Word Of The Day: Reality Mining

- Nathan Eagle

Reality Mining defines the collection of machine-sensed environmental data pertaining to human social behavior.

Mobile phones (and similarly innocuous devices) are used for data collection, opening social network analysis to new methods of empirical stochastic modeling.
