*PLEASE FORWARD TO ALL INTERESTED PARTIES*

Just a reminder— please note the August 20 application deadline.

TADA 2021 <https://tada2021.org/> invites applications for participation
and research presentations on new work related to text-as-data methods and
applications. TADA is an interdisciplinary conference, drawing scholars
from across the social sciences, computer science, and related fields. Our
programs from past meetings (TADA 2018
<https://nlp.washington.edu/tada2018-program> and TADA 2019
<https://www.textasdata2019.net/program.html>) show the wide range of work
presented at our conference.


This year’s conference will be held at the University of Michigan and is
sponsored by the University of Michigan College of Literature, Science, and
the Arts; the Michigan Institute for Data Science; the Center for Political
Studies at the University of Michigan; the University of Michigan
Department of Political Science; and Microsoft.



Please note that each paper / poster proposal is a brief, 250-word abstract
rather than a full paper. In contrast with computer science conferences,
TADA 2021 is a non-archival conference; there is no formal proceedings, and
papers presented at the conference will not be distributed publicly.
Presenters are expected to provide a paper to their discussant by October 15
<http://airmail.calendar/2021-10-15%2012:00:00%20EDT>. We welcome any work,
so long as it hasn’t been previously presented at a TADA conference. We
also welcome individuals to volunteer to serve as discussants.



We are planning to hold TADA 2021 in a hybrid format. Participants who are
willing to travel to Ann Arbor will attend the conference in person, while
a remote option will be provided for the other participants. The conference
will consist of oral presentations and a poster session with Ph.D.
students. The conference will take place on October 28
<http://airmail.calendar/2021-10-28%2012:00:00%20EDT> and 29 during Eastern
Daylight Time business hours.



Because space is limited, we ask all interested participants to apply to
attend the conference. Applicants should indicate how they intend to
participate; i.e, by presenting a paper, presenting a poster, serving as a
discussant, or simply attending. Each individual who might attend the
conference is asked to submit a separate application; each proposed paper
should be submitted exactly once by a single contact author. Individuals
whose paper is being submitted by another should simply answer “no” to “Are
you the Contact Author for a Paper or Poster?”.



We recognize that diversity leads to stronger science, and we actively
seek, welcome, and encourage people with diverse backgrounds, experiences,
and identities to apply and attend.



*Travel and Lodging*

We anticipate having lodging options available for conference participants
to reserve directly. Limited travel funds will be made available for the
contact author of accepted papers and posters. Priority for this funding
will be given to scholars who lack their own travel funds. We will provide
guidance on booking rooms and accessing travel funds with your conference
acceptance.
