3rd Annual Text as Data Conference
October 5-6, 2012

This year to be held at Harvard University, we once again bring together inter-disciplinary researchers from political science, computer science and linguistics to investigate new approaches to utilizing text in political science research. Recent developments in digital archiving as well as breakthroughs in automatic language-processing methodologies are creating unprecedented opportunities for searching, categorizing, and extracting political information from text. Researchers from various fields are beginning explore these opportunities, but progress has been hampered by the typical problems of inter-disciplinary research endeavors: researchers with domain expertise may lack a deep understanding of appropriate methods, while methodological experts may lack a deep appreciation of the research questions that such methods may help to address. The purpose of this gathering is to continue efforts to bridge this gap.
