Non Linear Time Series Analysis of Agricultural Data
Description of project: The prices of agricultural items fluctuate seasonally, as well as for reasons not immediately obvious. Linear methods of analysis like regression, etc. obviously don't do very well In prediction. Maybe we can try out non linear time series analysis to see if we get something.

Journalism on Social Media
Description of project: It will be interesting to reconstruct political discourse networks from Twitter to see where journalists lie on it. The reason I think this is important is that for a country as big as India the media cannot rely on traditional means to get hold of newsworthy stories. As the media runs out of funds, they will increasingly rely on social media to get hold of stories. Of course, the kind of stories you encounter on twitter depends a lot on who you follow and where in particular you lie in the network.
