AI-Powered Qualitative Analysis in R 2.0 - Livestream starting Apr 17, 2026 (UTC)
Apply large language models and AI tools to qualitative research in this intensive one-day workshop led by Kenneth Benoit (Professor of Computational Social Science, SMU) and Seraphine Maerz (Senior Lecturer, University of Melbourne). Through guided demonstrations and hands-on exercises you’ll learn an accessible, rigorous R-based approach using packages like quallmer and ellmer to annotate text, images, audio, video, PDFs and tabular data; connect to proprietary (OpenAI, Google, Anthropic) and open-source (e.g., Ollama) models; design reliable prompts; assess ethics and data-security trade-offs; validate AI outputs against human coding; and build reproducible, publication-ready pipelines — all with no prior R experience required. Sessions are livestreamed via Zoom, include annotated code and prepared datasets, and all materials, recordings and a monitored Q&A forum are available for 30 days after the seminar; a certificate of completion is provided (ECTS equivalents noted for European students). Bring a laptop with R and RStudio installed if you want to follow along, or attend asynchronously — register to secure your place. disciplines #HealthSciences #PoliticalScience #SocialSciences #Education #ComputerScience #DataScience #SocialTheory #InformationScience #Ethics #Sociology #R #RStudio #Research #ResearchTraining #Instats
