| Abstract | The web has evolved from a technology platform to a social milieu where factual, opinion and behavior data interleave. A number of social applications are being built to analyze and extract value from this data, encouraging us to adopt a data-driven approach to research. I will provide different formulations of social data exploration and describe recent work on extracting user segments on the social Web. More specifically, I will talk about extracting and exploring user segments on collaborative rating sites. No prior knowledge of this area is required. |
| Participation | The seminar will be presented in English. No charge to participate and no reservation is needed. Participation in the discussion is optional. |
