CUNY Data Mining Initiative
With the development of multiple computationally-intensive methods for analyzing “big data” – including “Data Mining,” “Machine Learning,” and “Sequence Analysis” techniques – the goal of this project is to investigate how Data Mining and related methods can be applied to research in the social sciences. By bringing together an existing interdisciplinary team of researchers from computer science, applied statistics, sociology, and education, this project seeks to develop new strategies for employing these methods in educational and other social science research. The CUNY Data Mining Initiative is funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation.
