He will illustrate the basic research process by discussing several projects in detail: Alan\u0027s work on word count analysis; Burke\u0027s work on social wellbeing; and Chang\u0027s work in inferring ethnicity. He will also give a brief overview of the Data Team\u0027s research environment (i.e., talk about the computer systems Facebook uses to conduct research).\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003EBio:\u0026nbsp;Adam Kramer received a BS and MS in Logic and Computation from Carnegie Mellon University where he studied computational social science (parsing raw weblogs in order to better understand behavior in an online course on causal inference). Dr. Kramer spent a year working for Susan Fussell and Sara Kiesler at CMU\u0027s Human Computer Interaction Institute and went to the University of Oregon where he studied decision-making, which lead to his Ph.D. in Social Psychology. He continued HCI research over a series of summer internships at Google (studying Blogger) and Facebook (studying online social interaction). Dr. Kramer has been a full-time Data Scientist at Facebook since July 2010.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EKramer discusses research by the Facebook Data Team.\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Adam Kramer of Facebook discusses research by the Facebook Data Team."}],"uid":"27197","created_gmt":"2011-03-15 13:48:26","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 01:54:30","author":"Renata Le Dantec","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2011-03-18T13:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2011-03-18T14:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2011-03-18T14:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2011-03-18 17:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2011-03-18 18:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2011-03-18 18:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":["free_food"],"groups":[{"id":"1299","name":"GVU Center"},{"id":"47223","name":"College of Computing"},{"id":"50876","name":"School of Interactive Computing"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"4096","name":"brown bag"},{"id":"1946","name":"GVU"},{"id":"10621","name":"hcc"},{"id":"8494","name":"HCI"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
