About the scholarship

This project utilizes cutting-edge AI tools to examine the relationship between news-implied climate sentiment and economic behaviour. You'll work with three datasets: (1) climate change articles, (2) climate reports, and (3) official economic reports. Using Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Large Language Models (LLMs), you'll build tools to measure the climate sentiment and study how it is related to other factors. You will gain hands-on experience with Python NLP tools and LLMs, skills in data scraping, preprocessing, and cross-domain text analysis, exposure to interdisciplinary research at the intersection of AI, climate science, and economics, and the chance to co-author a research paper or technical report.
