When virtual networks meet physical networks: perils of data mining for real-time transport information
When virtual networks meet physical networks: perils of data mining for real-time transport information
Real time monitoring of the state of a transport system has been a worldwide research topic since long before the current era of social-media and big-data began to arrive. The breadth of overlapping data sources and depth of information now available (both deliberately and accidentally) about our everyday travel behaviour however creates a range of new technical and ethical challenges. This talk therefore seeks to explore some of the perils of data mining for real time transport information, including the difficulties of identifying physical locations from textual descriptions in social media; the misinterpretation of automated tracking data; and the awkward question of should we worry about our location being constantly known ?

Abstract
Real time monitoring of the state of a transport system has been a worldwide research topic since long before the current era of social-media and big-data began to arrive. The breadth of overlapping data sources and depth of information now available (both deliberately and accidentally) about our everyday travel behaviour however creates a range of new technical and ethical challenges. This talk therefore seeks to explore some of the perils of data mining for real time transport information, including the difficulties of identifying physical locations from textual descriptions in social media; the misinterpretation of automated tracking data; and the awkward question of should we worry about our location being constantly known ?
