Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study Emilio Ferrara is best known for:

  • Statistics
  • Social network analysis
  • Machine learning

In the subject of general Modularity (biology), his work in Genetics is often linked to Theoretical computer science and Operating system, thereby combining diverse domains of study. His Genetics study frequently links to adjacent areas such as Modularity (biology). Emilio Ferrara integrates many fields in his works, including Operating system and World Wide Web. He regularly links together related areas like Complex network in his World Wide Web studies. Social network (sociolinguistics) and Social network analysis are the two main areas of interest in his Social media studies. Artificial intelligence is connected with Sentiment analysis, Theoretical computer science, Machine learning and Data science in his study. Emilio Ferrara merges Sentiment analysis with Social media in his research. In his works, Emilio Ferrara undertakes multidisciplinary study on Machine learning and Artificial intelligence. Presidential election, Presidential system, Public opinion, Social movement and Democracy are closely tied to his Politics research.

His most cited work include:

  • The rise of social bots (1247 citations)
  • Graph embedding techniques, applications, and performance: A survey (1184 citations)
  • Tracking Social Media Discourse About the COVID-19 Pandemic: Development of a Public Coronavirus Twitter Data Set (463 citations)
