Abstract

The main goal of the Social Technology and Research Laboratory (STAR Lab) in the University of Hong Kong is to develop novel IT technologies for serving the society. The team has more than three years of experience in project development, web, app, and game design, photography, and video production. The researchers are interested in ‘Data Science for Social Good’, researching data-driven approaches that can benefit the public, NGOs, and the government. The STAR lab is comprised of four professors, five postdoc researchers, ten PhD students, and more than twenty software developers. The lab is working on different aspects towards ‘Data Science for Social Good’. To achieve these goals, the STAR lab has been working on two frontiers: fundamental research and social and legal applications.
