Social Media – A Remote Sensor Network

Christopher Homan, Principal Investigator

Dr. Homan, an associate professor in Computer Science and a PHT180 leadership team member, is creating a learning framework to detect job-related tweets from individual and business accounts. The framework will be supervised using crowdsourcing feedback and local knowledge. Using data-driven ethnography, the project will examine discourse about work by fusing language-based analysis with temporal, geospatial, and labor statistics information.
