Overview | The emergence of online social networks opens up unprecedented opportunities to read the collective mind, discovering emergent trends while they are still being hatched by small groups of creative individuals. Using concepts from psychology and sociology you will get the opportunity to lead and work in a wide range of projects doing analysis of large corpora of digital traces of human activity. The Web has become a mirror of the real world, allowing to study and better understand why some new ideas change our lives, while others never make it from the drawing board of the innovator. The aim of this course is to track the emergence of new ideas through social network analysis. Using concepts from sociology and psychology we will predict what people will be doing next, by analyzing their social interactions on three levels: (1) global – Internet/ blogs/Twitter/Facebook/Wikipedia, (2) organizational – e-mail/phone/chat, and (3) individual – body signals. We will measure "honest signals" of communication through tweets, bloglinks, Wikipedia entries, e-mail, chat, and phone archives, and body signals captured through cameras and other sensors. The COIN seminar is a demanding course combining skills from many interdisciplinary fields:
The COIN seminar is run in cooperation with other universities. |
