DESCRIPTION:This presentation is based on a collaborative research project
  with Tadashi Iwami (Hokkaido University) and Marc Barcelos (Aarhus Univer
 sity)\, exploring how Japan’s longest-serving prime minister Abe Shinzō
  strategically used emotional rhetoric to garner international support for
  his Free and Open Indo-Pacific (FOIP) vision. The study introduces an inn
 ovative methodology using Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Trans
 formers (BERT)\, a machine learning model capable of detecting and analysi
 ng syntax-sensitive emotional expressions in texts. Alongside presenting k
 ey findings\, the talk offers a critical reflection on the opportunities a
 nd limitations of AI-based approaches to discourse analysis of Japanese te
 xts\, highlighting the important role Japan Studies can play in shaping sc
 holarly engagement with digital transformation and computational methods i
 n the humanities and social sciences.\nSpeakers:\nProfessor Raymond Yamamo
