The slate of keynote speakers at the 8th International Conference on Computational Social Science, held in July, was well represented by the Cornell Ann S. Bowers College of Computing and Information Science.
Three with Big Red connections – Rediet Abebe CS Ph.D. ’19, currently an assistant professor of computer science at University of California, Berkeley, Cristian Danescu-Niculescu-Mizil, associate professor of information science, and Lillian Lee, professor of computer science – were among the ten keynote speakers at IC2S2.
IC2S2 has emerged as the dominant conference at the intersection of social and computational science, bringing together researchers from around the world in economics, sociology, political science, psychology, cognitive science, management, computer science, statistics and the full range of natural and applied sciences committed to understanding the social world through large-scale data and computation.
