With apologies for cross-posting, please share widely and feel free to
message me directly with questions.

We are hosting a workshop at Boston University this January 11-13, 2017 on
social media analysis called "Making Social Media Matter: How to Analyze,
Visualize & Interpret Social Networks in 3 Days"

Please let me know any questions and share widely with colleagues,
students, or professionals that might be interested to attend.

In summary, the tools demonstrated in this workshop for network analysis,
geolocation, and machine learning are at the forefront of social media
research and will equip attendees — even those with no computational
training — with expert understanding of how to collect, analyze, visualize,
and interpret social media data for internal and public use.

In addition to covering the theoretical bases of working with and modeling
big data, the training in this workshop will include access and use of
leading data platforms, such as the Boston University Twitter Collection
and Analysis Toolkit (BU-TCAT), Gephi, Discovertext, and R.

Media professionals, researchers, students, and anyone wanting to make
sense of social media will benefit from attending this workshop. All
participants that successfully complete this workshop will:

• Earn a Certificate in Social Media Analysis: Principals and Practices for
Big Data from Boston University.

• Gain access to exclusive data analysis tools that can collect and analyze
millions of units of social media content.

• Go beyond simple analytic dashboards and dive deep into data to take
their analytic skills to the next level.

Again, please let me know any questions and share widely with colleagues,
students, or professionals that might be interested to attend.  Space is
limited, and registration is open at https://www.bu.edu/com/soci

Thanks much,

Jacob
