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
