MIT News at Noon: Devavrat Shah on Twitter trends

Devavrat Shah, Associate Professor in the Development of Electrical Engineering & Computer Science, delivers his "News at Noon" talk at the MIT Museum. The event is co-sponsored by the MIT News Office and the Museum, and features researchers discussing their recently promoted work.

On Nov. 9, Shah discussed how he uses his machine-learning algorithm to predict trends hours in advance of recognition by Twitter. Presenters for "News at Noon" are announced each week following an appearance in MIT News.

Come and connect with local colleagues before and after the program. Free admission to all. Learn more at http://web.mit.edu/museum/pdf/MITNewsAtNoon-F12.pdf
