A. Farseev, I. Samborskii, and T.-S. Chua. bBridge: A Big Data Platform for Social Multimedia Analytics. ACM Multimedia Conference 2016, Oct. 15 - 19, 2016.
17 January 2019
In this technical demonstration, we propose a cloud-based Big Data Platform for Social Multimedia Analytics called bBridge that automatically detects and profiles meaningful user communities in a specified geographical region, followed by rich analytics on communities’ multimedia streams. The system executes a community detection approach that considers the ability of social networks to complement each other during the process of latent representation learning, while the community profiling is implemented based on the state-of-the-art multi-modal latent topic modeling and personal user profiling techniques. The stream analytics is performed via cloud-based stream analytics engine, while the multi-source data crawler deployed as a distributed cloud jobs. Overall, the bBridge platform integrates all the above techniques to serve both business and personal objectives.

16 Tips To Help Ensure Good Ergonomic Design In New Tech Tools
21 September 2022
While there’s more focus than ever on providing a good user interface/user experience in new tech tools, that doesn’t just mean adding lots of “wow” functionality. To ensure the best UX, it’s important for hardware and software developers to also pay attention to ergonomic design. A focus on ergonomics ensures that the tool is adapted to foster comfort and convenience for the human user—that is, the human should inform how the tool works, not the other way around.
While the concept is simple enough, implementing it can be challenging, as designers must take account of factors ranging from device sizes to color palettes. Here, 16 members of Forbes Technology Council share tips to help developers ensure they’ve incorporated good ergonomic design principles in their products.
16 Smart And Effective Uses For Digital Twin Technology
20 September 2022
A digital twin is precisely what its name suggests: A digital copy of a physical object or system—even a human being. It may be a simple concept, but the potential applications are anything but. Through the ongoing collection and exchange of data, a digital twin can simulate and even predict the behaviors and reactions of its physical twin in a variety of conditions, providing invaluable insights to industries ranging from manufacturing to healthcare.
Digital twin technology allows businesses and organizations to test products and processes, study and predict how real-world conditions can affect physical objects and beings, and make well-informed, big-impact decisions with minimized financial and human safety risks. Below, 16 members of Forbes Technology Council share some of the fascinating ways industries and organizations are leveraging digital twin technology.
