Machine-assisted topic analysis (MATA) is an approach to qualitative research that uses artificial intelligence (AI) methods to analyze textual data. As the role of AI continues to become more prevalent, this has become a topic of interest for clients and researchers looking to analyze large text-based datasets.
In this round table discussion, the facilitator aims to review the ways in which IFD&TC attendees have used MATA in their research as well as the associated strengths and weaknesses from their perspectives. Participants will discuss their experiences with machine-assisted topic analysis as well as the methods and technologies used to do this work.
