![]() Social Sensing to Model the Evolution of Opinions This is my PhD dissertation project. The goal is model the adoption of various social behaviors using mobile phone sensor datasets. For this project we have collected one year's worth of interaction data from an MIT dorm-- which includes over 65,000 call logs, 3.5 million proximity scans and 2.5 million location scans. Recent papers discuss the spread of political opinions within this community. Currently upcoming analysis looks at the propagation of flu and social relationships. You can find more information here. |

More information about this project is available here. |

The Jerk-o-Meter -- Real Time Speech feature Analysis (past) A phone / PDA application that did real-time speech feature analysis.

| How to Make Almost Anything -- Class Notes (past) Neil Gershenfeld's legendary course at the Media Lab-- I think this should be mandatory for all MLers. My class notes for reference available here, and more details about setting up your own FabLab here. |
