Title: Life in the Network:  The Coming Age of Computational Social Science

Abstract:
An increasing fraction of human interactions are digitally captured.  
These digital breadcrumbs, combined with substantial computational  
power, create enormous opportunities for ground breaking science. This  
talk will discuss what some of the potential opportunities are for  
developing an improved understanding of collective human behavior, as  
well the potential barriers to the emergence of a "computational  
social science." In particular, the objective of this talk will be to  
spur discussion regarding how to bridge the gap between various  
methods for data mining and enhancing understanding of human behavior.

Host: Jay Aslam
