Applied Media Data Analysis Using Artificial Intelligence Training Course

Course Introduction / Overview:

In the world of media and communications, data is a powerful asset, but it is too big for traditional analysis methods. This comprehensive training program, provided by BIG BEN Training Center, is designed to give you the skills needed to use artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze media data and uncover meaningful insights. We will go into all parts of the process, from collecting large datasets to using AI tools for sentiment analysis, topic modeling, and predictive analytics. The course focuses on practical skills, including using different AI algorithms to understand audience behavior, track media trends, and measure the effectiveness of communication campaigns. We will also explore the theoretical foundations of AI in media, drawing on academic insights from figures like Lev Manovich, a prominent media theorist. His book, "The Language of New Media," explores how computers and algorithms are shaping media production and analysis. By the end of this course, you will not only be proficient in using AI for media analysis, but you will also have a strategic understanding of how to use data to inform your communication decisions and stay ahead of the curve. This training is for anyone who wants to use the power of AI to transform their understanding of media.
