Social Media Seminar Series with Telecommunication, Information Studies, and Media
(Conferences / Seminars / Lectures)
Lada Adamic gives a Seminar titled "I rate you. You rate me. Should we do so publicly?
She is an expert in social network analysis, and has developed new techniques for network analysis and applied them to many topics including knowledge sharing networks, Q&A sites, questions about information diffusion, motivations and incentives for participation, and political blogs.
Lada A. Adamic is an associate professor in the School of Information at the University of Michigan. She is also affiliated with the Center for the Study of Complex Systems and EECS. Her research interests center on information dynamics in networks: how information diffuses, how it can be found, and how it influences the evolution of a network's structure. She worked previously in Hewlett-Packard's Information Dynamics Lab. Her projects have included identifying expertise in online question and answer forums, studying the dynamics of viral marketing, and characterizing the structure in blogs and other online communities.
