商品描述

This book uniquely combines the authors' personal experiences, deep cultural and professional experience of living and working in Russia and the former USSR, and interest and experience with language and computational analysis, to shed light on a highly contemporary question: what is motivating conflict and unrest in Russia and its surrounding countries? How does Russian government suppression of information manifest in practice today, and how does it fit into the historical cultural pattern for Russia? The authors take a computational look at social and traditional media in the original languages, from Russia, Ukraine, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Poland, and the English-speaking world, to glean insights and separate fact from fiction.

This book helps readers interested in Eastern Europe to 'take the temperature' of the region today, but it is also of interest to readers in the policy and analysis community, because it offers a template, an analytical 'how-to' guide which aims to follow in the footsteps of CIA author Richards Heuer's 'Psychology of Intelligence Analysis', to show how state-of-the-art computational analysis techniques could be applied to similar problems in other topic areas, with the human analyst and computational techniques each working together to create a whole greater than the sum of its parts.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本書獨特地結合了作者們的個人經驗、在俄羅斯和前蘇聯生活和工作的深厚文化和專業經驗，以及對語言和計算分析的興趣和經驗，以揭示一個高度當代的問題：是什麼驅使俄羅斯及其周邊國家的衝突和動盪？俄羅斯政府如何實際上壓制信息，並如何符合俄羅斯的歷史文化模式？作者們從俄羅斯、烏克蘭、立陶宛、拉脫維亞、愛沙尼亞、波蘭和英語世界的社交媒體和傳統媒體中進行計算分析，以獲取洞察力並區分事實和虛構。

這本書幫助對東歐感興趣的讀者“掌握”該地區的現狀，同時也對政策和分析界的讀者具有興趣，因為它提供了一個模板，一個分析的“如何”指南，旨在效仿中央情報局作家理查德·豪爾的《情報分析心理學》，展示了如何將最先進的計算分析技術應用於其他主題領域的類似問題，人類分析師和計算技術共同合作，創造出整體大於其各個部分之和的效果。
