How can computers be used to answer big questions in the humanities and social sciences? Since its inception in 2009, the Digging into Data Challenge program has helped to spark exciting new research avenues for the humanities and social sciences utilizing computational techniques. Digging into Data projects span continents and traditional disciplinary boundaries. They bring together social scientists and humanists with computational and digital scholars, and they bring together researchers from different global perspectives and traditions. In this way, the Digging into Data initiative has wide impacts across academia and into industry. This conference will contribute importantly to shaping the future of the Trans-Atlantic Platform and of the Digging into Data Challenge initiative. The conference will be centered around participants from the Digging into Data funded projects and representatives from the funding agencies, but the conference will be publicized and open to the public.This conference brings together research teams from eleven countries to present their work applying large-scale computational techniques to research questions in the humanities and social sciences. The presenters will be current or past recipients of grants from The Digging into Data Challenge, a program of the Trans-Atlantic Platform for the Social Sciences and Humanities. Participating nations and funding organizations include: Argentina (MINCyT); Brazil (FAPESP); Canada (SSHRC, NSERC, FRQ); Finland (AKA); France (ANR); Germany (DFG); Mexico (CONACYT); Netherlands (NWO); Portugal (FCT); United Kingdom (AHRC, ESRC), and United States (NEH, NSF, IMLS). Researchers are working on projects in areas such as musicology, economics, linguistics, political science, and history. They will share the results of their research projects and participate in a larger discussion about the sustainability of Digging into Data and the projects that have been funded. This conference will take a longitudinal perspective on the initiative after four funding cycles, to help participating funding agencies make informed decisions about the future of this initiative.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

如何用计算机来回答人文和社会科学中的重大问题？自2009年成立以来，挖掘数据挑战计划已经帮助激发了利用计算技术的人文和社会科学令人兴奋的新研究途径。数据项目跨越了大陆和传统的学科界限。他们将社会科学家和人文主义者与计算和数字学者聚集在一起，他们将来自不同全球视角和传统的研究人员聚集在一起。通过这种方式，挖掘数据倡议在学术界和工业界产生了广泛的影响。本次会议将为塑造跨大西洋平台和挖掘数据挑战倡议的未来做出重要贡献。本次会议将以Digging into Data资助项目的参与者和资助机构的代表为中心，但会议将公开并向公众开放。本次会议汇集了来自11个国家的研究团队，展示他们将大规模计算技术应用于人文社会科学研究问题的工作。演讲者将是当前或过去的获奖者，获奖者来自跨大西洋社会科学和人文平台的一个项目“挖掘数据挑战”。参与国家和资助组织包括：阿根廷（MINCyT）;巴西（FAPESP）;加拿大（SSHRC、NSERC、FRQ）;芬兰（AKA）;法国（ANR）;德国（DFG）;墨西哥（CONACYT）;荷兰（NWO）;葡萄牙（FCT）;英国（AHRC、ESRC）和美国（NEH、NSF、IMLS）。研究人员正在研究音乐学、经济学、语言学、政治学和历史等领域的项目。他们将分享他们的研究项目的结果，并参与关于挖掘数据的可持续性和已资助的项目的更大讨论。本次会议将在四个资助周期后对该倡议进行纵向透视，以帮助参与资助机构对该倡议的未来做出明智的决定。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
