The Big Data analytics may have a potential high impact and may generate enormous value to society. It can create new opportunities to understand complex aspects, such as mobility behaviors, economic and financial crises, the spread of epidemics, the diffusion of opinions and so on.
Social mining aimed at discovering patterns and models of human behavior across the various social dimensions. It is aimed at extracting multi-dimensional patterns and models from multi-dimensional networking data.
In the era of Big Data the opportunities of discovering knowledge from social big data increase with the risk of privacy violation: during knowledge discovery, the risk is the uncontrolled intrusion into the personal data of the data subjects.
SoBigData.it Lab aims to perform advanced research and analyses on the emerging challenges posed by big data, namely the digital breadcrumbs of human activities continually sensed by the ICT systems that people use.
The partners of SoBigData.it are also leading the European Project SoBigData.eu in order to integrate various existing european Research Infrastructures operating on Big Data and Social Mining.
