AI for Social Science Research Methods Conference 2027 at Yale University
Overview
The AI for Social Science Research Methods Conference 2027 is a two-day academic gathering that explores how artificial intelligence can improve, transform, and challenge social science research methods. Co-hosted by the Data-Intensive Social Science Center, the Institution for Social and Policy Studies, and the Center for Algorithms, Data, and Market Design, the event brings together scholars to examine methodological innovations at the intersection of AI and social science. The program features research presentations, poster sessions, and discussions focused on data collection, measurement, analysis, research design, and the validation of AI-generated information.
Who can apply
The event is relevant for university academics, doctoral researchers, early-career researchers, research fellows, research methodologists, statisticians, data scientists, technology specialists, and professionals who develop or evaluate AI-supported research methods. Individuals working across sociology, economics, political science, public health, statistics, computer science, behavioural research, public policy, and related disciplines may find the conference valuable. Interdisciplinary submissions and attendees interested in computational social science and survey methodology are particularly encouraged to participate.
How to apply
Prospective participants must consult the official conference website for confirmed attendance arrangements, registration requirements, and eligibility conditions. Researchers interested in presenting their work through paper or poster submissions should review the official submission section for instructions, formatting requirements, and eligibility criteria. Submissions should address a clear methodological question related to AI and social science, explain the research problem and proposed methods, and discuss evaluation procedures, limitations, potential biases, and implications for social science inference.
Key dates
The conference takes place on April 28–29, 2027.
