Welcome to the Centroid Applied Machine Learning Lab.
Our mission is to advance the responsible and ethical use of machine learning and artificial intelligence within the social sciences. We believe these powerful tools have the potential to deepen our understanding of human behavior and societal trends—when applied with care and integrity. At Centroid, we equip researchers and practitioners with the knowledge, tools, and resources needed to use machine learning effectively, while also training the next generation of data and social scientists in ethical application. Through cutting-edge research, education, and collaboration, we strive to uncover meaningful insights that can inform policy, shape practice, and positively impact society.
