Computational Social Science

Computational Social Science is an interdisciplinary field that uses computer-based methods to analyze social phenomena. It combines techniques from data science, statistics, and social sciences to study human behavior, social interactions, and trends in society. Researchers gather large datasets from sources like social media, surveys, and public records, and then apply algorithms and models to uncover patterns, make predictions, and understand complex social dynamics. This approach helps to inform policy decisions, improve services, and gain insights into various social issues by leveraging the power of digital data and advanced computational techniques.
