Data Analysis of Music Festival Tweets

Analysis of events significant for the audience, visualization of listener data, user activity charts, comparison of festivals and artists in popularity.

Objective

IBM jStart (a concern of the IBM Software Solutions Group) contacted Axmor with the aim of gathering tweets related to music festivals, subsequently providing data analysis, identification of certain patterns and breakdowns of visual analytics.

The outcome — the BlueMix Insights service and IBM Watson analytical services capabilities demonstration.

Solution

Over the course of three months, the Axmor team aggregated and analyzed over 2000 tweets focusing on the Coachella festival and similar music events, in addition to popular artists from our client's list. The data was collected using the BlueMix Insights service. The BlueMix Watson Tone Analyzer tool was implemented in order to analyze message tonality.

Utilizing machine learning technology, Axmor developed a trigger driven model which classifies determined tweets.
