CSIT6000K: Social Networks and Social Computing: A Data Science Perspective (postgraduate level)

COMP4641:  Social Information Network Analysis and Engineering (undergraduate level)
Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Spring 2021 and Spring 2022)
Role: Head TA

Course Description: This course provides an introduction to the analysis and engineering of social information networks. It covers both mathematical and programming skills to analyze the structures and dynamics of typical social information networks (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, and MSN). Our goal is to provide students with a comprehensive overview of the state of the art in social and information networks. Topics include (but are not limited to) small-world phenomena, contagion, tipping and influence in networks, models of network formation and evolution, the web graph and Page Rank, social graphs and community detection, measuring centrality, greedy routing and navigations in networks, user evaluation and strategic behavior, social engineering, recommender systems, mobile social networks, and the impact of social factors in the evolution of computer systems.
