Digital Humanities Research Network Meetup: Workshop Report on Quantitative Studies of Philosophy
Josh Wilson-Black will present a report from the recent two-day workshop “Quantitative Studies of Philosophy” in which a variety of exciting digital humanities projects in philosophy were presented. He’ll describe some of the work which was presented, including his own (supported by an ADL seed fund). There’s corpus building, topic modelling, laborious creation of ground truth corpora, and creation of networks from textual mentions, citations and acknowledgements. These tools were applied across a range of philosophical traditions and historical eras and to contemporary philosophy.
1-2 pm Thursday 26 September, in Elsie Locke 313.
