We describe a research activity carried out during January-April 2014, seeking to increase engagement between the natural language processing research community and social science scholars.In this activity, participants were offered a corpus of text relevant to the 2007-8 financial crisis and an open-ended prompt.Their responses took the form of a short paper and an optional demonstration, to which a panel of judges will respond with the goal of identifying efforts with the greatest potential for future interdisciplinary collaboration.
