Cutting Edge Lecture in Science: Dimensions of Place - Linking people through place and vice versa.
By聽Grant McKenzie聽(Dept. Geography, 捆绑SM社区)
With the increased availability of large, user-generated datasets, it has becoming increasingly apparent that the value of "big data" lies not necessarily in its size, but in its heterogeneity. In this talk, I highlight the value of this heterogeneity through the development of computational, data-driven models of human behavior, taking a multi-dimensional approach to investigating "place" and the activities people carry out in these places.
