Description

Computational Social Science Specialization is a course in social computational science. Digital technology has not only changed society, it has changed the way we look at it. The rise of human communication is leaving a vast digital footprint. Examining it allows us to gain a unique insight into what society is and how it works, including complex social networks that have long been obscure. Computer computing power allows us to identify hidden patterns with the help of statistical tools such as machine learning.

What you will learn in the Computational Social Science Specialization course series:
