Welcome!
In the Human-Centered Computing Lab at the Technical University of Munich, we leverage large-scale data to discover theories and patterns of societal behavior. We work on methods from network analysis, natural language processing, machine learning and AI, and integrate them with theories from the social sciences and humanities. Our interdisciplinary and mixed-methods research advances knowledge and discovery about socio-technical systems and responsible computing. Our work considers social contexts and ethical concerns for data analysis.
This group is led by Jana Diesner, Ph.D. Prior to joining TUM, Jana spent 12 wonderful years as a professor of Information Science, Informatics, and Computer Science at the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign.
