COVID-19 Research-Ready

My Research Interests: • Trusted human-computer interaction • Predictive analytics • Social media dis-/misinformation • Cyberbullying, political polarization
My Research Background: My research interests are in trusted human-computer interactions, specifically addressing issues of computer-mediated deception, cyber insider threats, dis-/misinformation, and cyberbullying. Recent projects include the study of predictive analytics for identifying online deception and cyberbullying in social forums, as well as polarization in political forums. My iSensor Lab analyzes and extracts language-action cues, such as in charged language for identifying hate speech. My research discovers and identify subtle but noticeable computational differences in communicative intent that can be observed, triangulated and codified. I can collaborate on detecting COVID-19 social media dis-/misinformation campaign and societal impacts. I build research experimentations to explore and collect conversational artifacts from social simulations. I’m also interested in building an AI-based system that can assist the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in devising containment strategies based on live data
How I Can Help Collaborators: • Scenario-based experimentation • User-centered interactive system design • Behavioral modeling & prediction • Modeling of language-action cues with analytics, social factors/ computing • Detecting social media dis/misinformation campaign and societal impacts
How Collaborators Can Help Me: • Bring your biggest problems for analysis • Access to big datasets (e.g., COVID-19, healthcare, social data, utilities, etc.) • Machine learning, artificial intelligence • Statistical analysis and modeling • Coding and programming
Additional Information: I founded the iSensor Lab in 2010 to conduct sociotechnical research related to human factors in cyberspace. Experiments are conducted in live and virtual environments using online games. Research data is collected through confined resources and interactions that are based on real-world cyber trust and deception simulations. We generate data based on real world scenarios that are created for specific purposes. This is done through the deployment of online games that contain identical variables as in real-world situations. Statistical modeling and machine learning are used to parse out the cues of conversations and make sense of the data collected.

Research on Computer-Mediated Deception
Duration: (1:21)
Year: 2018
Keyword: computer-mediated deception, online deception, language-action cues, cybersecurity, information behavior
The chance of a human spotting lies is 52.4%, approximately equivalent to random. However, a machine-learning approach can spot lies and classify online deception with nearly 85-100% accuracy.

Research on Cyber Insider Threat
Duration: (1:22)
Year: 2018
Keyword: cyber insider threat, cybersecurity, language-action cues, computer-mediated deception
The sociotechnical systems approach models multi-level interactions, extracts language-action cues, constructs dyadic attribution on trustworthiness, and identifies computer-mediated deception with accuracy.
