International Workshop on Text Data Science

IWTDS 2018


Artificial Intelligence



Big data, new mobile phone interfaces, simulation and databases are source of huge production of texts.
Even if text processing is not new, and computational linguistics proposed lots of interesting analytical frameworks, we face to new challenges.
First challenge is practices of humanities and social scientists with new computing tools and data that come from the digital world and in particular to consider research objects (ie documents, entities, models, knowledge, rules, meta-data ...). In most humanities and social sciences (HSS) disciplines the ground, practices and situations are strong frameworks.
Second challenge is the case of social media information. The popularity and generation of social media data is confusing. It becomes a field of experimentation in the light of social science and communication theories such as the treatment of false information, e-democracy or citizen behavior.
