Over the course of the semester, we will be diving deeply into the study of behavior on social computing platforms—specifically Twitter and OpenStreetMap (OSM). The class will be using data from the crisis informatics research of Project EPIC (Professor Palen's research group), which collects large-scale social computing data sets from primarily natural disasters around the world. We will provided these data sets to the class. Details to come.
