Mathematical Underpinnings of Analytics: Theory and Applications
Description | Methods for dealing with large scale data from social media platforms such as Twiitter are developed that wren directly relevant to the digital marketing industry. These covered a wide range of issues including identifying influences and ,easier the cohesive quality of communities associated with brands. We as developed ideas about spikes in data. |
Exploitation Route | These are being take n forward by companies such as Bloom and have help me develop relationships with global companies such as WPP and Emirates. It also influenced new work on social networks for defence and security. Network and P2P networks in particular will become a founding pillar of work at the Alan Turing Institute. The PDRA (JA Ward ) was appointed to a FT lectureship at Leeds directly as a result of his fine work on this project. Much of the resrearch and thinking was summarised in my reverent book (Mathematical Underpinnings of Analytics , OUP, 2015, see outputs) and this has become the text for courses on modern analytics at various universities. |

Description | The story is told in a video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccTRtZ28orY The analysis provided on this grant means that companies can analyse Twitter and social media data. This has led to the employment of one post graduate and two graduates within the company (Bloom at Leeds). This company now offers new products and services build on analytics via methods developed on this project. This has led to joint presentations at industry conferences. This has received considerable attention in the marketing sector (featured in the DRUM). Also featured twice in SIAM news. New products and services created, and analysts employed, based on project published methods. Beneficiaries: Company, new hires, large clients interested in digital marketing, the advertising sector Contribution Method: Fundamental developments of new products. Joint presentations at industry events |
