• Abstract: Social network platforms have increased and become very popular in the last decade; they allow people to create an online account to then interact with others creating a complicated net of connections. LinkedIn is one of the most used social media platform, created and used for professional purposes. Here, indeed, the user can either apply for job positions or join professional communities to deepen his own knowledge and expertise and be always up to date in the interested field. The primary objectives of this paper are assessing LinkedIn's usability, by using both user and expert evaluation and giving recommendations for the developer to improve this social network. This has been achieved through different steps; initially, feedbacks have been collected, via questionnaire, from direct users. Later, the usability issues, which have been underlined by users in the questionnaire, have been explored, by simulating user's problem-solving process, through Walkthrough. Finally, the overall usability of LinkedIn application has been measured by using SUS (System Usability Scale).

  We leverage user feedback from three popular online sources, Reddit, Google Play Store, and Twitter, for 50 of the most popular apps in the world. Using a Socio-Technical Grounded Theory approach, we analyzed 23,107 posts across the three sources and identified 1,211 inclusiveness related posts. Our study provides an in-depth view of inclusiveness-related user feedback from most popular apps and online sources.

  We propose a user embedding method based on the URL domain co-occurrence network, which is simple but effective for representing social media users in competing events. Our results revealed that user embeddings generated directly from the retweet network, and those based on language, performed below expectations. These findings suggest that the domain-based user embedding can serve as an effective tool to characterize social media users participating in competing events.

  Currently, there is no automated way of determining which news or users are credible and which are not.

We classified the political Twitter users as either trusted or untrusted using random forest, multilayer perceptron, and support vector machine.

  Social language used by human agents is associated with greater users' responsiveness and task completion. The model uses a sequence-to-sequence deep learning architecture, extended with a social language understanding element. Evaluation in terms of content preservation and social language level using both human judgment and automatic linguistic measures shows that the model can generate responses that enable agents to address users' issues in a more socially appropriate way.
