Research interests
Over 70% of the global population is expected to live in big cities by the next 30 years. At the same time, the use of social media is growing at tremendous rates. Motivated by these basic facts, Adam's work focuses on opinion mining of social media users, as an attempt to model and predict urban-related indices (e.g., elections, wellbeing, etc.). The effective modelling of such domains is a challenging and important task, as it can provide additional "sensors" for informing citizens and policy makers on the current state of an urban environment, but also on possible consequences of their actions.
