Road traffic pollution is one of the key factors affecting urban air quality. There is a consensus in the community that the efficient use of public transport is the most effective solution. In that sense, much effort has been made in the data mining discipline to come up with solutions able to anticipate taxi demands in a city. This helps to optimize the trips made by such an important urban means of transport. However, most of the existing solutions in the literature define the taxi demand prediction as a regression problem based on historical taxi records. This causes serious limitations with respect to the required data to operate and the interpretability of the prediction outcome. In this paper, we introduce QUADRIVEN (QUalitative tAxi Demand pRediction based on tIme-Variant onlinE social Network data analysis), a novel approach to deal with the taxi demand prediction problem based on human-generated data widely available on online social networks. The result of the prediction is defined on the basis of categorical labels that allow obtaining a semantically-enriched output. Finally, this proposal was tested with different models in a large urban area, showing quite promising results with an F1 score above 0.8.

<span lang="EN-US">Besides the Internet search facility and e-mails, social networking is now one of the three best uses of the Internet. A tremendous number of volunteers every day write articles, share photos, videos and links at a scope and scale never imagined before. However, because social network data are huge and come from heterogeneous sources, the data are highly susceptible to inconsistency, redundancy, noise, and loss. For data scientists, preparing the data and getting it into a standard format is critical because the quality of data is going to directly affect the performance of mining algorithms that are going to be applied next. Low-quality data will certainly limit the analysis and lower the quality of mining results. To this end, the goal of this study is to provide an overview of the different phases involved in data preprocessing, with a focus on social network data. As a case study, we will show how we applied preprocessing to the data that we collected for the Malaysian Flight MH370 that disappeared in 2014.</span>

Compared with the conventional network data analysis, the data analysis based on social network has a very clear object of analysis, various forms of analysis, and more methods and contents of analysis. If the conventional analysis methods are applied to social network data analysis, we will find that the analysis results do not reach our expected results. The results of the above studies are usually based on statistical methods and machine learning methods, but some systems use other methods, such as self-organizing self-learning mechanisms and concept retrieval. With regard to the current data analysis methods, data models, and social network data, this paper conducts a series of researches from data acquisition, data cleaning and processing, data model application and optimization of the model in the process of application, and how the formed data analysis results can be used for managers to make decisions. In this paper, the number of customer evaluations, the time of evaluation, the frequency of evaluation, and the score of evaluation are clustered and analyzed, and finally, the results obtained by the two clustering methods applied in the analysis process are compared to build a customer grading system. The analysis results can be used to maintain the current Amazon purchase customers in a hierarchical manner, and the most valuable customers need to be given key attention, combining social network big data with micro marketing to improve Amazon’s sales performance and influence, developing from the original single shopping mall model to a comprehensive e-commerce platform, and cultivating their own customer base.
