SoBigData - Towards a European Laboratory on Big Data Analytics and Social Mining: Bootstrap workshop
Il 18/07/2013 ore 10.00 - 17.30
Auditorium Area della Ricerca di Pisa - Via G. Moruzzi, 1 - 56124, Pisa
The big data originating from the digital breadcrumbs of human activities, sensed as a by-product of the ICT systems that we use everyday, record the multiple dimensions of social life. We need to set the ground for a science and technology of social mining – the process to transform the big data into high level social knowledge – which offers us unprecedented opportunities for understanding and managing the complexity of the global interconnected society we inhabit today. Three pillars support this vision:
- Social sensing, aimed at better methods for harvesting the big data from the techno-social ecosystem.
- Social mining, aimed at discovering patterns and models of human behavior across the various social dimensions.
- Trust-based, privacy-aware digital ecosystem, aimed at creating a new deal around the questions of privacy and data ownership, empowering everyone with control and transparency on own personal data and knowledge.
Social mining has the potential to provide a privacy-respectful social microscope, or socioscope, needed to observe the hidden mechanisms of socio-economic complexity. Around these scientific challenges a critical mass of multi-disciplinary scientists is teaming up, based on their pioneering work on the various facets of social mining, as well as big data and tools and systems and networks of international and interdisciplinary collaborators – academia, research and industry. There is a fertile ground for further aggregation of researchers and stakeholders, towards the creation of a European Laboratory on Big Data Analytics and Social Mining, capable of boosting research and innovation in the deployment of big data analytics, social mining and privacy/trust technologies to face global challenges.
We invite you to be part of this one-day workshop, entirely devoted to discuss the opportunity of big data analytics and social mining from different perspectives, including that of policy makers, public administration, European commission, industry, official statistics, and research. The agenda of the workshop includes presentations from leading scientists in big data analytics and social mining, short presentations of case studies and early experiences, and panel discussions across the different stakeholders.
