This special issue aims to offer a premier forum for social media researchers and practitioners who are contributing to and interested in linking social media, intelligent techniques, data and computations.

The present digital era has led to a deluge of data in most realms of social media applications. Data is being generated at an exponential rate in different platforms such as social networking sites, micro-blogging sites, professional collaboration sites, video sharing sites, curation sites, knowledge domains, blogging sites and technical collaboration sites. In recent years, efforts have been made to leverage social media content using various statistical or computational techniques.

Businesses and governments use social media to build relationships with their stakeholders. Brands engage with their consumers through social media websites in order to get valuable feedback on products, services and promotion strategies. As a result, there is a need to document emergent research that explores intelligent techniques that capture various useful insights from enormous amounts of user-generated content on social media platforms, thereby contributing to developments either in theory, methodology, applications or in the domain. This special issue aims to present such research.
