Description
The CASOS Summer Institute is a weeklong workshop that provides intense hands-on introduction to network analysis and visualization from a combined social-network, network-science, link-analysis and dynamic network analysis perspective as well as gives in-depth instruction on how to use tools for analysis like ORA, Construct, Bothunter and Netmapper. Each participant will be given trial version of software for use during the training and offered discounts for professional versions of the software. CASOS SI will be held June 13-19th and is co-located at Carnegie Mellon University with IDeaS SI.
Attendees will learn to:
- extract networks from texts, JSON files (e.g., news and tweets), or spreadsheets;
- analyze and visualize networks using one-mode, two-mode, and n-mode metrics;
- identify groups and clusters;
- examine networks spatially;
- examine overtime networks and explore dynamic aspects of these networks;
- and simulate change in networks and the diffusion/dispersion of information and beliefs through networks.
We are offering fellowships to students to defray the cost of registration for this year's institute.
