On May 2nd, Prof Euro Beinat will be speaking on ‘Data Science and Predictive Analytics’, exploring the emerging world of collective sensing, how new data streams such as social media or digital transactions provide new sources to understand our collective behavior and make complex systems such as cities more transparent.
Prof Beinat is professor at Z_GIS, and leads research on Data Analytics and Collective Sensing within the PhD School for GIScience at the University of Salzburg. He coined the term “Collective Sensing” for describing the growing science and practice of measuring and predicting the dynamics of large complex systems, such as cities, based on aggregating anonymous digital breadcrumbs left by all of us during daily personal or business activities (for links to current research, see www.collectivesensing.org).
