Mike led this year's crosscutting symposium at APS, titled Big Data: Understanding Patterns of Human Behavior. Other speakers included Tanzeem Choudhury (Cornell), Brian D'Onofrio (Indiana), Tal Yarkoni (UT Austin), and Susan Dumais (Microsoft Research). “Each little piece of data is a trace of human behavior and offers us a potential clue to understanding basic psychological principles,” said Jones. “But we have to be able to put all those pieces together correctly to better understand the basic psychological principles that generated them.” |
