Hi everyone Instats is excited to offer a 1-day seminar, AI-Powered Qualitative Analysis in R <https://instats.org/seminar/ai-powered-qualitative-analysis-in-r>, livestreaming December 12 and led by professor Kenneth Benoit and Seraphine Maerz. This intensive workshop demonstrates how large language models can transform qualitative research by harnessing the new R packages quallmer and ellmer to annotate texts, images, audio, video, PDFs, and tabular data—no prior R experience required. Through guided demonstrations and hands-on exercises, participants will craft reliable prompts, connect to OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, and open-source models, validate AI-assisted coding against human judgments, and build reproducible, publication-ready pipelines. The seminar also covers ethical and secure data handling, troubleshooting best practices, and techniques for integrating AI outputs into reflexive qualitative analysis, providing a flexible alternative to conventional qualitative software. Register for the companion Fine-Tuning LLMs for Text Analysis <https://instats.org/seminar/fine-tuning-llms-for-text-analysis> running December 16 and receive a 10% discount on both seminars.
Sign up today <https://instats.org//seminar/ai-powered-qualitative-analysis-in-r> to secure your spot, and feel free to share this opportunity with colleagues and students who might benefit!
