From the publisher (Cambridge University Press): The Dangerous Art of Text Mining celebrates the bold new research now possible because of text mining: the art of counting words over time. However, this book also presents a warning: without help from the humanities, data science can distort the past and lead to perilous errors….The book ends with an impassioned vision of what text mining in defence of democracy would look like, and why humanists need to be involved.

Please RSVP by 3 PM on April 25 for a lunch.
