Big data : le diagnostic psychologique par les réseaux sociaux

Des chercheurs de l’Université Johns-Hopkins répondent par l’affirmative. Après avoir exploité des tweets pour repérer des cas de grippe en 2013, ils ont amélioré leur algorithme pour étudier les publications de twittos ayant déclaré leur maladie… et pour décortiquer les éléments de langage liés à ces troubles. Leurs techniques de « data mining » explorent des mots et des expressions bien particuliers pour les rattacher à des comportements. Par exemple, « Je ne veux pas sortir du lit » en relation avec l’anxiété ou l’insomnie. L’examen de 8 milliards de tweets leur a permis de créer une large base de connaissance allant des troubles affectifs au stress post-traumatique. Les données nous rendent-elles plus responsables ?

Held at the Galt House hotel, this year's conference offered a great mix of all things remote sensing over a three-day agenda.

It was also co-located with a Joint Agency for Commercial Imagery Evaluation(JACIE) conference, which created a nice atmosphere where some of the best and brightest minds from science and academia could meet. Eyes in the Skies One of the most apparent trends I noticed at this show was the amount of exhibitors that had something to do with Unmanned Aerial Systems,or UAS. With the pending approval for UAS to fly commercially, many folks are beginning to offer services surrounding these sensors. Find Data.

The activities of cognitive training enthusiasts give insight into the effects of lifestyle choices and age on the brain’s performance. FLICKR, HEY PAUL STUDIOSScientists from California’s Lumos Labs, maker of Web-based brain training games, are gathering data from online users to make connections between cognitive performance, lifestyle choices, and aging, according to a paper published last week (June 20) in Frontiers in Human Neuroscience.

For tasks testing memory and arithmetic skills—each completed by around 127,000 to 162,000 users who took a lifestyle survey—the researchers found that high performance correlated with drinking one or two alcoholic beverages per day and sleeping around 7 hours a night.
