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.

Advertising with privacy: How SoMin employs AI to build brands and preserve anonymity online
07 May 2021
Ads are everywhere. From expensive billboards to car door stickers, ads occupy every visible surface wherever we go. At the turn of the century, advertisers began to shift their focus online.
In the span of twenty years, we established a thriving ecosystem where brands can reach their targeted consumers in increasingly creative ways across the web.
Whether it is Facebook ads, Spotify banners, or pop-up notifications, consumers today are bombarded by ads nearly every second of every day.
Whilst receiving relevant ads may value-add to our busy lives, it does get a little annoying when you see that same pair of sneakers you searched for just once start appearing across all the web applications that you use.
In the end, cheap advertising that simply shoves products and services in consumers’ faces stand a higher chance of backfiring on their advertisers instead.
