SUMMARY:Natural Language Processing\, Julien Boelaert (CERAPS\, Université de Lille)
DESCRIPTION:  \n\n\n\n  \n  \nSCHEDULE\n  \nMonday\n  \n13th November 2023 \n20th November 2023\n  \nFrom 13:00 to 16:15\n  \nRoom 2033\n\n\n  \nThursday\n  \n16th November 2023 \n23rd November 2023\n  \nFrom 13:00 to 16:15\n  \nRoom 2033\n\n\n\nAims and objectives\nThe aim of this course is to provide an introduction to the main contemporary methods for natural language processing\, and to illustrate them with recent uses of text as data in social sciences. \nNatural language processing has made giant steps during the last decade\, as illustrated in 2023 by the resounding popularity of chatGPT. In addition\, text corpora have become increasingly available for exploitation by social scientists\, be it through digitization of originally paper sources (eg. Parliamentary sessions transcripts\, printed newspapers\, books\, historical sources\, …) or audio sources (through automatic transcription)\, or through the advent of natively digital sources (from social media\, online newspapers\, …). \nThe course will start with the standard (aka pre-neural) methods of the late 20th century\, based on large document-feature matri-ces. We will then cover more recent developments: word embeddings (for improved NLP\, or studies about bias in text corpora)\, topic modeling with Latent Dirichlet Allocation (unsupervised detection of topics)\, and Transformer models (current state of the art\, BERT- and GPT-like models). Each session will comprise a theoretical lecture\, and applied examples on R or python. \n\n

SUMMARY:Virginia Minni (IFS / Chicago Booth) - "Meaning at work"
DESCRIPTION:Applied Micro Seminar : Every Tuesday \nTime: 12:15 pm – 13:30 pm\nDate: 14th of November\nRoom : 3001 \n  \nVirginia Minni (IFS / Chicago Booth) – Meaning at work \n  \nAbstract : \nModern society is characterized by a clear demarcation between work and personal life\, where work involves an exchange of time and ”costly” effort for money. And yet\, social scientists have long posited that individuals get meaning from their work that extends beyond financial compensation. To investigate this\, we run a cross-country field experiment in collaboration with a multinational company that offers one-day workshops that guide employees on how to connect their individual purpose with their work. We randomize the roll-out of the workshops among 3000 employees in 14 countries and track outcomes over the subsequent two years\, including productivity and performance on the job\, turnover\, job changes\, job satisfaction\, team engagement\, and well-being. We find that the workshop increases worker performance and wellbeing. More than half of the performance effect is explained by higher worker motivation\, and the rest comes from changes in worker selection via exit and worker job allocation via lateral moves. The results indicate that a simple\, cost-effective\, and scalable intervention aimed at fostering personal meaning at work impacts worker outcomes by flattening the tradeoff between pay and meaning. \nCoauthored with Nava Ashraf\, Oriana Bandiera and Luigi Zingales. \n  \nOrganizers:\nBenoît SCHMUTZ (Pôle d’économie du CREST)\nClément MALGOUYRES (Pôle d’économie du CREST)\nSponsors:\nCREST \n
