Research Projects

• An opportunity for hands-on experience with
  current research
• Several team projects, organized into two topics
• Twitter-Crimes
• Tracking Twitter Crime Reports
• Placing it on maps
• Spatio-Temporal Analysis When, Where, What is
  happening?
• Other Events of interests (disasters?) other
  types of Analysis and Visualization?
• Experts Search
• Allow non experts to identify experts on a given
  topic
• Computer Science Machine Learning Computer
  Architecture Computer Graphics.
• Oil Spills?
