Intelligent Analytics and Integration of Internet Memes

Description

Internet memes are a popular tool for creatively expressing ideas on the Web. Machine understanding of memes would benefit researchers interested in trends, virality of topics, and hate speech. However, understanding memes is difficult, as it requires combining text, vision, and extensive background knowledge. Recently, we created an Internet Meme Knowledge Graph that contains rich information about thousands of entities. In this project, we will perform extensive profiling of the Internet Meme Knowledge Graph, enrich it with other sources, and store its knowledge into a centralized resource like Wikidata.
