Editor's Notes

  1. Good afternoon! Good to be back in Daegu. My name is xxxxx. Some of you may know me from previous DISC. I am currently a postdoc at Northeastern U in Boston and work for a big data lab. I am representing Miao Feng who is a researcher affiliated with the HMC at UIC. HMC is a lab dedicated to health research and some key research questions under investigation include how the shifting media landscape change public attitude over smoking. This project you are seeing here is one of such investigation tasked by HMC. If you are interested in HMC, there is a mention of HMC's work in a recent Ted Talk video by Susan Etlinger, titled "What do we do with all this big data?"
