How to better understand value change? Use the ValueMonitor, a data driven tool developed within the TU Delft!
Designers, academia, policymakers, and communication agencies have a lot of data at their disposal seeking insight into the values associated with technologies, or when understanding shifts in values among the general public. However, time is often a limiting factor when designing for values. Tristan is working on the tool ‘Value Monitor’ to help them in this matter. Such a tool uses a Natural Language Processing (NLP) approach – specifically, topic modelling – to capture specific values through the distribution of words. The topic model makes searching for values way more effective as opposed to searching based on keywords. Tristan is currently refining the tool’s interface and can use your help to further enhance its relevance, also for academics!
