He will particularly focus on the applications of the technologies as methods for sociological inquiry and examine potential applications in three different areas including computational\, experimen tal and qualitative research. Our event will delve into the implications o f GAL for bias and bias mitigation efforts\, shedding light on the potenti al risks and opportunities that arise in the pursuit of fair and equitable AI systems. Some of Professor Davidson’s current research examines how di gital trace data from social media and other websites combined with statis tical analysis and computational methods\, including natural language proc essing and machine learning.\n\n\nItinerary \n\n12:00 - 12:05 | Welcome an d introductions\n\n12:05 - 12:45 | Lunch&Learn presentation\n\n12:45 - 12: 55 | Moderated Q&A session\n\n12:55 - 13:00 | Closing and upcoming session s\n\nLocation\n\nThis is an online webinar hosted on Zoom.
