Digital Scholarship Symposium 2019 – (Re-)Mining Text: From Traditional to Digital (19 March 2019)

Published on 08/08/2022

The Hong Kong Literature Research Centre and CUHK Library is co-organizing the second Digital Scholarship Symposium, titled “(Re-)Mining Text: From Traditional to Digital” on 19 March 2019 (Tuesday).  This Symposium aims to explore the techniques and applications of text mining in the new era.  Researchers mine text in a microscopic way using traditional research methods.  But with techniques developed in digital scholarship, they can re-mine the text from a macroscopic perspective.

The one-day Symposium will have a keynote speech given by Professor J. Stephen Downie, Professor and Associate Dean for Research, School of Information Sciences at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and the Illinois Co-Director of the HathiTrust Research Center. The three panels in the Symposium on English Text and Social Media, Hong Kong Literature, and Chinese Text will have scholars from the National Taiwan University, Leiden University, CUHK, and universities in Hong Kong to share their research projects on text mining.  More details of the Symposium can be found in the DS Symposium webpage.
