How Alternative Data is Shaping Research Today

Hosted by Dewey, this seminar brings together top scientists in computational and social sciences for a panel discussion and research presentations on how academic researchers source and evaluate data today. Panelists will answer:

‍

• How do you first approach a new question, project, or problem? How has that shifted over time?
• How do you go about measuring concepts or behaviors that are intrinsically difficult to measure?
• How do you evaluate a new data source? What are your top considerations?
• What challenges are consistent when working with alternative data?
