"SOCKS is a big data tool which enables us to understand human text in ways that reveal things about human beings. Whether it's Wikipedia or Twitter or Reddit or all these kind of spaces where people talk, we can see things that are happening in all those conversations that we couldn't see if we're just looking one page at a time or one tweet at a time." Randall Harp, Associate Professor of Philosophy, UVM

"I wish I had started sooner because this is so fun and there's so much to do, but I couldn't have. I think we needed this technological computational revolution to ask kinds of questions that are really important for improving human outcomes."

"I study how new technology impacts people, but on the other side also how our society and the people involved in building technology imprint their own biases into the technology itself. Part of the world that I really care about doing is shedding light on that fact." Juniper Lovato, SOCKS Co-PI, Assistant Professor of Computer Science, UVM
