UTool is a webapp fully developed by UPV researchers for the analysis of big data collected from social networks. Some of its fields of application are:

Urban planning and management

streamlining of public transport, optimal placement of a new service or business...

Marketing

social patterns recognition, community detection, identifying influencers...

Public opinion analysis

recognition of complains or rising fashions and trends, popularity of an event...

INFRASTRUCTURE

This application has been developed using Django, the most popular Python web framework.

Raw data begins being collected by the application when a user creates a new “collecting task” for a hashtag, a geographical area, or both. UTool will query a social network and the upcoming flow of tweets will be filtered and saved in a distributed system based on HDFS and Parquet designed for massive storage scalability. Data is then ready to be processed with any of the analytic tools available, and this is performed using efficient and parallel big data computing libraries such as Dask.

Finally, an easy to use web frontend presents the computation results to the user in a visual way.

ANALYSIS TOOLS

The toolkit offered by UTool provides utilities to analyze social network data based on three essential axes: spatial location, social interaction amongst users, and emotional load of the text.
