Digital Media Winter Institute 2020 | SMART Data Sprint 2020

27 January - 06 February, 2020

Universidade NOVA de Lisboa

Lisbon, Portugal



Digital Media Winter Institute has annually gathered a network of
international researchers, with different backgrounds and expertise,
interested in doing investigations from the perspective of digital methods.
New media researchers, journalists, developers, data designers, digital
methods experts, sociologists, data scientists and more are meeting in
Lisbon to work and improve their skills, in theory, practice and critique
of digital methods.

The program of #DMWI2020 brings the fourth edition of #SMARTDataSprint with
an international program: keynotes and practical labs by Tommaso Venturini
(médialab of Sciences Po Paris) and Bernhard Rieder (University of
Amsterdam). His keynote talk and practical labs are going to explore visual
network analysis. Rieder is an associate professor in New Media and Digital
Culture at the University of Amsterdam and a researcher at the Digital
Methods Initiative. He will give a keynote on mapping value(s) in
artificial intelligence (AI).



In the first week of DMWI, from 27 to 31 January 2020, participants from
around the world will come to Lisbon to attend keynote lectures, short
talks, parallel sessions of practical labs and join applied research
projects. Experts and scholars will invite participants to work
collectively on issues involving internet memes and platform censorship,
Anti-Feminist and Anti-LGBT Discourses, Method maps and Cross-Platform
Digital Networks. Other opportunities for hands-on experimentation with
methods are on the schedule with the following practical labs:



» YouTube Research & Ranking Culture

» Charting Collections of Connections in Social Media: Creating Maps and
Measures with NodeXL

» Gephi for beginners

» How to work with spreadsheets

» Shaping questions for Trends Studies through Digital Methods

» Raw Graphs for data exploratory analysis

» Data mining and visualisation with R

» Getting to know data extraction + text analysis tools

» Visual Network Analysis

» Building Image-hashtag Networks

» Visual social media analysis
