Stephanie Govaerts2026-07-17 10:00:002026-08-04 10:01:18GENOME: A New Geopolitical Event Methodology and Dataset using Large Language ModelsThe Datalab treats reports as carefully designed products that translate quantitative research into clear, qualitative insight that is credible, interpretable, and policy or scientifically relevant. By combining quantitative analysis with qualitative interpretation and contextualization, we produce publications that go beyond presenting results: they explain meaning, surface implications, and structure strategic or scientific debate. We structure our publications along the same three scientific areas that define the Datalab’s work: Natural Language Processing, Surveying, and Modelling.
Natural Language Processing
Developing computational methods to extract, structure and analyse meaning from large text corpora, advancing how geopolitical events, signals and narratives can be measured empirically.
