars of comparison results and present suggestions for future directions.}, language = {en} } @misc{BinTareafBergerHennigetal.2018, author = {Bin Tareaf, Raad and Berger, Philipp and Hennig, Patrick and Meinel, Christoph}, title = {ASEDS}, series = {IEEE 20th International Conference on High Performance Computing and Communications; IEEE 16th International Conference on Smart City; IEEE 4th International Conference on Data Science and Systems (HPCC/SmartCity/DSS))}, journal = {IEEE 20th International Conference on High Performance Computing and Communications; IEEE 16th International Conference on Smart City; IEEE 4th International Conference on Data Science and Systems (HPCC/SmartCity/DSS))}, publisher = {IEEE}, address = {New York}, isbn = {978-1-5386-6614-2}, doi = {10.1109/HPCC/SmartCity/DSS.2018.00143}, pages = {860 -- 866}, year = {2018}, abstract = {The Massive adoption of social media has provided new ways for individuals to express their opinion and emotion online. In 2016, Facebook introduced a new reactions feature that allows users to express their psychological emotions regarding published contents using so-called Facebook reactions. In this paper, a framework for predicting the distribution of Facebook post reactions is presented. For this purpose, we collected an enormous amount of Facebook posts associated with their reactions labels using the proposed scalable Facebook crawler. The training process utilizes 3 million labeled posts for more than 64,000 unique Facebook pages from diverse categories. The evaluation on standard benchmarks using the proposed features shows promising results compared to previous research. The final model is able to predict the reaction distribution on Facebook posts with a recall score of 0.90 for "Joy" emotion.}, language = {en} } @misc{BiloFriedrichLenzneretal.2019, author = {Bilo, Davide and Friedrich, Tobias and Lenzner, Pascal and Melnichenko, Anna}, title = {Geometric Network Creation Games}, series = {SPAA '19: The 31st ACM Symposium on Parallelism in Algorithms and Architectures}, journal = {SPAA '19: The 31st ACM Symposium on Parallelism in Algorithms and Architectures}, publisher = {Association for Computing Machinery}, address = {New York}, isbn = {978-1-4503-6184-2}, doi = {10.1145/3323165.3323199}, pages = {323 -- 332}, year = {2019}, abstract = {Network Creation Games are a well-known approach for explaining and analyzing the structure, quality and dynamics of real-world networks like the Internet and other infrastructure networks which evolved via the interaction of selfish agents without a central authority. In these games selfish agents which correspond to nodes in a network strategically buy incident edges to improve their centrality. However, past research on these games has only considered the creation of networks with unit-weight edges. In practice, e.g. when constructing a fiber-optic network, the choice of which nodes to connect and also the induced price for a link crucially depends on the distance between the involved nodes and such settings can be modeled via edge-weighted graphs. We incorporate arbitrary edge weights by generalizing the well-known model by Fabrikant et al. [PODC'03] to edge-weighted host graphs and focus on the geometric setting where the weights are induced by the distances in some metric space. In stark contrast to the state-of-the-art for the unit-weight version, where the Price of Anarchy is conjectured to be constant and where resolving this is a major open problem, we prove a tight non-constant bound on the Price of Anarchy for the metric version and a slightly weaker upper bound for the non-metric case. Moreover, we analyze the existence of equilibria, the computational hardness and the game dynamics for several natural metrics. The model we propose can be seen as the game-theoretic analogue of a variant of the classical Network Design Problem. Thus, low-cost equilibria of our game correspond to decentralized and stable approximations of the optimum network design.}, language = {en} } @misc{Bilgen2024, author = {Bilgen, Isa}, title = {Our dignity in your hands}, series = {Verfassungsblog : on matters constitutional}, journal = {Verfassungsblog : on matters constitutional}, publisher = {Max Steinbeis Verfassungsblog gGmbH}, address = {Berlin}, issn = {2366-7044}, doi = {10.17176/20240204-004255-0}, pages = {9}, year = {2024}, language = {en} } @misc{BijleveldZoutewelleTerovanHuscheketal.2016, author = {Bijleveld, Catrien and Zoutewelle-Terovan, Mioara and Huschek, Doreen and Liefbroer, Aart C.}, title = {Criminal careers and demographic outcomes: An introduction to the special issue}, series = {Advances in life course research}, volume = {28}, journal = {Advances in life course research}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Oxford}, issn = {1569-4909}, doi = {10.1016/j.alcr.2016.05.001}, pages = {1 -- 5}, year = {2016}, language = {en} } @misc{BestZhengBorgiaetal.2018, author = {Best, Robert B. and Zheng, Wenwei and Borgia, Alessandro and Buholzer, Karin and Borgia, Madeleine B. and Hofmann, Hagen and Soranno, Andrea and Nettels, Daniel and Gast, Klaus and Grishaev, Alexander and Schuler, Benjamin}, title = {Comment on "Innovative scattering analysis shows that hydrophobic disordered proteins are expanded in water"}, series = {Science}, volume = {361}, journal = {Science}, number = {6405}, publisher = {American Assoc. for the Advancement of Science}, address = {Washington}, issn = {0036-8075}, doi = {10.1126/science.aar7101}, pages = {2}, year = {2018}, abstract = {Riback et al.

A recent paper by Das [Phys. Rev. E 92, 052914 (2015)] shows that spatiotemporal chaos of the intermittency type can disappear as the advective flow is increased. This study, however, refers to a single point in the space of kinetic parameters of the original Gray-Scott model. Here we show that the wealth of patterns increases substantially as some of these parameters are changed. In addition to spatiotemporal intermittency, defect-mediated turbulence can also be found. In all cases, however, the chaotic behavior is seen to disappear as the advective flow is increased, following a scenario similar to what was reported in our earlier work [I. Berenstein and C. Beta, Phys. Rev. E 86, 056205 (2012)] as well as by Das. We also point out that a similar phenomenon can be found in other reaction-diffusion-advection models, such as the Oregonator model for the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction under flow conditions.}, language = {en} } @misc{BenderGrumGronauetal.2019, author = {Bender, Benedict and Grum, Marcus and Gronau, Norbert and Alfa, Attahiru and Maharaj, B.

Using hybrid simulation allows us to include real and simulated concepts and thereby benchmark different approaches with reasonable effort.
