TEXT: Content Attention and Engagement

Projects in the Text theme aim to develop a deeper understanding of how users engage with media content, what content factors may predict content success, and how to create content summaries.

We use controlled lab experiments and other social science methods, as well as machine learning, natural language processing, and statistical modeling to analyze human attention and interaction as it occurs in the real world.
