"Inferring individual-level characteristics from digital traces: Issues and recommendations" Deen Freelon is an associate professor in the Communication Studies division. He has two major areas of expertise: 1) political expression through digital media, and 2) the use of code and computational methods to extract, preprocess, and analyze very large digital datasets. Freelon has authored or co-authored over 30 journal articles, book chapters, and public reports, in addition to co-editing one scholarly book. He has served as co-principal investigator on grants from the Spencer Foundation and the US Institute of Peace thus far. He is the creator of ReCal, an online intercoder reliability application that has been used by thousands of researchers around the world; and TSM, a network analysis module for the Python programming language. The Michigan Institute for Data Science Annual Symposium, “Big Data: Advancing Science, Changing the World”, will feature preeminent data scientists from around the world, and will highlight U-M researchers whose work is on the leading edge of innovation and discovery in data-intensive science. http://midas.umich.edu/
