• Abstract: This discussion paper demonstrates how longitudinal sentiment analyses can depict intertemporal dynamics on social media platforms, what challenges are inherent and how further research could benefit from a longitudinal perspective. Furthermore and since tools for sentiment analyses shall simplify and accelerate the analytical process regarding qualitative data at acceptable inter-rater reliability, their applicability in the context of radicalization research will be examined regarding the Tweets collected on January 6th 2021, the day of the storming of the U.S. Capitol in Washington. Therefore, a total of 49,350 Tweets will be analyzed evenly distributed within three different sequences: before, during and after the U.S. Capitol in Washington was stormed. These sequences highlight the intertemporal dynamics within comments on social media platforms as well as the possible benefits of a longitudinal perspective when using conditional means and conditional variances. Limitations regarding the identification of supporters of such events and associated hate speech as well as common application errors will be demonstrated as well. As a result, only under certain conditions a longitudinal sentiment analysis can increase the accuracy of evidence based predictions in the context of radicalization research.

  We propose an approach to identity resolution across social media platforms using the topics, sentiments, and timings of the posts on the platforms. After collecting the public posts of around 5000 profiles from Disqus and Twitter, we analyze their posts to match their profiles across the two platforms.

  Attack Graph (AG) represents the best-suited solution to support cyber risk assessment for multi-step attacks on computer networks. Current solutions propose to address the generation problem from the algorithmic perspective and postulate the analysis only after the generation is complete. This paper rethinks the classic AG analysis through a novel workflow in which the analyst can query the system anytime.

  The ability to track large-scale events as they happen is essential for understanding them and coordinating reactions in an appropriate and timely manner. We are exploring the hypothesis that this kind of data can be augmented with the ingestion of semi-structured data sources, like social media. Social media can diffuse valuable knowledge, such as direct witness or expert opinions, while their noisy nature makes them not trivial to manage.

  Social media allows researchers to track societal and cultural changes over time based on language analysis tools. Many of these tools rely on statistical algorithms which need to be tuned to specific types of language. Recent studies have shown the absence of appropriate tuning, specifically in the presence of semantic shift, can hinder robustness of the underlying methods.
