EduQuant seminar: Alex Eble

In this EduQuant seminar, Professor Alex Eble will discuss his research (joint with collaborators at the MiiE Lab) on using computer vision and machine learning tools to generate data on the content of images and text of media. He will summarize results from a few recent papers applying these tools to children’s books, textbooks from the US state of Texas, and news media, respectively. The talk will conclude with a discussion of potential applications of these tools in a sampling range of questions across the social sciences.
