Machine-learning Protest Event Data System

53
/ 100
Established

This system helps researchers, sociologists, political scientists, and journalists create protest event datasets from news articles. It automatically identifies and codes collective action events, transforming raw news sources into structured protest data much faster and with less manual effort. The primary users are social science researchers and data journalists who analyze protest movements.

Use this if you need to quickly and efficiently generate large-scale, structured data on protest events from numerous news sources without extensive manual coding.

Not ideal if your research requires highly nuanced, qualitative interpretation of individual news articles that cannot be captured by automated event coding.
