This network aims to train early-stage researchers to develop and apply innovative methodologies for Computational Analysis of Semantic Change Across Different Environments (CASCADE), i.e. to identify, analyse and interrogate how meaning is expressed in language in diverse contexts, with a shared focus on the impact of time (diachronic text analytics).CASCADE responds to a skills deficit within the academic, public and commercial sectors: the need for people able to retrieve, critically evaluate and make better use of the large volumes of textual data that characterise our contemporary information society (the 'data deluge'). The consortium is a collaboration of some of Europe's world-leading universities and companies from the United Kingdom, Belgium, Finland, Ireland, and Germany.The overall training approach will consist of beneficiaries 'matching up' to host and support 10 individual research projects, in addition to 10 secondments, and reinforced by a programme of network-wide Training Camps and Research Conventions. The key deliverables from each research project, in addition to the anticipated doctoral theses for ESRs 1 to 10, will include 12 co-authored articles for experts, Wikipedia articles for a general audience, and new software and algorithms. The network's unique selling point for potential researchers is its emphasis on computational linguistics and humanities scholarship as skills that bring value and competitive edge to organisations concerned with semantically-aware information retrieval. These organisations might be academic or commercial, involved in early stage R&D (methods development) or early adoption of new methods (methods application).

该网络旨在培养早期研究人员开发和应用创新方法，用于跨不同环境的语义变化计算分析（CASCADE），即识别、分析和询问在不同背景下如何用语言表达意义，共同关注时间的影响（历时文本分析）。CASCADE回应了学术、公共和商业部门的技能赤字：人们需要能够检索、批判性地评估和更好地利用当代信息社会特征的大量文本数据（“数据洪水”）。该联盟由来自英国、比利时、芬兰、爱尔兰和德国的一些世界领先的大学和公司组成。总的培训办法将包括受益者“配对”主持和支助10个个别研究项目，此外还有10个借调项目，并由一个全网络训练营和研究公约方案加以加强。每个研究项目的主要成果，除了预期的ESRs 1至10的博士论文外，将包括12篇针对专家的合著文章，面向普通受众的维基百科文章，以及新的软件和算法。对于潜在的研究人员来说，这个网络的独特卖点是它强调计算语言学和人文学术，这些技能为关注语义感知信息检索的组织带来价值和竞争优势。这些组织可能是学术的或商业的，参与早期的研发（方法开发）或新方法的早期采用（方法应用）。
