15606. Using Google Maps to Generate Organizational Sampling Frames (1:14:00)

Date:
2023-01-20
Main contributors:
Fulton, Brad R.
Summary:
Organizational researchers use a variety of methods to obtain sampling frames. The utility of these methods, however, is constrained by access restrictions, limited coverage, prohibitive costs, and cumbersome formats. This workshop presents a new method for generating sampling frames for any type of organization that is cost-effective, uses publicly available data, and produces near-comprehensive sampling frames for any geographic area in the U.S. The Python-based program we developed systematically scans the Google Maps platform to identify organizations of interest and retrieve their contact information. We demonstrate the program’s viability and utility by generating a sampling frame of religious congregations in the U.S. To assess Google Maps’ coverage and representativeness of such congregations, we examined two nationally representative samples of congregations and a census of every congregation in Indianapolis. We found that Google Maps contains approximately 98% of those congregations––near-complete coverage that ensures a near-perfect degree of representativeness. Using Google Maps to generate sampling frames promises to substantially improve the process for obtaining representative samples for organizational studies by reducing costs, increasing efficiency, and providing greater coverage and representativeness.

15609. Using Instrumental Variables to Interpret Experiments, Choice Experiments, and Survey Nonresponse (1:26:36)

Date:
2018-10-19
Main contributors:
Wing, Coady
Summary:
Classical applications of instrumental variables analysis are justified by structural models of behavior, and assumptions about the relationship between measured and unmeasured variables. Experimental and quasi-Experimental research designs present a partial alternative to structural modeling that is useful for answering certain types of research questions. It turns out that instrumental variables analysis can also help us make sense of several different research designs. This workshop will introduce the key assumptions involved in instrumental variables analysis from the perspective of research design. It will examine the way instrumental variables can play a role in the analysis of data from (i) classical randomized experiments, (ii) experiments that mix randomization and participant choice, and (iii) surveys that suffer from nonresponse. In each case, research designs justify some instrumental variable assumptions and not others. Examples and best practices for applied research will be discussed throughout.

15614. Using Machine Learning to Infer Real-world Political Attitudes and Behaviors from Social Media Data (1:10:00)

Date:
2022-02-24
Main contributors:
Bestvater, Samuel
Summary:
Social media has become a primary means of communication and personal expression for many, and digital trace data from social media platforms can contain rich and extensive archives of individuals’ attitudes, beliefs, and actions. But even though these data are increasingly plentiful and available to social science researchers, the process of extracting meaningful measures of individual-level attributes from large collections of social media data is nontrivial. In this talk, Computational Social Scientist, Sam Bestvater, will draw from his research on political engagement in online spaces and its impacts on real-world behaviors to discuss how machine learning algorithms can be used to analyze large amounts of social media data and extract insights into political attitudes and activities. Along the way, the talk will introduce several recent innovations in natural language processing and computer vision, and will discuss some potential challenges and limitations of using these tools and data sources for political research, as well as ethical considerations that should be taken into account.

15620. Using Natural Language Processing to Facilitate Social Science Research (1:22:00)

Date:
2023-03-03
Main contributors:
Katz, Andrew
Summary:
Recent advances in natural language processing in the form of large language models (e.g., ChatGPT, GPT-3, BERT) have created new opportunities for social science research. While some of these models are proprietary and not easily accessible to researchers, others are publicly available through open source repositories such as HuggingFace. Key to these new language models is their ability to capture semantic meaning in texts, which means social scientists can leverage them to identify themes in large corpora of text that were previously unwieldy to analyze. In this workshop, we will review methods to harness these models to glean information from a range of sources including interviews, open-ended surveys, and web-scraped data.

