In this lecture, Mark New will present work conducted by the African Climate and Development Initiative at the University of Cape Town on impacts attribution using examples from water security, food security and sovereign catastrophe insurance. Importantly, in some of these examples the potential of adaptation options can be tested to offset attributable climate impacts, allowing quantification of the effectiveness of adaptation in a manner similar to approaches used in medical treatment studies.

This final virtual workshop introduces participants to topic modeling, an exciting realm of text analysis. The workshop focuses on two key methodologies: topic modeling and keyword-assisted topic models(keyATM). Participants will gain a practical understanding of topic modeling, a powerful unsupervised technique that extracts hidden themes and patterns from text collections.
In this second Text Analysis Virtual Workshop series, we will cover data preprocessing, which is a set of steps and techniques applied to raw text data before analysis. These steps include tokenization, lowercasing, stop word removal, stemming and lemmatization, removing special characters, and further text cleaning.
In this first Text Analysis Virtual Workshop series, we delve into foundational understanding and practical applications of text analysis. Defining concepts like text mining and natural language processing, we explore their uses in social sciences, digital humanities, and beyond. We will then discover how these methods address complex inquiries, enriching our grasp of societal phenomena. Beyond academia, we will showcase text analysis's efficacy in marketing, finance, and more.
In the follow-up Visualization 2 virtual workshop, we will venture into ggplot's advanced features, equipping participants with visualization techniques to resolve complex challenges. We will first explore how to create informative animated visualizations. Attendees will then have the opportunity to uncover the power of coordinates and maps, illuminating how data can be spatially represented for deeper insights.
