Opening Up the Data-Driven Measurement of Contemporary Popular Culture with Prof. David Bamman (School of Information, UC Berkeley)

Computational approaches offer new ways to analyze a variety of media, from hip hop and rap to box office blockbusters. David Bamman’s work harnesses natural language processing and computer vision to study everything from the representational strategies of popular films to the storytelling qualities of contemporary music. In this talk, he'll discuss his research team’s development of computational models to study cinema and music, as well as his advocacy work to expand exemptions to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) to enable the large-scale computational analysis of popular culture.
