[Commlist] Symposium Computational Text Analysis and Historical Change

Symposium “Computational Text Analysis and Historical Change”, 4–6 sep 
2019 (Umeå)

The symposium “Computational Text Analysis and Historical Change” will 
take place on September 4–6 at Humlab (Umeå University). The starting 
point of this interdisciplinary event is as follows: Considering the 
possibility to process large amounts of text data through methods such 
as probabilistic topic models or word embeddings, how can historical 
transformations of media, culture and society be empirically measured in 
novel ways? We hope that you will join us in exploring answers to this 
questions.

We are proud to present our *five keynote speakers*:

Sarah Allison (Loyloa University)
Jo Guldi (Southern Methodist University)
David Mimno (Cornell University)
Patricia Murrieta-Flores (Lancaster University)
Mikko Tolonen (University of Helsinki)
