  • HITS Colloquium Simone Ponzetto – Computational Approaches to Political Communication: From Populist Rhetoric to Moral Framing

    Studio Villa Bosch Schloss-Wolfsbrunnenweg 33, Heidelberg, Germany

      by Simone Ponzetto, Mannheim University   Abstract Recent years have seen a growing interest in the use of Natural Language Processing (NLP) methods for the analysis of political communication. While many computational approaches focus on topics, sentiment, or political stance, political discourse also conveys more subtle rhetorical, pragmatic, and moral dimensions that are central […]

  • HITS Colloquium Michael Baake – The Markov embedding problem – old and new

    Studio Villa Bosch Schloss-Wolfsbrunnenweg 33, Heidelberg, Germany

      by Michael Baake, Fakultät für Mathematik, Universität Bielefeld   Markov matrices are a widely used tool for the empirical description of real-world data, which are usually sampled in discrete time steps. Since the underlying processes may (and often do) run in continuous time, one needs some time interpolation consistency, as the Finnish statistician Gustav […]
