Building on transformer architectures, LLMs can represent complex linguistic information through embeddings &#8211; dense numerical vectors that capture semantic, contextual, and relational meaning from text. These representations allow textual data from diverse sources &#8211; such as policy documents, survey open-ended responses, scientific publications, administrative records or social media content &#8211; to be combined with traditional quantitative variables in empirical models. The course discusses how this integration can enhance prediction, interpretation, and causal inference in social research, offering a conceptual and practical overview of how foundation models reshape the \u201ctext-as-data\u201d paradigm.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Relatrice<\/h2>\n<p>Loreta Isaraj (CNR-IRCrES)<\/p>\n<h2>Come partecipare<\/h2>\n<p>Il corso \u00e8 online e aperto al pubblico <a href=\"https:\/\/events.teams.microsoft.com\/event\/704595b4-d25f-4085-b27d-52c34d59acb1@34c64e9f-d27f-4edd-a1f0-1397f0c84f94\">previa registrazione attraverso questo modulo<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Comitato organizzatore<\/h2>\n<p>Tommaso Ismaelli, Andrea Giovanni Nuzzolese.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"btn btn-outline-primary btn-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dsu.cnr.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Locandina_8_Corso_DSU.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ottieni la locandina in formato PDF<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":12852,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"event_listing_category":[74],"class_list":["post-12850","event_listing","type-event_listing","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","event_listing_category-dsu-en"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dsu.cnr.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event_listing\/12850","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dsu.cnr.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event_listing"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dsu.cnr.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/event_listing"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dsu.cnr.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12852"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dsu.cnr.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12850"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"event_listing_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dsu.cnr.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event_listing_category?post=12850"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
