New Directions in Analyzing Text as Data
Text as Data 2026
Monday, October 5, 2026
UC Berkeley
Submissions open through August 1
The New Directions in Analyzing Text as Data (TADA) meeting is a leading forum for interdisciplinary research on the study of politics, society, and culture through computational analysis of documents. Recent advances in NLP have the potential to revolutionize how we study human society. But using these tools effectively, reliably, and equitably requires continuous dialog between experts across computational methods, social sciences, and the humanities.
