Event Details
This is a two-day conference on "transparent text"-- that is, ways to make large collections of documents understandable to a wide audience. The event will feature a number of invited talks by people who have done pioneering work around making text accessible. We think that making sense of large bodies of text is key to the future of transparency, and see this conference as an opportunity to jumpstart discussion around this topic.
More information is available here.
