Social sensing games
We introduce Social Sensing Games (SSGs), a new method for collecting data about social relationships, and present an algorithm that can be used to efficiently infer information from the output of the games. The main purpose of this new method is to use people's online interactions to learn about …

Social sensing and its display
… proposes a public interface that functions as a social catalyst in public spaces. Like a smart mirror, it intends to reflect the social identity of the environment and increase sensibility towards the place and among others in the environment by highlighting a particular aspect of it. Here, our …

On information filtering in social sensing
… of Sensor Networks, people envisioned a global sensing platform with millions of sensors deployed globally. The platform has finally become real recently with the advent of multiple online social network services where humans act as sensors and the social networks act as sensor networks, a …

Data extrapolation in social sensing for disaster response
"This thesis complements the large body of social sensing literature by developing means for augmenting sensing data with inference results that ""fill-in"" missing pieces. Unlike trend-extrapolation methods, we focus on prediction in disaster scenarios where disruptive trend changes occur. A set …

Mining social sensing data: Representation, modeling, and applications
"Social sensing refers to using humans as ""sensors"" to collect information about external physical events, such as disasters, protests, and traffic. This is motivated by the observations that today millions of people often share their observations in the physical world online via social media …

Exploitation of information propagation patterns in social sensing
Online social media presents new opportunity for sensing the physical world. The sensors are essentially human, who share information in the broadcast social media. Such human sensors impose challenges like influence, bias, polarization, and data overload, unseen in the traditional sensor network. …

On quantifying the quality of information in social sensing
… quantifying the Quality of Information (QoI) in social sensing. We refer social sensing to the sensing applications where humans play a critical role in the sensing or data collection process. Social sensing has emerged as a new paradigm for sensory data collection, which is motivated by the …

Efficient data to decision pipelines for embedded and social sensing
… data to decision pipelines for embedded and social sensing efficient. Due to the pervasive presence of wired sensors, wireless sensors, and mobile devices, the amount of data about the physical world (environmental measurements, traffic, etc.) and human societies (news, trends, conversations, …

Measuring and Enhancing the Resilience of Interdependent Power Systems, Emergency Services, and Social Communities
… such as power systems and emergency services and social networks is critical for building a resilient community. As a result, we require metrics that account for both the social and infrastructure aspects of the community. While the literature on critical infrastructures such as power systems …
