I would like to present the new
results obtained while studying the concept "end of the world." The tweets
with the keywords "end, world" were under investigation. Previous
results are shown here. While analyzing the dynamics of
frequent sets of keywords one may single out the following groups due to the
maximums :
1) frequent sets with the maximum of
7-8 days before the event on December 21
2) frequent sets with the maximum of
1-3 days before December 21
3) frequent sets with the maximum exactly
on December 21
4) frequent sets with the maximum
after December 21
5) frequent sets wich change periodically
Here are some examples of such frequent sets:
frequent sets with the maximum of 7-8 days before the event on December 21
frequent sets with the maximum of 1-3 days before December 21
Support and confidence for examples of assotiative rules
keywords with the maximum exactly on December 21
frequent sets with the maximum after December 21
frequent sets wich change periodically
It is obvious that the most interesting
are the frequent sets with the maximum before the anticipated event. Such
keywords sets can be considered as predictive markers. By the nature of their
maximum it is possible to judge to what extent the discussion of the
anticipated event may be socially significant. For example, in case of
necessity, considering prognostic markers, the government may resort to follow-up
actions, such as information explanations, as it was done by NASA (), since it
was known beforehand that there are no academic prerequisites for anxiety.
However, for some part of the population the topic of doomsday on December 21,
2012 caused serious concern.
This
information process is somewhat similar to a viral epidemic, it is a new
characteristic property of social networks, with the absence of which the scales
of discussion of unscientific topics would be much lower. In my further
research I am planning to explore the methods of automated detection of
prognostic markers. I see a great potential in the genetic algorithms methods,
which can give polynomial acceleration for given class of problems.
Please be welcome to leave your comments, so I could see whether it is rational to continue such studies.
