Join us for an exciting Biometrics Voice Contest and learn about the Four Horsemen interdisciplinary lab, dedicated to advancing new methods for studying planetary threats. We'll discuss our recent initiatives, including programs on nuclear proliferation, pandemics, and innovative techniques for analyzing religious violence. We aim to explore the connection between media broadcasts and religious violence prediction. We're looking for motivated students experienced in topic modeling, natural language processing, and machine learning. For inquiries, contact Matthew Connelly or Micki Kaufman.
