Text Analysis Working Group

Public Group active 5 months ago

We meet every two weeks for an informal, public colloquium consisting of 2 to 3 presenters each giving a brief 10-minute talk about the use of computational text analysis to study a particular research question. Each talk is followed by an informal 10-minute discussion between the entire assembly with the purpose of offering suggestions, advice, critiques, and new resources that may be of use to the presenter.

This particular colloquium format has been adopted to (1) help individual scholars advance their own text analysis research by harnessing the collective insights and knowledge of the NYC community and (2) to provide a forum to help facilitate discussions and collaborations between computational text analysis researchers at different universities in the NYC and the surrounding areas. The group organizers work in the field of digital literary studies, but scholars employing text analysis to work on a research problem in any discipline are happily invited to present their research.

Those interested in participating as a presenter should send an email to alp445@nyu.edu with a brief abstract about the research question you wish to discuss.

      Hi everybody!

      My name is Iuri Moscardi and I am a PhD student in Comparative Literature at CUNY Graduate Center (New York).

      I am writing you because I am part of a team in a Digital Humanities class and we are building an encoding project focused on poetry. The project will develop an online webapp, end/line, which allow users to sign up, upload a poem as plain text, encode it following TEI Guidelines and then compare it with other users’ encoding of the same text. We indeed believe that encoding could be a form of close reading, and we offer the possibility to experiment encoding to all the users. The project, as said, will be focused on poetry and will be only in English, for now: we believe it could be employed also as a didactical and pedagogical tool.

      We are now looking for a group of people, with at least a basic expertise of TEI, as testers for the project: we have just started to build end/line, so the testing will be approximately at the end of March or in April. We will ask the testers to use our app, organizing online meetings or workshops, and to give us back their feedbacks.

      If someone is interested, or if requires more informations, please contact me by e-mail at imoscardi@gradcenter.cuny.edu.

      You can find some other informations about end/line on our blog (endlineproject.commons.gc.cuny.edu) or following our Twitter account (https://twitter.com/endlineproject).

      Thank you very much.
