I am interested in applying quantitative text analysis techniques in international political communication research. I am one of the main developers of quanteda, an R package for quantitative text analysis, which is widely used by leading political scientists in Europe and North America.
My current research projects involve in analysis of news articles in European (English and German) and Asian (Japanese, Hebrew and Arabic) languages. I apply semi-supervised techniques such as Newsmap and LSS to perform cross-lingual comparative analysis efficiently.
