SOC 566 - Computational Social Science (3)With the increase in the amounts of social data from a variety of new sources, such as the internet, social media, mobile phones, and digitized archives, social scientists have developed and applied novel analytical techniques to conduct research in order to better understand the rapidly changing social world as well as to update theoretical paradigms. This course introduces the integration of computational methods with the social sciences. Students will learn how new data sources challenge the way in which we see society and how computational techniques, such as network analysis, sequence analysis, event history analysis, and natural language processing, facilitate social scientists’ data gathering, data analysis, and theory building. Meets with SOC 366 .
