Matti Pohjonen Amsterdamin ja Cambridgen yliopistoista puhuu huomenna Big Datasta:


A critical introduction to methods in big (and maybe not so big) data

This seminar presents a critical introduction to contemporary approaches in big data analysis, a field of research that has received much hype in the recent years for its potential for innovative new research. Through a combination of theoretical discussion and empirical case studies, the seminar hopes to interactively explore what some of these state-of-the-art methods are, what their underlying theoretical issues and challenges are, and where their potentials and limitations could be. The seminar thus both introduces a wide range of methods and concepts from text mining, network analysis and supervised and unsupervised machine learning as well as illustrates how these have been, and can be used, in everyday research practice. Some of the case studies discussed include research on social media hate speech around the refugee crisis as well as comparative research mapping the influence of the extreme far right and jihadi activists in the social media in Europe.


Seminaari on klo ke 26.10. klo 12:15 huoneessa Publicum 469.
