About
The mininglabs project
From the first formal definition of Information by C.E. Shannon to the advent of the internet era, data has become the DNA of human activity. The Internet at large (web, email, instant messaging, peer-to-peer, binaries news etc.) is now the platform for storing and exchanging the world’s information and the publicly accessible part of that information is growing every day.
As computer scientists and statisticians, we think that applying well-designed statistical frameworks to publicly available data can yield insights into underlying patterns shaping observations from real and virtual worlds. Concrete examples of this might be: studying online communities such as myspace or facebook, analysing movies diffusion by mining the various peer-to-peer channels etc.
The mininglabs website will be the publishing platform of our investigations.
