Event: How to Automatically Detect Political Stance in Text

Path to Power Project invites you to join an offline event marking the launch of the Automated Political Stance Identification (APSI) Tool. It takes place in Potsdam, on Tuesday, 19 May, from 3:00–5:30 p.m at the Hasso Plattner Institute. 

APSI is a free, open tool that automatically scores texts on three political dimensions: economic ideology, populist rhetoric, and support for liberal democratic values.  

The event is designed for practitioners — journalists, policy makers, and NGO representatives. No technical background required. 

Join us in Potsdam for a demonstration of what APSI can do for your work: 

• Monitor media narratives and political messaging at scale 

• Identify rhetorical shifts in political discourse over time 

• Support disinformation investigations with reproducible analysis 

• Strengthen advocacy and reporting with evidence-based insights 

Register by filling out the form. If you have questions, concerns, or access needs, please contact pathtopower@hpi.de in advance of the event.
