More than five hundred and fifty questionnaires were distributed, highlighting workers’ preferred digital channels and platforms. The results indicate that the majority use social media through their mobile phones, with WhatsApp being the most popular app, followed by Facebook and LinkedIn. The study reveals that workers use social media for entertainment purposes and to develop professional and social relationships, with 55% unable to live without social media at work for recreational activities. In addition, 35% spend on average 1 to 2 hours on social networks, mainly between 12 p.m. and 2 p.m. It also appears that 46% believe that social networks moderately improve their productivity. These findings can guide marketing strategies, training, technology development and government policies related to the use of social media in the workplace.展开更多

However, identifying a specific type of data requires processing, which involves machine learning classifying techniques. To facilitate this, we propose a general framework that can be applied to any social media content to develop an intelligent system. The framework consists of three main parts: an interface, classifier and ana-lyzer. The analyzer uses media recognition to identify specific features. Then, the classifier uses these features and involves them in the classification process. The interface organizes the interaction between the system compo-nents. We tested the framework and developed a system to be applied to im-age-based social media networks (Instagram). The system was implemented as a mobile application (My Interests) that works as a recommendation and filtering system for Instagram users and reduces the time they spend on irre-levant information. It analyzes the images, categorizes them, identifies the in-teresting ones, and finally, reports the results. We used the Cloud Vision API as a tool to analyze the images and extract their features. Furthermore, we adapted support vector machine (SVM), a machine learning method, to classify images and to predict the preferred ones.展开更多

In the rapidly develop of the context of mobile internet and social network, the borrowing that relies on the relationship among people is not just a financial domain scope discussion topic. In the rapidly developing Chinese mobile Internet, a new anonymous mechanism which is based on interpersonal credit extension and evaluation ultimately form borrowing is continuously formed.?In this paper, the author researches and analyzes on what is relationship lending mechanism, the basic operation modes of relationship lending mechanism, a part of theoretical supporting and values.展开更多

In China, the largest and leading social media platform—Sina Weibo, a hybrid of Twitter and Facebook—has more than 600 million users. Weibo’s great market penetration suggests that tourism operators and markets need to understand how to build effective and sustainable communications on Chinese social media platforms. In order to offer a better decision support platform to tourism destination managers as well as Chinese tourists, we proposed a framework using linked data on Sina Weibo. Linked Data is a term referring to using the Internet to connect related data. We will show how it can be used and how ontology can be designed to include the users’ context (e.g., GPS locations). Our framework will provide a good theoretical foundation for further understand Chinese tourists’ expectation, experiences, behaviors and new trends in Switzerland.展开更多
