The Computational Social Listening Lab at the University of Pennsylvania.

Computational Social Listening Lab

The Computational Social Listening Lab develops machine learning and NLP methods to measure health behaviors, disparities, and outcomes across cultures and communities. We use large-scale digital data – social media, electronic health records, online reviews, and smartphone interactions – to uncover insights that improve health outcomes and reduce health disparities.
