The recent growth of socially interesting data logs generated by modern media usage could hardly be overlooked by social scientists. However, traditional social scientists analytical techniques cannot cope with databases of such large size. The fledging interdisciplinary field of Computational Social Science (CSS) includes automated information extraction as one of its foci. CSS lies at the intersection of social science, computational science, and complexity science.
The new Lipari School on Computational Social Science will address this topic through seminar sessions by world-class researchers in the field. The "Text and Decisions" theme of this 2011 edition will focus on text and data mining techniques to support decision processes in the realm of social science.
Application deadline: May 29, 2011.
