Historical research methods break down when the archive is made up of millions and eventually billions of electronic messages. Keyword-searching seems like an easy fix, but it can&#8217;t recreate past worlds or reveal unexpected connections. What tools will future historians use to take on the coming avalanche of electronic records? The History Lab develops various tools that offer solutions to the problem like this one and others. In his presentation, he will discuss the rationale and goals of the History Lab as well as promises and challenges faced by the computational approach to the study of history.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/assets\/uploads\/2018\/12\/History-as-Data-Science.pdf\">Flyer<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Hosted by: Waseda Institute of Political Economy (WINPEC) and Top Global University Project, Center for Positive\/Empirical Analysis of Political Economy<br \/>\nOrganizer: Shuhei Kurizaki (Professor, the Faculty of Political Science and Economics, Waseda University, kurizaki.assistant@gmail.com)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Date and time: December 14 (Fri), 2018, 13\uff1a30-15\uff1a00 Venue: Conference Room 1 on the 10th floor of Building #3, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":4398,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[83,99],"class_list":["post-4393","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-en","tag-events-en","tag-en-eape"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4393","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4393"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4393\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4398"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4393"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4393"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4393"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
