The Livehoods Project, part of our Open Data Series

Presented by Justin Cranshaw and Dr. Norman Sadeh, Carnegie Mellon School of Computer Science

The Livehoods Project introduces a new methodology for studying the dynamics, structure, and character of a city on a large scale using social media (tweets and check-ins) and machine learning. Our presenters are interested in exploring the practical applications of their data in a community context, which may hold particular value for those working in community development, business district management, and market research.
