Workshop Details
The 2020 Images-as-Data Dublin (IMG-DUB) Workshop will take place online via Zoom, from 10-11 December 2020. We look forward to welcoming researchers from across the social sciences and computer science to what will surely be a fascinating two day conference.
In recent years, social scientists have begun using computational methods to study images, launching a new “images-as-data” research field. Either through home-grown classifiers or pre-trained image labeling services, it is now possible to analyze image content at large scales. These methods open new avenues of research in a variety of sub-disciplines in the social sciences, including communication and behavioral studies. At the same time, researchers are actively working on addressing known biases in computational image classification.
To take stock of new developments in this exciting field, we have invited interested scholars to participate in a 2-day workshop to discuss new approaches and substantive applications of computational and qualitative image analysis in the political and social sciences.
A full workshop program and list of accepted papers is now available.
