Geosocial analytics – Frontiers in analysing human-generated spatial data

Due to the wide-spread use of disruptive digital technologies like mobile phones, cities have transitioned from data-scarce to data-rich environments. A variety of large-scale human-generated datasets, wearable sensing technologies and geo-social networks have emerged that have the potential to help us in gaining a better understanding of geospatial and spatio-temporal processes. As a result, the field of GIScience is being reshaped and challenged to develop innovative and adequate methods for data analysis, knowledge generation and information visualisation. This talk outlines opportunities and innovative methods (including machine learning approaches) of data-driven analysis for human-generated data to generate new insights into geospatial social phenomena.
