Glossary
- Computational Social Science:
-
Also known as Computational sociology, it studies and infers social phenomena by analyzing them with a variety of computational approaches that make use of large-scale datasets of sensed human behavior
- COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology):
-
Europe's longest-running inter- governmental framework for science and technology cooperation. COST is a unique program in the European Research Area (ERA) successfully funding scientific collaboration networks (i.e., COST Actions) for over 40 years, bringing together communities of researchers, allowing innovative ideas to flourish, and adapting to evolving societal and scientific challenges
- Data Mining:
-
Set of techniques that are able to discover patterns from a large dataset
