Big data, machine learning and its application in social science – Analysis of climate policy

Social scientists are nowadays in an era of big data, more than 80 percent of electronic data is in a text format and covers almost every area of human endeavor. This has created a significant demand for new powerful tools for its analysis as well as creating an opportunity for social scientists to reevaluate their approach to research.
