PAST EVENT

Details

With increase in usage of the Internet, social media platforms, huge amount of data is getting generated at various level; one of the dire need of the hour is to see how we can use this data to have societal impact. I will briefly mention some super cool projects that we have worked on and that have made some visible contributions to the world outside academia. All work presented in the talk (including datasets, code, slides, recorded videos) has related publications at Precog Projects that I will touch upon are — Legal - AI, Selfie deaths / Killfie #GeneralElections2019 (Mis)Information / Fake content, Code-Mixed data on Social Media. We all understand, many real world problems cannot be addressed by a single domain faculty / researcher, we need more students & faculty to come together, hoping to generate some interest to join hands to have an impact and make a difference. Many of our research work is made available for public use through tools or online services at Precog including datasets that we have used in our research work. Our work derives techniques from Computational Social Science, Data Science, Statistics, and Network Science.
