Over one billion people engage their friends via Facebook. Twitter publishes half a billion tweets each day. In this online course, you will use Python to extract valuable signals from these huge, chaotic datasets to explain collective behavior and create computational knowledge bases.
Using Python, you will analyze user-generated content such as movie ratings, online comments, status updates, and friendship networks. You will learn algorithms from the fields of social network analysis, text analysis, and recommender systems. Finally, you will gain experience with pragmatic workflows that leverage social APIs to reveal human insights in your own projects.
