Andreas Weigend
Hi there,
Welcome back from Spring Break! Wanted to remind you that the first Social Data Lab meeting this quarter is TODAY at 5pm. The official part of the meeting starts at 5:30pm sharp, and end at 7pm. New location for this quarter is Gates 459.
Please bring your fresh ideas and invite a friend to check it out! There will also be some new students from this quarter’s CS341 “Mining Massive Data Sets” that I am co-teaching with Jeff Ullman (emeritus prof), Jure Leskovec (assistant prof), and Anand Rajaraman (who also was at Amazon and now heads up Walmart Labs).
And here is the preview for Spring quarter:

More to come…. we want and need the input of everyone in the lab. While I am happy to create another stimulating quarter with quite exciting opportunities, we need help with the wiki. Or if someone has a better idea, abandon the Google site and move to something that works better. Let’s discuss this in today’s meeting. Please arrive between 5 and 5:30 at Gates 459.
Thanks!
Andreas
