Joint Conference on Research on Text Analytics
Text data plays a crucial role in the NFDI (National Research Data Infrastructure), particularly in the BERD@NFDI and Text+ consortia, which focus on research in Business, Economics, and Related Data (BERD@NFDI) and humanities (Text+). While these consortia cater to distinct communities and research inquiries, they share commonalities in their approaches, such as utilizing machine learning, language models, and other natural language processing techniques. The aim of the Joint Conference on Research on Text Analytics is to showcase various application domains and explore potential collaborations by examining shared methodologies.
