The UC Berkeley Digital Humanities Working Group is a research community founded to facilitate interdisciplinary conversations in the digital humanities and cultural analytics. Our gatherings are participant driven and provide a place for sharing research ideas (including brainstorming new ideas and receiving feedback from others), learning about the intersection of computational methods and humanistic inquiry, and connecting with others working in this space at Berkeley. We encourage everyone to participate, regardless of your experience level. The DH Working Group is a welcoming and supportive community for all things digital humanities.

Introduction to OpenCV in Python for Processing Videos
by Leah Lee
Videos and images are quickly becoming the most common type of data we store and interact with. Computer vision technologies derive useful information from these forms of data and are now commonly used in health care, agriculture, transportation, and security. OpenCV is a powerful tool for image processing and computer vision tasks. In this blog post, we will explore how we can use OpenCV in Python to carry out basic computer vision tasks. Specifically, we’ll focus on the simple task of identifying an object from a video and labeling a frame with a box around the object.
The San Benito County Public Health Services Department works in partnership with the community to ensure optimal health and well-being of all people by preventing disease, injury, and disability, promoting physical and mental health, and protecting from health hazards. San Benito County PH wants to work on a project using a rich COVID dataset. The initial project uses a COVID dataset and incorporates analysis for mapping/visualizing the data. The assigned Epidemiologist has identified a specific project using spatial GIS software to develop a cluster/spatial analysis of COVID cases for a learning experience suitable for a Master’s-level student.
We are delighted to announce our Data Science Discovery Symposium, a showcase of over 130 research projects from various domains such as healthcare, environmental science, industry, and social impact. This is a great opportunity for you to network with student researchers and learn from their experiences working with partners from academia, government, non-profit organizations, and industry.

Coming in 2024, California Research Bureau is launching CRB Nexus: Where Policy Meets Research! CRB Nexus is a community of practice for policy staff and researchers across California to initiate and build relationships, share policy needs and solutions, and find ways to move those ideas into action to benefit all Californians.
Together with co-hosts UC Berkeley Institute for Governmental Studies and UC Irvine School of Social Ecology, CRB Nexus will host 9 virtual events in 2024 featuring partner-recommended researchers by policy area.
The mission of the California Research Bureau is to provide nonpartisan and confidential public policy research for the Governor’s Office and the State Legislature and to advance equitable access via statewide initiatives.
