Research Projects

An opportunity for hands-on experience with current research Several team projects, organized into two topics: Twitter-Crimes

Tracking Twitter Crime Reports Placing it on maps Spatio-Temporal Analysis: When, Where, What is happening? Other Events of interests (disasters?); other types of Analysis and Visualization?

Experts Search Allow non experts to identify experts on a given topic

Computer Science: Machine Learning; Computer Architecture; Computer Graphics….

Oil Spills? Identify Expertise; Find Experts A Mailing List Assistant

You can impact all stages of the project
