Languages Left Behind: Automated Content Analysis in Non-English Languages

Aliya Bhatia and Gabriel Nicholas from the Center for Democracy & Technology will talk about their forthcoming research into the limits and capabilities of automated content analysis in languages other than English.

We will discuss how the lack of non-English data for automated content analysis systems can have significant geopolitical implications, like content moderation, and how academics, tech companies, and civil society are trying to close the computational gaps between English and other languages.

• Aliya Bhatia is a policy analyst at the Center for Democracy & Technology (CDT)'s Free Expression team, which works to promote users’ free expression rights in the United States and around the world.

• Gabriel Nicholas is a Research Fellow at CDT, where his research focuses on automated content moderation and data governance. He is also a joint fellow at the NYU School of Law Information Law Institute and the NYU Center for Cybersecurity.
