講座內(nèi)容：
The Internet and web have revolutionized the way we interact with each other and the world around us. Despite the increasing value of Cyberspace and the huge amount of data generated by online activities, individual and organizational behaviors in the offline physical world still have significant business and societal implications. This talk will introduce my research on mining and integrating data from both online and offline sources to gain insights into such behaviors. I will cover projects on predicting reciprocal links in online social networks, identifying health outcomes from online health communities, and analyzing the role of person-organization fit in hiring decisions.
