Description
Images play a crucial role in shaping and reflecting political life. Digitization has increased their presence in daily life, creating valuable new research opportunities for social scientists.
This book introduces readers to the deep learning algorithms commonly used for object recognition, facial recognition, and visual sentiment analysis, providing guidance on how to use these methods in research.
It shows how recent innovations in computer vision can substantially lower the costs of using images as data, making it a valuable resource for scholars interested in social science research.
