Text as Data – eScience Special Interest Group
Summary
Text is a ubiquitous and valued data source in the computer and information sciences, many areas of the natural and social sciences, engineering, business and more. This eScience Special Interest Group is for students, faculty and researchers interested in sharing and learning about UW research and teaching that uses text as data. The group’s objectives include:
- Promote connections, conversations and collaborations among domains with text-as-data interests on the UW campus
- Provide a forum for sharing research and receiving feedback
- Learn about new research advances, data, and funding opportunities
- Provide a forum discussing teaching resources and pedagogy
- Discuss methods and software tools for processing and understanding text as data
