Use of Text Mining and Visualization to Infer Work Dynamics from Organizational Records
Dr. Maria Esteva will discuss how her research is able to analyze relationships between staff members and the functions that they represented in a way that goes beyond what is portrayed in an organizational chart.
Esteva will share techniques and demonstrate how the use of advanced computing technologies, information visualization, make it possible to observe changes in work-dynamics over time corresponding to changes in the projects, management directions, and staff members leaving and entering the organization.
Join us for this engaging and informative talk and learn how advanced computing technologies are working to revolutionize how relationships are analyzed in the 21st century.
