Meeting Description:

Data Driven Approach to Networks and Language
Lyon, France, 11-13 May 2016

Website: http://netspringlyon.fr

Scope and Topics:

The first aim of this workshop is to enhance our understanding of the links
between individuals, social structure, and language usage. These questions
should be addressed by the detailed analysis of recently available large
digital datasets, like ones collected in Twitter and other systems. These
datasets include the social interactions and the utterances of a large number
of individuals, which allows for the coupled analysis of the social network
and language variation and change as a function of time. Our goal is to
contribute to the interdisciplinary fields of computational sociolinguistics,
network science, data-driven and computational approaches to language and
social network. We will bring together researchers focusing on network
linguistics, from different fields: machine learning, data analytics, data
mining, computational modeling, large-scale graph-structured high-dimensional
data, low-dimensional representations by dimensionality reduction. A second
objective of the workshop will be to discuss about these types of methods,
which follow often from a data driven approach, especially for their
application to social media dataset.
