FAPESP e Trans-Atlantic Platform anunciam resultado de chamada English version
Dezesseis agências internacionais de apoio à pesquisa selecionam propostas na Chamada T-AP Digging into Data Challenge 2017
A FAPESP divulga o resultado da chamada de propostas Digging into Data Challenge, lançada em junho de 2016. O objetivo da chamada foi selecionar projetos que visem investigar como técnicas computacionais avançadas aplicadas a big data podem ajudar a resolver questões de pesquisa em Ciências Humanas e Sociais. A análise de big data em Ciências Humanas e Sociais é uma das características marcantes da área denominada Humanidades Digitais, que vem crescendo em todo o mundo.
Os projetos submetidos foram propostos por equipes multinacionais de 11 países diferentes. De um total de 105 propostas, 14 foram selecionadas, com temas abrangendo um amplo leque de áreas, incluindo Musicologia, Linguística, História, Ciência Política e Economia.
Uma das propostas selecionadas é a da professora Maria Eunice Quilici Gonzalez, da Unesp, "Understanding opinion and language dynamics using massive data”. O projeto visa estudar a dinâmica de ações sociais a partir da análise de big data. A equipe do projeto é formada por pesquisadores em Linguística, Filosofia, Física, Ciência dos Dados (data science) e Direito, ilustrando a interdisciplinaridade inerente a projetos em Humanidades Digitais. O projeto inclui, ainda, pesquisadores da Argentina e da França.
Por meio da chamada, FAPESP e 15 agências de apoio à pesquisa de vários países apoiarão com aproximadamente US$ 9,2 milhões equipes internacionais que investigam como pesquisa avançada em computação de larga escala pode ser aplicada para responder questões de pesquisa das Ciências Humanas e Sociais. Essas equipes estarão dedicadas à pesquisas nas mais diversas áreas, como Musicologia, Economia, Linguística, Ciência Política e História.
Cada uma das 14 equipes vencedoras é composta por pesquisadores de diversas disciplinas, colaborando para demonstrar como técnicas avançadas em análise de big data podem ser utilizadas para investigar uma ampla gama de questões das Ciências Humanas e Sociais.
