# About the Workshop

LaTeCH-CLfL 2017 will put in the same room two events with a similar research focus and with some tradition: the SIGHUM Workshops on Language Technology for Cultural Heritage, Social Sciences, and Humanities (LaTeCH, https://sighum.wordpress.com/events/latech-2016/) and the ACL Workshops on Computational Linguistics for Literature (CLfL, https://sites.google.com/site/clfl2016/).

LaTeCH-CLfL 2017 will feature an invited talk. Andrew Piper from McGill University will speak about characterisation in literary texts.
