facial features, and emotion, making them useful for experimental and design applications.

compliment projects you’re working on. Dr. Ashlee Humphreys, a sociologist at Northwestern University has a site with helpful
tutorials. Plus, I highly recommend her article: Humphreys, Ashlee and Rebecca Jen-Hui Wang (2018), “Automated Text Analysis for
Consumer Research,” Journal of Consumer Research, 44 (6), 1274–1306.
