Studying the behaviour of social media users is an important problem in computational social science. Automated inference of user characteristics has applications in personalised recommender systems, targeted computational advertising and online political campaigning. In this talk, I will present three case studies: (1) inferring socioeconomic characteristics (e.g., income and occupational class); (2) studying voting behaviour; and (3) complaints.
