Project Description:
---------------------------------
The objective of this project is to develop a prototype system for successfully alerting social, economic, and political events. A significant amount of information to be processed will be spatio-temporal overlays of data, e.g., twitter feeds, economic activities, and infection spreads. The GRA’s focus will be on statistical modeling, event prediction, and anomaly detection. Major techniques to be utilized include Gaussian processes, spatiotemporal linear dynamic systems, Bayesian hierarchical modeling, and topic modeling.
