The Truth Behind the Tweets

Details

A recent study by the MIT Media Lab confirmed that lies on Twitter traveled “farther, faster, deeper, and more broadly than the truth in all categories of information.” How can technology ensure the integrity of future elections?
Dr. Vishnu S. Pendyala, Technical Leader, Cisco Systems Inc., San Jose, California, USA is the author of The Veracity of Big Data: Machine Learning and Other Approaches to Verifying Truthfulness. He will use his talk to explore solutions from Math and Machine Learning to address the problem of fake news and cognitive hacking on Twitter. Suitable for 12th graders and older.
