Back CORE Lab SNA & Social Media Fusion Curriculum for MISG (A)
Fiscal Year | 2017 |
Division | Graduate School of Operational & Information Sciences |
Department | Defense Analysis |
Investigator(s) | Everton, Sean F. |
Sponsor | U.S. Special Operations Command (Joint) |
Summary | This curriculum has two basic objectives. The first objective is for USSOCOM participants to develop an understanding of basic SNA theory and techniques. The second is to provide hands-on experience using real world social media data and applying SNA methodology using specialized software. Social media data is increasingly gaining attention within intelligence, defense, and law enforcement agencies as a potential source of timely and easily-accessible information from on-the-ground sources. This training provides hands-on experience using a series of labs and practical exercises on the software package Gephi to provide a method for managing and making sense of the social media “big data” problem. It is highly encouraged for students to bring with them a real-world problem or data set they are currently working so that they may apply this process to a context they know well. |
