Dear All, Just to bring to your attention this great opportunity for a PhD on AI & personalised media content with Prof Yeung, University of Birmingham. Do note the deadline (4th June) and kindly circulate among your networks. PhD Vacancy - AI & Personalised Media Content Prof Karen Yeung (University of Birmingham) in partnership with the BBC is now recruiting for a PhD student to undertake a project entitled ‘How can the BBC employ artificial intelligence to deliver personalised media content recommendations responsibly?’ This project is funded by the AHRC (Arts and Humanities Research Council).

In terms of video, the best software out there (in my experience) are Transana (https://www.transana.com/) and ELAN ( https://tla.mpi.nl/tools/tla-tools/elan/).
Both are specifically for video analysis and allow syncing of multiple video or audio streams. They differ in terms of the types of analysis they are geared towards.
I prefer Transana as it works well for large data sets so you can code across files and assemble "collections" of different video segments - so can do a grounded theory analysis (for example) similar to what NVIVO allows. It also has a multiuser version that I am trying out with my team now (but I'm not terribly impressed so far).
The main appeal of ELAN is that you can code (horizontally) along the video timeline, which is really nice for detailed multimodal (or multilayered) data.
You can find some of my writing on using video analysis to examine digital activity in classrooms, including syncing multiple views (specifically on-screen and around computers): https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Roberto_De_Roock
Happy to answer any questions.
Cheers,
Roberto

Dear all,
I am a PhD candidate in Science, technology, society at UQAM (Université du Québec à Montréal) as well as the coordinator of a research infrastructure we are putting in place to study the use of digital technologies and medias through thick data approaches. As such, we plan to have a lot of video data - wether on field or at the lab - and we are looking for a software or a tool that would help us analyze this data. Basically, we are looking for something where we could annotate the video (something like NVivo but better suited for video) while integrating other layers of data (ex. the verbatim of the interview), possibly by synchronizing these layers together (if that is possible). We were wondering if such a tool might exist, and if yes, what might be some of your suggestions?
We are also planning to have data extracted from social media, web sites or forums. About the forums, we were wondering if there was any tool (like a web-scraper maybe?) that could help us extract publications/conversations automatically through some filters?
Thank you very much for your help! We are looking forward to make this new research space running.
