Dear all

Ive just watched the video

(not yet read the paper)

This sounds like an interesting big data version of an older way of
mixing quali and quanti approaches:

Pearce, Lisa D. 2002. Integrating Survey and Ethnographic Methods for
Systematic Anomalous Case Analysis, Sociological Methodology 32,
103-132. http://www.jstor.org/stable/3186156.

In brief you use quant methods (now algorithms) to identify the outliers
which (rather than discarding) you study using qualitative methods

best wishes

davidz
