The dissertation, titled "Applying Automatic Language Processing To Investigate The Coverage Of Inter-Ethnic Relations And Other Socially Problematic Topics In Large Collections Of User-Generated Texts," explores the applicability of a wide range of new variations of machine learning algorithms to the interpretable analysis of these representations. The algorithms are divided into two groups: thematic modeling aimed at identifying implicit contexts of mentioning ethnic groups and relationships between them, and classification algorithms aimed at identifying predefined classes of attitudes toward ethnic groups.
