 This course gives you an overview of the current opportunities and the omnipresent reach of computational social science . The results are all around us , every day , reaching from the services provided by the world ’ s most valuable companies , over the hidden influence of governmental agencies , to the power of social and political movements . All of them study human behavior in order to shape it . In short , all of them do social science by computational means . In this course we answer three questions : I . Why Computational Social Science ( CSS ) now ? II . What does CSS cover ? III . What are examples of CSS ? In this last part , we take a bird ’ s - eye view on four main applications of CSS . First , Prof . Blumenstock from UC Berkeley discusses how we can gain insights by studying the massive digital footprint left behind today ’ s social interactions , especially to foster international development . Second , Prof . Shelton from UC Riverside introduces us to the world of machine learning , including the basic concepts behind this current driver of much of today ' s computational landscape . Prof . Fowler , from UC San Diego introduces us to the power of social networks , and finally , Prof . Smaldino , from UC Merced , explains how computer simulation help us to untangle some of the mysteries of social emergence .

 Computational Social Science 전문 분야 정보 
 Digital technology has not only revolutionized society , but also the way we can study it . Currently , this is taken advantage of by the most valuable companies in Silicon Valley , the most powerful governmental agencies , and the most influential social movements . What they have in common is that they use computational tools to understand , and ultimately influence human behavior and social dynamics . An increasing part of human interaction leaves a massive digital footprint behind . Studying it allows us to gain unprecedented insights into what society is and how it works , including its intricate social networks that had long been obscure . Computational power allows us to detect hidden patterns through analytical tools like machine learning and to natural language processing . Finally , computer simulations enable us to explore hypothetical situations that may not even exist in reality , but that we would like to exist : a better world . This specialization serves as a multidisciplinary , multi - perspective , and multi - method guide on how to better understand society and human behavior with modern research tools . This specialization gives you easy access to some of the exciting new possibilities of how to study society and human behavior . It is the first online specialization collectively taught by Professors from all 10 University of California campuses . ...
