Talk Series on Digital Tools for Sinology and Beyond (II)

In the second instalment of the talk series, the TEXTCOURT Project is pleased to have Dr. Chijui Hu share with us the application of the Corpus Grams Tool developed by DocuSky. In this talk entitled "A Text-Mining Approach of Authorship Attribution through DocuSky Corpus Grams Tool," Dr. Hu will introduce how humanities researchers use the Corpus Grams Tool to analyse and mine the texts. Using the N-Gram function in the DocuSky Collaboration Platform developed by the Research Center for Digital Humanities of National Taiwan University, one can determine the author (authorship attribution) and identify the crucial concepts of a given text. Through the demo of the Corpus Grams Tool developed by Dr. Hsiehchang Tu, this talk will show us that one can easily apply digital tools in their research without any prior knowledge of information science.
