Measuring Self-Identity Through Social Media (STEM Speaker Series)

Event Description

What can you learn from over seven years’ worth of Twitter bios? Steven Skiena, Distinguished Teaching Professor of Computer Science and Director of SBU’s Institute for AI-Driven Discovery and Innovation, will tell us. 

Presenting work done with collaborators Jason Jones, Dakota Handzlik, and Xingzhi Guo, Dr. Skiena will discuss what the team learned about how people portray themselves on social media through their political identities and job status. He’ll also show us what you can predict about a person based on the their self-description.
