Thirty high school and college students from five countries around the world took part in the Antisemitism Datathon and Hackathon, a virtual workshop and competition designed to teach students how to recognize antisemitism online and how to use programming to analyze large amounts of data.
The workshop was created and organized by two Indiana University professors, Damir Cavar and Günther Jikeli, who conducted the workshop sessions online through video chat over three Sunday sessions in May.
Cavar, an associate professor in the linguistics department in the IU Bloomington College of Arts and Sciences, works in the Natural Language Processing Lab, which combines the fields of linguistics and computer science by using computers to analyze and make sense of large amounts of language data.
