This
is a special note offering congratulations to Alex Isken (AIM Class of 2015) –
his independent research project was accepted for presentation at the 6th Undergraduate Conference in Information Systems (UCIS) at Carnegie-Mellon University http://qatar.cmu.edu/ucis.
The conference will be held on Saturday, February 27, 2016, in Pittsburgh, PA.  |

“Beating
the Stock Market: Measuring the Predictive Power of Twitter Sentiment Analysis”
by Alex Isken was considered to be one of the top five submissions and he was awarded
a $500 travel grant to present at Carnegie Mellon.
In a previous
blog entry we highlighted about Alex’s contributions in hosting a ‘big data
and fundamental analysis” workshop to the AIM students. His knowledge of how to
mine data from micro-blogs was shared with other students and has led to a
special exercise being added to the AIM curriculum.
Another
Marquette student had a research article accepted by UCIS. We would also like
to congratulate Alex Mueller for his “Python Programming in Web Vulnerability
Assessments” article.
