[Commlist] Cambridge Data School 15-28 June

Rubén Huerta Zapién likes to invite you to this year's Data School at 
the University of Cambridge 
<https://www.cdh.cam.ac.uk/dataschools/social-data-school-2022>, with a 
particular emphasis on “Visualising Data/Investigating Images”. Find 
more information below:

This year’s Cambridge Social Data School will take place 15–28 June 
2022. It is open to journalists, NGOs, activists, trade unionists and 
members of civil society organisations who would like to access tools 
and develop different methods for public interest investigations into 
any forms of wrongdoing such as armed conflicts, violations of labour 
and human rights, extractivism, land invasions and social media 
manipulation.

The topic of this year’s Social Data School is: *“Visualising 
Data/Investigating Images”*. For instance, we will extract data from 
multiple video and photographic sources to create spatial visualisations 
for forensic analysis and learn how computer vision algorithms are used 
to classify images and generate deepfakes. We will explore how images 
can become places of inquiry and instruments of communication, and 
develop a critical toolkit for interrogating the image-based cultures of 
the digital age.

Other elements of data research, like visualisation and social media 
analysis will also be part of the curriculum and the full programme will 
be published soon. Modules will cover the following content:

* *Computer Generated Imagery (CGI) processing and 3D visualisation*
* *Methodology for Digital Investigations*
* *Geolocation and open source investigations*
* *Critical Approaches to Data Visualisation*
* *Computer vision, automated image generation and deepfakes*
* *Introduction to Social Media data mining, analysis and visualisation*

Online participation will be available for all sessions. This is a 
Cambridge Digital Humanities event and is organised in partnership with 
the Minderoo Centre for Technology and Democracy.

*A small number of bursaries are available to those who can demonstrate 
financial need. You can apply for this on the application form.*
