Summary

This roundtable discussion, part of the LabEx ASLAN Inter-Transdisciplinarity day, brings together researchers from three projects (GEODE, ODIMEDI, LEXGAME) to reflect on the challenges and benefits of interdisciplinary collaboration. The conversation covers the nature of skills brought by each discipline, the risks of AI, moments of tension, and the issue of maintaining digital tools. Participants share their experiences: the difficulty of publishing interdisciplinary work, the friction between research and industry approaches, the tension between singularity and categorization, and the problem of sustaining projects after funding ends. They emphasize the importance of dialectical tension and the need for training in managing interdisciplinary teams. The discussion also touches on the role of AI, with concerns about hype and the need for critical evaluation. Overall, the roundtable provides a candid look at the practical and epistemological challenges of interdisciplinary research in the humanities and computer science.

Critical Evaluation

Value of the Information & Strength of the Argument

The value of the information lies in the authentic, experience-based insights from researchers actively engaged in interdisciplinary projects. They provide concrete examples of tensions, such as the conflict between research ethics and industry-driven design, and the challenge of reconciling singular linguistic phenomena with the need for large-scale categorization in computational models. The argumentation is solid, as participants build on each other’s points and offer nuanced perspectives, such as questioning whether AI risks are unique to interdisciplinarity. However, the discussion is largely anecdotal and lacks systematic evidence or references to literature, which limits its generalizability.

Scientific Rigor, Source Quality, Title Accuracy

The scientific rigor is moderate: the participants are credible researchers, but they do not cite specific studies or sources during the discussion. The only source provided is the link to the LabEx ASLAN event page, which is relevant but not a scientific reference. The title accurately reflects the content, as it is indeed a roundtable with the named participants. The discussion is well-structured and covers the announced topics, but the lack of formal citations and the reliance on personal experience reduce its scientific weight.
