Call for Participants: Workshop on Language Models in Practice

New analytical methods offer the possibility to process ever larger amounts of text and to measure latent constructs therein. Be it in the recognition of emotions in tweets, of political orientation in a party manifesto or the reputation of politicians in newspaper articles. At the same time, language models, such as BERT, have led to a tremendous performance increase in many natural language processing tasks. This two-day workshop with Felix Hamborg (Humboldt University of Berlin) aims to equip participants with the knowledge to employ such models in their own research. All early career researchers from all social sciences are invited to apply. 

When: 14 and 15 December 2022, 09:00 - 18:00

Where: University of Zurich, City Campus, Room tba
