Speaker:
This event is part of an event series „Methods Hub Training “.
Crowdsourced text analysis allows for fast, affordable, and reproducible online coding of large numbers of statements. It combines judgements by multiple, paid, non-expert coders to avoid miscoding(s) and brings together the precision of experts with the reliability and speed of automated coding. It is ideal to quickly scale up even complex coding schemes and for the creation of training data for machine learning. This info event provides an introduction to the core ideas and concepts underlying crowdcoding. We will also provide you with an overview of the knowledge and the skills needed to conceptualize, design, run, and evaluate your own crowdcoding jobs to gather and code textual data.
Alexander Horn, Cluster PI and Head of the Emmy Noether Group “Varieties of Egalitarianism: Mapping the Politics of Inequality with Online Crowdcoding” is an expert of crowdcoding and will offer hands on guidance on how (not) to use crowdcoding for social science research.
The event will take place online. Please register to get a Zoom-link.
