We open up new research opportunities with computational methods
The aim of this research area is to test, analyse, adapt, further develop and evaluate novel methods, models and algorithms of computer science in the application field of social sciences. Core components of this research area are the development of methods and infrastructures for searching research data and resources, and the use of digital behavioural data such as data from social media or data generated by sensors for social science research.
The development and evaluation of methods for collecting, processing and analysing new forms of data expands the basis for answering social science questions. Innovative and integrated research infrastructures and services tailored to the social sciences can thus be created in the future for all phases of the research data cycle.
