Introduction
I am in incoming student into the new CS Masters program. Broadly, I am interested in Machine Learning and have quite recently developed a liking for Social Media Analysis due to a course in Web Mining and Information Retrieval I pursued under the guidance of Prof. Soumen Chakrabarti at IIT Bombay.
Why this course
I wish to understand in more depth how Social Media work. Natural Language parsing seems quite a difficult problem for machines to solve and I wish to get a knowledge of some existing basic methods / algorithms to do so. I've also taken up 05-820 Social Web, a course offered by HCI and am hoping that both of them complement each other well to further my understanding of the subject.
Project
Not much idea but I would love to pursue something related to Topic Modeling. I had just been introduced to the topic during around the time my internship at Yahoo! Research ended and did not get time after that to explore more. Would love to do that.
