What's the team

What’s the data you’ll work with?

We will work with a set of 500 Twitter users and all their friends. Two users are defined as friends if they follow each other. The set of core users are chosen to be those who have sent out at least N tweets with location information during the past P days.

What’s the task or tasks?

Through our analysis, we would like to answer the following research questions:

  • If one user sends out his/her location information actively, what can we infer about his/her friends' location behavior?
  • What is most "active location user"'s motivation for posting their location information?
  • What can we infer from a user's most frequent location?
  • ...

How will you evaluate? (qualitative or quantitatively?)

  •  ?

What are the key technical challenges, and what do you hope to learn?

  • It's probably gonna take some time to figure out how to get the 500 "active location users"
