Additional information

<16>Paper showed policymakers how content on social media can be filtered, using predictive models of attention generation. This work was integrated into the WeGov platform, which was demonstrated to over 80 delegates in a high profile event in Westminster, organised to debate how social media can inform policy-making. BBC covered the event (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-19555756), highlighting how this is ""specifically designed for politicians, enabling them to monitor debates, filter out the background 'noise' and zoom in on what people are saying about them and their policies"". This work led to the funding of a new EU project; Sense4Us (http://cordis.europa.eu/projects/rcn/110186_en.html).
