Zoltán Fazekas is Associate Professor of Business and Politics, with focus on quantitative methods in the Department of International Economics, Government and Business at the Copenhagen Business School. His research is broadly at the intersection of political psychology, political communication, and comparative politics. He studies political attitude formation, the role and content of political coverage, and the interaction between political elites and the public. Zoltán’s methodological interests and expertise lie in hierarchical modeling, quantitative text analysis, and computational tools for social sciences. In his key-note address, Zoltán will transit from sentiment analysis and topic models to word embeddings. He will exemplify this approach with an analysis of Brexit-related news coverage.
The event brings together for two days approximately 20 international participants from several academic institutions. The topic of discussion for this edition is quantitative text analysis: the conceptual, analytical and visual tools to systematically extract meaning from text for social research.
