New publication, where we look at climate change communication on YouTube via API research, channel coding, and computational image analysis. journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…

In this new publication led by xin shen we propose and compare algorithmic approaches to efficiently process networks where edge existence is uncertain. On the accurate computation of expected modularity in probabilistic networks, Scientific Reports arxiv.org/abs/2408.07161

In this new report led by Matias Piqueras ("A Visual Structural Topic Model with Image Embeddings") we provide a new method for the computational analysis of visual communication based on the actual images (with mixed membership & inclusion of metadata) arxiv.org/abs/2504.10004
