* '''New!''' Understanding the commuter behaviour and the factors that lead to commuting are more important today than ever before. With steadily increasing commuter numbers, the commuter traffic can be a major bottleneck for many cities. The increasing awareness of a good work-life balance leads to more people wanting shorter commuting distances. The commuter behaviour consequently plays an increasingly important role in city and transport planning and policy making. This topic aims to infer knowledge from commuter data, analyzing the influence of GDP, housing prices, family situation, income and job market on the decision to commute. We expect you have some statistics and machine learning background, as well as programming skills like Python. | * '''New!'''

=== Socioeconomic Status and Internet Language Usage === | |||
* '''New!''' Numerous people write social media posts and exchange messages with colleagues, friends, acquaintances or even strangers on different platforms. We would like to understand how the underlying social class membership (socioeconomic status) affects Internet users' language use, by investigating the sociolinguistic features in users' posts/messages across a multitude of datasets and their relationship to their socioeconomic status. We expect you have some statistics and textual analysis/natural language processing background, as well as programming skills like Python. | |||
