Introduction
The group seeks to address the challenges associated with the vast quantities of new and heterogeneous data that are increasingly becoming available through two primary themes: developing foundational theories of human behaviour at diverse social and temporal scales; and identifying methodological challenges and solutions to enable social data science to deliver robust and credible results in key application domains.
Aims
This interest group in social data science aims to create a critical mass of social scientists, data scientists and social data scientists, and to build relationships with data infrastructure and training investments and policy makers through regular meetings involving academic, commercial, NGO, and government stakeholders.
