Title: Text mining in social network analysis Author: Bc. Michal Hušek Department: Department of Theoretical Computer Science and Mathematical Logic Supervisor: doc. RNDr. Iveta Mrázová, CSc., Department of Theoretical Computer Science and Mathematical Logic Abstract: Nowadays, social networks represent one of the most important sources of valuable information. This work focuses on mining the data provided by social networks. Multiple data mining techniques are discussed and analysed in this work, namely, clustering, neural networks, ranking algorithms and histogram statistics. Most of the mentioned algorithms have been implemented and tested on real-world social network data and the obtained results have been mutually compared against each other whenever it made sense. For computationally demanding tasks, graphic processing units have been used in order to speed up calculations for vast amounts of data, e.g., during clustering. The performed tests have confirmed lower time requirements. All the performed analyses are, however, independent of the actually involved type of social network. Keywords: data mining, social networks, clustering, neural networks, ranking algorithms, CUDA
