This event focuses on concepts. More specifically, we aim to showcase the value of concept-based approaches in identifying patterns of thinking in textual data. The event’s presentations revolve around theoretical, methodological, and applied aspects of concept-led research. Theoretical approaches consider conceptual hierarchies, lexicalised and non-lexicalised concepts, an emergence of new concepts/ideas. Methodological discussions concern concept extraction in large data and conceptual tagging for new data. Applied issues revolve around archival and indexing solutions for concepts in texts, identifying discipline-specific concepts in big data, and commercialisation of conceptual research. We also plan a roundtable discussions and generous time for networking activities.
