   This special four-week workshop series will bring together researchers from
   a variety of disciplines in an emerging area— the use of automated analysis
   of texts to address questions in the social sciences. Researchers today have
   at their disposal powerful computational tools that can analyze vast
   repositories of digital content to track the occurrence of words or topics of
   interest. Scholars are mining newspapers, legal and governmental texts,
   digitized books, and a wide range of other sources for insights about
   politics, finance, accounting, and the evolution of culture and language.

   The workshops will illustrate both cutting-edge methods and applications, at
   a level accessible to audience members from different fields.

   This event is free and open to the University community. No registration is
   necessary.
