darknet analytics, cryptocurrency, computational advertising, health informatics, analytics of physiological data, etc.</p> <p> <strong>Research Interests</strong></p> <p> Computational communication research employs computational methods such as user log analytics, text mining, online experiment, network analysis, and etc. to address both long-standing and emerging questions that bear either theoretical or applicational importance in media and communication. As the name suggests, it is an interdisciplinary approach across communication, computer science, data science, management science, physical science, engineering, and many neighboring social sciences. The following is a partial list of ongoing projects undertaken by members of the clusters with funding support from GRF, PPR, ITC, NSSFC, and other sources.</p> <ul> <li> <strong>Interplay among media coverage, public opinion, and government policy during the COVID19 outbreak. </strong>The project aims to track and evaluate how the media, the public, and the government around the world interact with each other about and react to COVID19. The findings are expected to help prepare the society worldwide to cope with major public health crises in the future.</li> <li> <strong>Transmission of misinformation during the COVID19 outbreak.</strong> The project aims to track and evaluate how misinformation spreads across social media in times of the pandemic outbreak. The findings are expected to enhance understanding of misinformation dissemination and help organizations and communicators to find ways to counteract misinformation during the public health crises.</li> <li> <strong>Knowledge graph of social media research</strong>. The project aims to construct a knowledge graph of conceptual ontology and empirical findings of social media research, based on the latest techniques of natural language processing and deep learning. The resulting knowledge graph is expected to serve scholarly syntheses and practical applications of empirical social media studies.</li> <li> <strong>Social media analytics for financial market surveillance</strong>. The project aims to use AI-driven technology and social media big data to develop and deploy a set of intelligence systems to monitor financial environment in Hong Kong and beyond. The resulting systems is expected to help financial industry, government regulators, and the general consumers to keep abreast of the rapid changing financial ecosystems.</li> <li> <strong>Darknet and cryptocurrency analytics. </strong>The project centers around the mining of behavior patterns of darknet and cryptocurrency users. The findings are expected to help fight against drug abuse, Internet crimes and financial frauds.</li> <li> <strong>Message framing in communication. </strong>The project examines the effects of message framing in communication to support decision-making involving risk and uncertainty.</li> <li> <strong>Using physiological data to interpret communication and infer user cognitive and emotional states. </strong>The project examines the use of physiological data to understand user cognitive and emotional states in computer-mediated communication.</li> </ul> <p> <strong>Recent Publications</strong></p> <p> <strong><em>I.
