Social network trends

Social network trends are constantly evolving as technology and user behavior change.

Video Content Dominance: The dominance of video content continued to grow, with platforms like TikTok and Instagram Reels becoming extremely popular. Short-form videos, live streaming, and user-generated video content were on the rise.

Ephemeral Content: Stories, which disappear after a short period, became increasingly popular. This feature was first popularized by Snapchat and was later adopted by platforms like Instagram and Facebook.

Audio Social Networks: Audio-based social networks like Clubhouse gained momentum. These platforms allowed users to participate in audio conversations, creating a new form of social interaction.

Privacy Concerns: Concerns about data privacy and user data security led to increased scrutiny of social media platforms. Regulations and user awareness around data privacy issues were growing.

Niche and Specialized Platforms: Smaller, specialized social networks gained traction, targeting specific interests or communities. For example, platforms like Strava for athletes or Vero for content creators.

Augmented Reality (AR) Filters and Features: Social networks incorporated more augmented reality features, like face filters, stickers, and interactive AR experiences.

Inclusivity and Accessibility: Social networks worked on making their platforms more inclusive and accessible to people with disabilities. Features for image descriptions, improved screen reader support, and better keyboard navigation were introduced.

E-commerce Integration: Social networks started integrating e-commerce features, allowing users to shop directly from the platforms. Instagram's shopping feature is an example of this trend.

Cryptocurrency and NFTs: The use of cryptocurrency and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) for digital ownership and transactions became more prevalent in the social media space, particularly in the art and entertainment sectors.

Community Building: Many users turned to social media for community building, driven by shared interests or causes. Facebook Groups and other community-focused features gained importance.

Global Lighthouse Network

Smart, sustainable manufacturing: 3 lessons from the Global Lighthouse Network Launched in 2018, when more than 70% of factories struggled to scale digital transformation beyond isolated pilots, the Global Lighthouse Network set out to identify the world’s most advanced production sites and create a shared learning journey to up-level the global manufacturing community. In the past seven years, the network has grown from 16 to 201 industrial sites in more than 30 countries and 35 sectors, including the latest cohort of 13 new sites. This growing community of organizations is setting new standards for operational excellence, leveraging advanced technologies to drive growth, productivity, resilience and environmental sustainability. But what exactly is a Global Lighthouse and what has the network achieved? What is the Global Lighthouse Network? The Global Lighthouse Network is a community of operational facilities and value chains that harness digital technologies at scale to ac...

Multi-Modal Data

Multi-Task Federated Split Learning Across Multi-Modal Data with Privacy Preservation With the advancement of federated learning (FL), there is a growing demand for schemes that support multi-task learning on multi-modal data while ensuring robust privacy protection, especially in applications like intelligent connected vehicles. Traditional FL schemes often struggle with the complexities introduced by multi-modal data and diverse task requirements, such as increased communication overhead and computational burdens. In this paper, we propose a novel privacy-preserving scheme for multi-task federated split learning across multi-modal data (MTFSLaMM). Our approach leverages the principles of split learning to partition models between clients and servers, employing a modular design that reduces computational demands on resource-constrained clients. To ensure data privacy, we integrate differential privacy to protect intermediate data and employ homomorphic encryption to safeguard client m...

Intelligent visual question answering in TCM education: An innovative application of IoT and multimodal fusion This paper proposes an innovative Traditional Chinese Medicine Ancient Text Education Intelligent Visual Question Answering System ( TCM-VQA IoTNet ), which integrates Internet of Things (IoT) technology with multimodal learning to achieve a deep understanding and intelligent question answering of both the images and textual content of traditional Chinese medicine ancient texts. The system utilizes the VisualBERT model for multimodal feature extraction, combined with Gated Recurrent Units (GRU) to process time-series data from IoT sensors, and employs an attention mechanism to optimize feature fusion, dynamically adjusting the question answering strategy. Experimental evaluations on standard datasets such as VQA v2.0, CMRC 2018, and the Chinese Traditional Medicine Dataset demonstrate that TCM-VQA IoTNet achieves accuracy rates of 72.7%, 69.%, and 75.4% respectively, with F1-...
