Abstract/Description
Every day we communicate with each other, shop, and travel using services that collect enormous amounts of data about our opinions, moods, preferences, and desires. In turn, these services, like Facebook, Amazon, and Uber, use algorithms on that mass of data to predict what we will want to see and do and buy. How can we understand those algorithms, hidden behind the walls of these internet giants? Joining us for Episode 8 is Alan Mislove, an Associate Professor of Computer Science at Northeastern University, who has used clever methods to analyze how the big internet companies work.
