CPC Researcher Juntao Lai winning the GISRUK 2015 Best Young Researcher Paper award
Congratulations to SpaceTimeLab researcher Juntao Lai, who was awarded the prize for best young researcher paper at GISRUK 2015. Juntao’s paper, entitled Spatio-Temporal Patterns of Passengers’ Interests at London Tube Stations, uses geo-tagged Tweets and topic modelling to explore how potential Tube passenger’s interests vary spatially throughout the system. His work was praised for its clarity and rigorousness. It was developed in collaboration with his coauthors Professor Tao Cheng and Dr Guy Lansley, and is available here.
