Data Science

Hello, I am Justus Meyer zu Bexten. Since my last introduction looked more like a corporate CV, here is a more compact non-exhaustive insight. My Career After military service in Mittenwald and a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science in Jena, I moved to Leipzig for a Master’s in Data Science (interrupted by a semester abroad in Crete). Parallel to this, I was working continuously: As a software developer at Salesforce and in research at the Jena Computer Vision Group as well as the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences. Now, I am working on my own scientific endeavours through my PhD at ScaDS.AI, in continued collaboration with the MPI-CBS. ...

The 2022 Qatar World Cup was more than just a sporting spectacle; it ignited a global conversation about sports, politics, and culture. To understand how different media outlets framed this event, we embark on a fascinating journey through thousands of articles published in the Guardian and Al Jazeera between 2010 and 2023.
