TextXD aims to:
- Foster a cross-disciplinary community of text processing experts from academia, research, and industry.
- Develop a shared understanding of each other’s use of text processing data, algorithms, and software.
- Help us learn from one another, through tutorials, and collaborative work sessions, about available tools and methods, and the applicability of these to various discipline-specific problems.

Our annual symposium is our main avenue for achieving these aims.
