Demos

• MediaRank: a system designed to track online news sources’ qualities. On one hand, we analyze the content generated by these sources and use multiple objective metrics to make qualitative differentiation among them. On the other hand, we are interested to see how news are consumed and comprehended by individuals and groups on social media.

• NamePrism: a name-based nationality classifier that achieves state-of-the-art performance (API enabled);
  Input: first and last name
  Output: nationality probability distributions
