Living analytics methods for the social web

The collective effervescence of social media production has been enjoying a great deal of success in recent years. The hundred of millions of users who are actively participating in the "Social Web" are exposed to ever-growing amounts of sites, relationships, and information. This work contributes state-of-the-art methods and techniques to the emerging field of "Living Analytics", whose main goal is to capture people interactions in real-time and to analyze these data in order to relieve information overload. We introduce intelligent filtering approaches that exploit social interactions, multidimensional relationships, metadata, and other data becoming ubiquitous in the social web, in order to discover and recommend the most relevant and attractive information that meets users' individual needs.
