Seminarablauf
This seminar will consist of reading and discussing relevant literature and practical programming exercises in R. We will discuss three main topics: the statistical structure of language, learning and semantic memory, and affect as expressed in language. The final 3-4 weeks will be devoted to conducting final projects, in which each student addresses a (small) psychological question using openly available natural language data. During the project period there will be no classes; supervision will be provided through 1-1 support, in person or virtual. The final project will be documented in a 2-3 page summary (1.5 lines, font size 12) and presented in a 5-10min presentation during the final session (21.5.).
