With the Internet becoming the universal source of information for millions of people, the public have gradually shifted their interactions and the focus of life to Internet platforms. Social science studies are merging traditional approaches into these new media and platforms, creating novel research issues and study methods. The rise of AI further is creating tremendous demand for related techniques, forcing an interaction between social network analysis and artificial intelligence, including text mining and machine learning. It has become a trend to investigate critical social issues by triangulating computational social scientific approaches and traditional social scientific methods.

This symposium will invite internationally renowned scholars, all with expertise in communications and leading roles in their specific fields, to share their professional experience and provide feedback. These experts will highlight the leading-edge research into important issues in different countries or common concerns worldwide, integrating communication with computational opinion-mining approaches. You are welcome to join us! We are looking forward to meeting you at the CDNA Symposium.
