Computational Analysis of Digital Communication

This page contains all information and materials for the course “Computational Analysis of Digital Communication (CADC)” developed at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. In the course, students will learn about common computational methods in Communication Science. They will learn how to use the statistical programming environment R to

• import various data formats as well as gather data from online sources,
• transform and wrangle data to get it ready for analysis,
• perform text classification and text analysis (including dictionary, classic machine learning approaches, and using large language models), and
