I am an Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of Texas at Dallas. My teaching and research interests include conflict studies, political violence, military cooperation, topics related to measurement, data, statistical analysis, and machine learning. Below are brief descriptions of the three multidisciplinary team projects that I've been working on lately:
Crowdsourcing Militarized Interstate Dispute Data
Updating the Militarized Dispute Data Through Crowdsourcing is an NSF-funded project to develop and leverage crowdsourcing and NLP methods to expand the MID data through 2017. I am a PI on this project where our long-term goal is to develop a human(s)-in-the-loop system for collecting quality conflict data fast and efficiently.
TwoRavens: Data Exploration, Analysis, and Meta-Analysis
I am a Co-PI and co-author of TwoRavens (http://2ra.vn), a project funded by DARPA's Data-Driven Discovery of Models (D3M) program. TwoRavens is a platform for data exploration, analysis, and meta-analysis. Through D3M, we are expanding TwoRavens to incorporate machine learning and automated modeling, as well as building out existing features to further facilitate the data science workflow.
Modernizing Political Event Data
Modernizing Political Event Data is funded through the NSF's Resource Implementations for Data Intensive Research in the Social Behavioral and Economic Sciences (RIDIR) program. We are building an end-to-end system that collects and disseminates political event data coded from global news sources in English, Spanish, and Arabic. I am a Senior Investigator and my work is primarily centered on incorporating the TwoRavens platform into the end-to-end system to analyze, explore, and manipulate the event data.
