Web Science and Social Computing Research Group

Our group seeks to advance the state on responsible uses of artificial intelligence in high-risk applications: those involving access to jobs, education, justice, health, and emergency services, among others. We also undertake interdisciplinary studies of the web and the social web as natural objects.

The research we develop is grounded in traditional areas of computing such as information retrieval, data mining, human computation, and human-computer interaction.

WSSC is part of the research unit TESI — Technology, Society, Interactions, within the DTIC of UPF in Barcelona.
