Project Domino: Citizen Data Science Against COVID Misinformation
Details Project Domino, an open-source citizen data science effort leveraging NLP to track COVID-19 misinformation.
Summary
Leo Meyerovich, founder and CEO of Graphistry, introduces Project Domino in the AI Village, an open-source citizen data science initiative analyzing the mechanics and propagation of COVID-19 health misinformation across social media networks [00:04, 05:34].
Meyerovich details how the project combines GPU-accelerated graph visualization with automated data pipelines to expose coordinated inauthentic behavior, bot networks, and terms-of-service abuse on platforms like Twitter [11:11, 16:32]. He demonstrates how transitioning from basic keyword filtering to semantic natural language processing (NLP) and graph community clustering enables researchers to track mutating conspiracy narratives and build proactive defensive alerting systems [22:08, 27:37].
