Invited Talk: Large-Scale Measurement of Human Behavior
Abstract: With the increasing availability of network and behavioral data -- from what we buy, to where we travel, to whom we know -- we are now able to observe and quantify social processes to a degree that would have seemed impossible just a decade ago. These new microscopes into human activity not only have substantive implications for economics, sociology, and psychology, but also raise challenging computational questions in large-scale data analysis. In this talk I'll present several illustrative examples from this emerging discipline of computational social science.

Sharad Goel is a Senior Research Scientist in the Microeconomics and Social Systems group at Yahoo! Research. He is interested in empirical and theoretical problems at the intersection of computer science and the social sciences, particularly questions motivated by sociology and economics.
Student Industry Workshop
The Student Industry Workshop will be located in CEPSR 414. The bus will leave from the Columbia gate at 115 St and Broadway (near the students dorms).
The Student Industry Workshop includes a tour in the morning to visit AT&T Global Network Operation Center, a lunch, and sessions in the afternoon which will be located in CEPSR 414. The bus for the tour will leave from the Columbia gate at 115 St and Broadway (near the students dorms). All these events can be attended together or separately.
The aim of the student industry workshop is primarily to inform students about how research is done in industry in relation with SIGMETRICS research topics. A list of speakers from leading research labs have accepted to present a brief talk on their work or more generally on the way their lab is bringing performance evaluation and modeling in relation with their company's technical leadership. The event will also provide an opportunity to meet and discuss informally about open internship, post-doc, and recruiting programs within this environment.
If one of these questions seem important for you
- How different are research environments in industry and university?
- How to be a successful researcher working in industry?
- How to find and make the most of an internship or post-doc in an industry lab?
- Which topics do industry leaders consider important today?
Then come join us at one of these events, and get to know more. The registration is free
