Overview

This Computational Social Science research aligns to the core values of The Open University UK, and has contributed to urgent and vital topics, such as misinformation detection, online radicalisation and extremism, crisis management, and climate change.

Features

In the last few years, our research on Computational Social Science has attracted funding for five European projects (HERoS, Co-Inform, Trivalent, DecarboNet and COMRADES), and has led to the publication of more than 100 scientific articles.

Among the technologies developed, CREES (Crisis Event Extraction Service), an advanced Artificial Intelligent method that identifies crisis events in social media streams, is being used by various humanitarian organisations.
