About Core Data Science
The Data Science team conducts large scale, quantitative research to gain deeper insights into how people interact with each other and with their world. To accomplish these goals, we also build scalable platforms for the collection, management, and analysis of data.
Our findings inform decisions in areas critical to the success of the company, improve the experiences people have on the site, and are of broad external interest.
Our research areas span a variety of disciplines, including machine learning, econometrics, social psychology, and statistical inference. We use mixed methods to accomplish these goals, including topic modeling, regression, network analysis, field experiments, surveys, and information visualization.
