    [NLP for Social Science #8]: Di Zhou

    Thursday May 11, 2023
    4:00pm

This free public lecture series explores how NLP is used to illuminate social processes and institutions.

#7: The Elements of Cultural Power: Novelty, Emotion, Status, and Cultural Capital

About this workshop

The goal of this new lecture series is to invite scholars whose research uses contemporary NLP methods to illuminate not only the internal structures and patterns of linguistic forms but also the social processes and institutions in which they are embedded. The work of these speakers represents some of the most promising directions in applied NLP due to its technical rigor, research design, and theoretical depth.

Support for this series is generously provided by INCITE at Columbia and the Platial Analysis Lab at McGill. This workshop is jointly organized by Jack LaViolette (Columbia University, sociology) and Mikael Brunila (McGill University, geography).

You can find the complete schedule of dates and speakers on our website.
