SOCIAL MEDIA INTELLIGENCE AND LEARNING ENVIRONMENT (SMILE)

One platform for social media data ingestion, analysis, and data sharing. SMILE collects real time and historical social media data from Twitter and Reddit, performs sentiment analysis, phrase mining, entity recognition, machine learning classification, network analysis and so on. You can share your computation result to Clowder and sharing with your collaborators.
At our playground, we provide a temporary space for your experimentation, where no data is stored beyond a day.

Effortless On-Premises Deployment

docker

Experience hassle-free deployment of our full stack of apps right on your own machine with ease. For deployment, SMILE leverages Kubernetes, utilizing Helm charts to define, install, and manage applications seamlessly. This integration simplifies the deployment and administration of complex applications through templating and version control. Each component of SMILE, such as the SMILE server, graphql data server, algorithms, and MinIO instance, is encapsulated as Docker containers and individually deployed within Kubernetes. This approach enables independent management of component activation, scaling, and storage configuration without causing disruptions. Furthermore, the internal networking system provided by Kubernetes enhances the overall security of the system.
For lightweight deployments where scalability is not a concern, SMILE also offers a Docker Compose setup option. This alternative provides a simpler learning curve and requires fewer resources compared to Kubernetes.
