Turning Concepts Into Networks

Facilitator: Cory Cox
Date & Time & Place:' Monday, 14 Dec at 9:30pm in 2nd or 1st floor conference room - wherever internet is best.
Content: I will demonstrate what we do - at my startup - to help firms improve collaboration and communication. The goal is to show how you can build graphs/networks from purposively collected sociometric data (surveys for example) to measure concepts of interest. Goal is to give you a real world example and then talk about your own work to see how different approaches to data collection / graph construction can be used in your research. I am not the expert, just a facilitator... but together we can share ideas and generate some creative avenues for you to get started.' I also have a cloud solution for data collection and simple analysis that I would be happy to contribute to any collaborations anyone would like to do together. .
Motivation: Defining the network(s) and boundaries is difficult. And specifying exactly what a link between two nodes encodes about interactions or relations is not always intuitive.
Prerequisite: You are here... that's enough :)
Slides: I will post soon or after.
Interested Participants: Sagar, Chakresh, Bhumika, Rajesh, Aditya, Snehal,Srashti
