<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Program Speaker: Gary King, Albert J.
Wetherhead III University Professor, Director of the Institute for Quantitative
Social Science, Harvard University. Gary King and colleaques
developed a computer-assisted method for the discovery of insightful
conceptualizations from unstructured text - a way of "reading" or understanding
information in massive numbers of documents that no unassisted human being
could accomplish in a lifetime of effort. Applying this new approach to
64,000 press releases from the U. S. Senate (among other data sets), they
discovered and measured "partisan taunting", a new conceptualization of how
members act. </FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
