Be
sure to submit your abstract
to BigSurv18!
Be
a part of the first
international conference on
Big Data Meets Survey
Science (BigSurv18)
organized by the European
Survey Research Association
on October 25 -27 in
Barcelona, Spain, and
submit
your abstract by
February 28th,
2018!
BigSurv18 is interested in
state-of-the-art research at
the intersection of (1)
computer and data science
and (2) social science and
how to combine approaches
from these disciplines to
collect, process, and
analyze data to identify and
overcome academic divides
and make unified “Big Survey
Data” population inference a
reality. We invite
presenters from the various
disciplines and from around
the world to submit an
abstract for presentation at
the conference to explore
important issues pertaining
to the combination of “big
data” and survey data and
their use in the social and
data sciences. Relevant
topics include, for example:
-
using
big data sources—such as
data from social networks,
traditional business
systems, and the Internet of
Things—in statistics
production
-
the
insights afforded by data
science and machine learning
and how they can support and
complement traditional
statistical analyses
-
designing
of interfaces, virtual
agents, and computational
systems for interactive data
collection
-
distributed
infrastructures of data
collection
-
practical
applications for combining
survey and big data sources
to improve the quality of
statistics production
-
considering
the effects of sampling of
individuals within
populations vs. the
implications of “N=all”
-
applying
the Total Survey Error
paradigm to adopting a total
statistical uncertainty
framework that will be
needed to encompass the new
quality issues associated
with big data: Total Error
To
accommodate differences in
publication objectives and
cultures across the
disciplines papers will be
eligible for consideration in
one of two publication
outlets:
-
An
edited conference
volume/monograph to be
published by John Wiley
& Sons in 2019.
-
A
peer-reviewed special issue
of
Social
Science Computer Review
quickly following the
conference.
