Predicting economic activities using social media

Abstract

The underlying research project explores the possibilities of predicting economic activities using social media data. We are at the early stage of the project and provisioning computing facilities that are stable and scalable.

Intellectual Merit

Promote the use of social media data as well as the tools for analysis in management research.

Broader Impact

We would consider setting up a small Hadoop cluster in our institution. We would also consider opening a big data analytic course using FutureGrid.

Use of FutureGrid

We will need to manage and analyze data frequently once the platform and software are setup.

Scale Of Use

4-8 nodes;
2-4 days per week;
around 30 weeks
