Cultural Data Analytics Conference 2023 / CUDAN 2023

La conférence Cultural Data Analytics 2023 / CUDAN 2023 est prévue à Tallinn, en Estonie, du 13 au 16 décembre 2023, incluant un certain nombre de spécialistes invités de premier plan, des conférences longues évaluées par les pairs et des contributions éclair+poster de la communauté. La conférence est organisée par le projet de chaire ERA pour l’analyse des données culturelles à l’Université de Tallinn, généreusement financé par la Commission européenne. Inspiré par les premiers grands rassemblements de la communauté de l’analyse culturelle, y compris UCLA/IPAM 2016, et les conférences multidisciplinaires telles que NetSci, IC2S2, ou CCS, elle vise à rassembler les chercheurs et les praticiens qui utilisent des méthodes d’analyse des données culturelles pour comprendre les cultures et la production culturelle. Cela inclut en particulier des combinaisons multidisciplinaires de quantification, d’enquête qualitative, d’analyse informatique et de visualisation pour donner un sens à de grands ensembles de données culturelles, y compris visuelles, audiovisuelles, linguistiques et d’autres genres de matériaux socioculturels.

La conférence sera retransmise en direct, les liens de retransmission apparaîtront ici dans la matinée du 14 décembre, à 8h45, heure de Tallinn:
