Establishment of New Research Center

C2S2

C2S2 was set up at IIITH under the headship of Prof. Ponnurangam Kumarguru. It pursues interdisciplinary research at the intersection of Computer Science and Social Science. It wishes to solve real-world problems and create a positive impact in the community through integration of various fields. It also seeks to spread awareness about CSS research in India. Under C2S2, a Precog Research Lab is formed with activities that include a group of researchers who study, analyze, and build different aspects of social systems (e.g. social web systems like Twitter, Facebook), including their security and privacy. By understanding and measuring complex networks, we try and build solutions for social good. Our work primarily derives from Data Science, Computational Social Science, Social Computing, Machine Learning, and Natural Language Processing.
