7. 7 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

8. 8 Your Job You can gain a lot from this program A lot of people already have – success stories from earlier DSSIs  Jessica Bell (Jackson State) Currently at Oak Ridge National Laboratory Computational Biology and Bioinformatics  Tim Weninger (Kansas State) Currently a Ph.D Student at UIUC, Data Mining DSSI 2010 RA  Michael Paul (UIUC) Later a research programmer at UIUC Currently a Ph.D student at Johns Hopkins, Natural Language Processing Be Involved Take Initiatives Give us feedback
