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.

Keynote Speakers:

- Stéphanie Barbu (UMR 6552 EthoS)
- Richard Benton (University of Illinois)
- Jacob Eisenstein (Georgia Tech)
- Alfred Hero (University of Michigan)
- José M. F. Moura (Carnegie Mellon University)

Workshop on Data Driven Approach to Networks and Language to present their
work. 

Important Dates:

Network Science Thematic Semester:

The thematic semester on Network Science is organized by the DANTE Inria team
(Ecole Normale Supérieure de Lyon, Université Claude Bernard (Lyon 1), CNRS,
Laboratoire de l’Informatique du Parallélisme - UMR5668), the SiSyPhe team
(Ecole normale supérieure de Lyon, Université Claude Bernard (Lyon 1), CNRS,
Laboratoire de Physique - UMR5672), the Centre de Physique Théorique -
UMR-7332, the Excellence Laboratory MILYON - Mathematics and Fundamental
Computer Science in Lyon, the Institute of Scientific Interchange - (ISI) and
the IXXI (Complex Systems Institute in Rhône-Alpes). 

This program intends to cover both the basics of and recent advances in
Network Science and Data Analytics for Networks. We welcome participants from
graduate student level to the level of experts in the subject. Limited number
of travelling support for students is available (through the organizers).
