My name is Patrick, I am currently a Ph.D. candidate in Computational Communication Research at the Department of Media and Communication at Ludwig-Maximilians University in Germany.
My Ph.D. thesis is supervised my Prof. Mario Haim and Prof. Barbara Plank.
In my thesis I use deep learning methods to find valid numerical measurments of political positions from textual data. In one of my fist conference presentations and in this preprint I sketch my ideas in more detail.
Soon to come ;)
I co-host and organize a in-person coding club (aka computational exchange on wednesday) three times every term. Among others, we’ve talked about topics like code style, word embeddings, docker, or data donations in the past. We are very open topic-wise, and also alway welcome new faces! If you live in Munich or are around and interested in Computational Social Science, drop me an Email (p.schwabl@lmu.de)
