February 13th & 14th, 2025.

Lecturer: Prof. Felicia Loecherbach (University of Amsterdam)

Overview:
This two-day workshop is a hands-on introduction to cutting-edge computer vision methods for social science research. Designed for researchers who want to focus on practical applications, the workshop emphasizes state-of-the-art tools and techniques for analyzing image and video data. Participants will explore how recent innovations in computer vision—such as deep learning, convolutional neural networks, and multimodal models—can be leveraged to address research questions in fields like politics, communication, and beyond.

The workshop consists of interactive, practical sessions with step-by-step Python tutorials. These tutorials will guide participants through essential techniques for image and video processing up to multimodal modeling with visual and textual data.