15626. Using Omeka: Cultural Heritage Projects at Indiana University (55:21)

Date:
2014-11-19
Main contributors:
Cowan, William, Jenns, Erika, Smith, Ardea
Summary:
In recent years, Omeka has become an important tool for the exhibit of digital object collections. As with many technologies, Omeka can present some issues with setup and configuration, but overall, Omeka is easy to use for managing digital content. A few of the recent projects to use Omeka are the Lilly Library's War of 1812 (http://collections.libraries.iub.edu/warof1812/) and Indiana University Library Moving Image Archive's World War II Propaganda Films (http://collections.libraries.iub.edu/IULMIA/). The two projects discussed at this session are the Don C. Belton memorial site by the English Department, presented by Erika Jenns, and the ‰ÛÏRegeneration in Digital Contexts: Early Black Film‰Û conference and workshop site presented by the Black Film Center/Archive graduate assistant Ardea Smith. Using Omeka to Represent the Library of Professor Don C. Belton (http://belton.indiana.edu/) presented by Erika Jenns Using my experiences cataloguing the collection of Professor Don Belton, the late novelist, book collector, and English professor at Indiana University Bloomington, I will address the benefits of using Omeka to create a dynamic access point for users. After Belton's death in 2009, the bulk of his collection was transferred to branch libraries on campus. Remaining books were kept by IU's English Department, which does not have a formal library. To make the collection more visible, I created an Omeka website, meant to function as a precursor to a visit to the collection. The site uses tags, rendering it more searchable. It also includes scans of book covers, digitized videos of Belton lecturing and reading, and posts by students who have worked with the collection. The site represents Belton's books both physically and electronically. Coupled with biographical information, it highlights Belton's research interests, sources of inspiration, and some of the works he produced. The Proceedings of Regeneration in Digital Contexts: Early Black Film (http://www.indiana.edu/~regener8/regeneration/) presented by Ardea Smith In 2013, the Black Film Center/Archive received a National Endowment for the Humanities Level I Digital Humanities Start-Up Grant to convene an interdisciplinary group of scholars, archivists, curators, and digital humanities technology specialists for a two-day conference and workshop, ‰ÛÏRegeneration in Digital Contexts: Early Black Film.‰Û The conference and workshop proceedings were documented on video and fully transcribed. To enhance public access to these proceedings, I oversaw the creation of a website utilizing the open-source Omeka platform and VideoStream 2 plugin designed by project advisor Will Cowan at Indiana University. The website anchors streaming video content to keyword-searchable transcripts of the event proceedings. Drawing on the development process for the ‰ÛÏRegeneration‰Û website, my presentation will discuss the practical issues of building of an Omeka-based site using IU's webserve system with an aim to help individuals new to digital archival creation.

Main contributors:
Gniady, Tassie
Summary:
R is a statistical package used by many digital textual analysts to explore aspects of styelometry. Here at IU, we have an instance of the popular Rstudio running on Karst to facilitate work on large corpora. However, it is often helpful to begin work with a small test set (sometimes even a single text) and scale up. The CyberDH group has put together code packages and annotated RNotebooks that are available on GitHub to serve as a friendly introduction to how the process of scaling up might work. This talk will step through the basics of these exercises and the visualizations that result.

2016-10-05
Main contributors:
Craig, Kalani, Diaz, Arlene
Summary:
In 1897-1898 secret agents from the Pinkerton National Detective Agency were following American war correspondents in Havana, Cuba. These agents were all Americans yet they all seemingly had a common employer: the Spanish diplomatic minister in the United States. The mission of the operatives that were sent to Cuba was to inform, as well as to sabotage, the journalist work of these correspondents who kept feeding the animosity of American public opinion against Spain. They also sought to identify other spies who were helping the Cubans as well as the Americans. In this mÌ©lange of (private) espionage and (public) published stories, who were the ‰Û÷real' spies and for whom did they really work for? According to the detective reports, what was going on and what stories were being told about the war in Cuba by these American journalists? This brown bag presentation will discuss what we have learned so far from this research as well as how the tools provided by digital humanities were used to uncover spies, the crafting of narratives, and the relationships among them through time.
