Dr. Julia Kasmire is a Research Fellow with the Cathie Marsh Institute at the University of Manchester and the UK Data Service working on the application of computational and empirical methods within social science research. She approaches this as an interesting combination of thinking like a computer (essential for data sciences) and thinking like a human (essential for social sciences) in the context of complex adaptive systems. Specifically, her research focuses on 1) automated and computational methods to collect, process, check and store data that may be large in volume, dynamic and/or complex in nature, 2) novel methods to analyse data or approach social science research questions, including simulation, virtual reality, AI and serious gaming, and 3) innovative ways to visualise research results and to better communicate outcomes and insights in ways that are impactful, memorable and useful. These interests follow on from her research background in linguistics, complex adaptive systems, and transition management within evolving complex socio-technical industries. On a personal note, she is deeply committed to equality, diversity and inclusivity and is currently dabbling with stand-up comedy as a form of science communication.

The literary and cultural studies I have conceived combines the application of different methods and modes of reading. This means, on the one hand, the close reading and the interpretion of the texts and, on the other hand, the usage of the procedures and results of the digital humanities. Knowledge and skills from the traditional humanities are thus linked to methods of large-scale data processing and data visualization – I believe this can be a fruitful relationship from which both areas can benefit greatly. As a PhD student on Literary and Cultural Studies, a member of the Hungarian Stylistic Research Group and a member of some projects in the Centre for Digital Humanties Budapest, I try to develop this kind of combination in the field of literary history and in the interpretation of texts.

Josh Nicholson is co-founder and CEO of scite (scite.ai). scite is a a deep learning platform that allows anyone to see how a scientific paper has been cited, not just how many times and, specifically, if it has been supported or contrasted by other studies. Previously, he was founder and CEO of the Winnower and CEO of Authorea (acquired 2018 by Wiley), two companies aimed at improving how scientists publish and collaborate. He holds a PhD in cell biology from Virginia Tech, where his research focused on the effects of aneuploidy on chromosome segregation in cancer.

Domenic Rosati is a researcher and software developer at scite.ai. scite.ai is a platform for discovering and evaluating scientific articles via Smart Citations. Smart Citations allow users to see how a scientific paper has been cited by providing the context of the citation and a classification describing whether it provides supporting or disputing evidence for the cited claim. Domenic Rosati received a Master of Information from Dalhousie University (2017) where he studied natural language understanding approaches to modeling discovery and litigation tasks over patent documents. His current focus is natural language processing approaches to biblometrics and citation analysis for improving discovery and evaluation of scientific documents.
