As in previous editions, two intensive courses aimed at scholars in the field of political science will be held in the days leading up to the SISP Annual Conference.

The two courses — Visual Analysis for Political Scientists and Conjoint Experiments in Political Science and International Relations — will take place on September 3, from 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM, and are made possible thanks to the collaboration between the Standing Groups “Methods for Political Science Research” (MetRiSP) and “Government, Parliament and Representation” (GPR).

This course will provide an overview of the use of computational methods to analyze political communication through images and videos, ranging from basic image processing to more advanced deep learning models.
