Computational communication is an interdisciplinary research field situated at the intersection of communication studies and computational sciences. It is defined by its application of quantitative methods, data science techniques, and algorithmic approaches to analyze and understand communication phenomena. This field investigates the antecedents, processes, and consequences of communication behaviors, leveraging large-scale data and computational models to uncover patterns, dynamics, and effects within complex communication systems. Its significance lies in enabling rigorous, data-intensive investigations that provide novel insights into communication processes and their societal impact.
