    -=- Cancelled! Please note that this Research Seminar event is cancelled due to unforeseeable reasons. Contact Professor Xiao Ma if you have any questions -=- The fast penetration of smart mobile and sensor technologies, combined with the wide adoption of location services, has produced a vast volume of atomic, behavior-rich mobile consumer location data. Such “location big data” have led to the pervasive digitization of individual behavior at a very fine-grained level. This information provides us with a new lens through which we can better monitor, understand, evaluate, and optimize the individual decisions and policy making to improve economic welfare. This talk presents some recent studies in which we apply novel machine learning, spatial-temporal data mining, econometrics and randomized experimental methods to discern the socio-economic value and tradeoffs in learning from location data.
