Identifying Meaningful Indirect Indicators of Migration for Different Conflicts

Computers and Society 2020-07-14 v1

Abstract

This extended abstract describes an ongoing project that attempts to blend publicly available organic, real time behavioral data, event data, and traditional migration data to determine when and where people will move during times of instability. We present a methodology that was successful for a case study predicting mass movement in Iraq from 2015 - 2017, and discuss how we are extending it to capture indirect indicators of movement in Venezuela.
