This lecture covers the analysis of postmortem collective memory using data from news and social media. The instructor presents methods to detect names of deceased individuals, visualize data, and explore the biographic correlates of postmortem memory. Various tools and techniques, such as linear regression and cluster analysis, are used to understand the impact of different factors on memory patterns. The lecture concludes with a discussion on the significant findings and the challenges of modeling human legacies.
