The ability to understand the expertise of users in Social Networking Sites (SNSs) is a key component for delivering effective information services such as talent seeking and user recommendation. However, users are often unwilling to make the effort to explicitly provide this information, so existing methods aimed at user expertise discovery in SNSs primarily rely on implicit inference. This work aims to infer a user's expertise based on their posts on the popular micro-blogging site Twitter. The work proposes a sentiment-weighted and topic relation-regularized learning model to address this problem. It first uses the sentiment intensity of a tweet to evaluate its importance in inferring a user's expertise. The intuition is that if a person can forcefully and subjectively express their opinion on a topic, it is more likely that the person has strong knowledge of that topic. Secondly, the relatedness between expertise topics is exploited to model the inference problem. The experiments reported in this paper were conducted on a large-scale dataset with over 10,000 Twitter users and 149 expertise topics. The results demonstrate the success of our proposed approach in user expertise inference and show that the proposed approach outperforms several alternative methods.

Poly(2‐alkyl‐2‐oxazoline)s (PAOx) are regaining interest for biomedical applications. However, their full potential is hampered by the inability to synthesise uniform high‐molar mass PAOx. In this work, we proposed alternative intrinsic chain transfer mechanisms based on 2‐oxazoline and oxazolinium chain‐end tautomerisation and derived improved polymerization conditions to suppress chain transfer, allowing the synthesis of highly defined poly(2‐ethyl‐2‐oxazoline)s up to ca. 50 kDa (dispersity ( Ð ) <1.05) and defined polymers up to at least 300 kDa ( Ð <1.2). The determination of the chain transfer constants for the polymerisations hinted towards the tautomerisation of the oxazolinium chain end as most plausible cause for chain transfer. Finally, the method was applied for the preparation of up to 60 kDa molar mass copolymers of 2‐ethyl‐2‐oxazoline and 2‐methoxycarbonylethyl‐2‐oxazoline.

Subgroup discovery and community detection are two approaches having been studied in different research areas like data mining and social network analysis. In this context, these techniques are especially helpful in order to provide for analytical and explorative data mining approaches. We present an organized picture of recent research in subgroup discovery and community detection specifically focusing on attributed graphs. That is, we include complex relational graphs that are annotated with additional information, e.g., attribute information on the nodes and/or edges of the graph. In addition, we especially summarize a method combining both community detection and subgroup discovery resulting in a description-oriented approach for.

In order to provide a qualitative support to the users during a web search, it is important to have access to a multitude of information sources simultaneously. Depending on the available domain expertise, the user can get an overview and insight to different information perspectives and compare the quality of resources. In this work, we present an exploratory search engine that simultaneously accesses internet resources and a local knowledge base given in the form of ontologies. The ontologies are used to define the search context and can be extended during exploration with new information, thus making the search process adaptive and iterative. We demonstrate our system on an example from the fitness domain, where the user searches for physical training exercises on the Web to complete a personal training plan.
