<br />
The ACL Special Interest Group on Language Technologies for the Socio-Economic Sciences and Humanities (SIGHUM)<br />
is intended to provide a forum for CL researchers who are developing language technology for data from the socio-economic sciences or the humanities (SSH). It also functions as a contact point for SSH stakeholders. <br />

=== Board ===<br />
<br />
We solicited nominations for the new board in September/October 2015 via the SIGHUM mailing list. Since only one nomination was<br />
received for each of the positions, no elections were held. The new board started its work on January 1st, 2016.<br />
