[GeoIT.org] Invitation to a RAM Colloquium with Prof. Dr Bernd Resch

[Rene Westerholt]

Dear Colleagues,

It is my pleasure to invite you to the next talk in this term's RAM 
Colloquium Series:


      Geosocial analytics – Frontiers in analysing human-generated
      spatial data


          Prof. Dr Bernd Resch (University of Salzburg); Friday, 4
          December, 11 am CET / 10 am GMT, virtual event

Registration is possible via the following Google Form (the link to the 
Zoom session will be shared with all registered participants closer to 
the event): https://forms.gle/hUP2nBcJdsbT3S8y7

The RAM Colloquium is a forum for discussing the latest research in the 
field of geospatial information science. Invited speakers will report on 
their recent and ongoing work and provide an outlook on major lines and 
challenges ahead in their respective fields. This time, Prof. Dr Bernd 
Resch from the University of Salzburg will deliver a talk entitled 
"Geosocial analytics – Frontiers in analysing human-generated spatial 
data". You will find the abstract below and attached. Do not hesitate to 
forward this message and the attached PDF invitation to your PhD 
students, colleagues, and anybody who might be interested in the talk 
and discussion.

We look forward to lively participation and discussion!
René Westerholt and the RAM team


*Abstract:*

Due to the wide-spread use of disruptive digital technologies like 
mobile phones, cities have transitioned from data-scarce to data-rich 
environments. A variety of large-scale human-generated datasets, 
wearable sensing technologies and geo-social networks have emerged that 
have the potential to help us in gaining a better understanding of 
geospatial and spatio-temporal processes. As a result, the field of 
GIScience is being reshaped and challenged to develop innovative and 
adequate methods for data analysis, knowledge generation and information 
visualisation. This talk outlines opportunities and innovative methods 
(including machine learning approaches) of data-driven analysis for 
human-generated data to generate new insights into geospatial social 
phenomena.
