Very excited to present my work on AI-driven geospatial data understanding with my brilliant colleagues at @USC_ISI at the @TheWebConf today!
From detecting information operations on social media to enhancing smart city development, this week ISI researchers return to the 2025 ACM Web Conference to present a number of innovative papers.

Grateful to my former lab @USC_ISI for 6 incredible years growing as a researcher & contributing to exciting projects. It’s a privilege to reflect on that journey!
Basel Shbita, a 2024 ISI Ph.D. graduate, recalls his years at the institute, and how ISI has impacted the way he approaches research. "Computers have been my best friend since I was 10," he said.
