Awesome! Our new paper in #DHQ has been published!

It discusses three measures of #keyness (or #distinctiveness) when applied to #subgenres of the #French #novel.

The twist is that we perform a #qualitative #evaluation of the measures by relating each list of keywords to a set of characteristics of each subgenre built from reading scholarly publications on the subgenres.

Bottom line: choosing a measure makes a huge difference!

Wisst ihr noch nicht, in welche Session ihr um 11 Uhr gehen wollt? Dann kommt doch zur Session "CLS Methoden II" in Hörsaal D3!

Neben Janina Jacke zu Argumentvisualisierung und Nora Ketschik zu Netzwerkanalyse wird dort auch Julia Dudar aus einem Trierer @tcdh Projekt "Beyond Words" sprechen: "Exploring Measures of Distinctiveness: An Evaluation Using Synthetic Texts".

Heute startet die #DHd2025 in #Bielefeld & das TCDH ist auch mit dabei đŸ„ł

Am Mittwoch finden zwei VortrÀge von uns statt: #Keyness in Subgenres des französischen Romans & Exploring Measures of #Distinctiveness.

Außerdem prĂ€sentieren wir im Rahmen der #Postersession zwei Poster zu #Shakespeare-Übersetzungen & zu kontrollierten Vokabularen im #LODinG-Projekt.

Alle Infos zu den VortrÀgen & Postern haben wir in folgendem Artikel zusammengetragen: https://tcdh.uni-trier.de/de/event/das-tcdh-bei-der-dhd2025-bielefeld

Quick post on how an old #dataset from #topic modeling of #French plays taught me something about topics in French plays, but also about the (sometimes) unity of teaching and research...: https://dragonfly.hypotheses.org/1529

Teaching and Research, or: a Post-scriptum to ‘Topic Modeling Genre’

Wouldn’t it be nice if teaching and research could always be closely connected? And I don’t just mean students benefitting from their instructors being active researchers. I also mean it the other way around, with researchers benefitting from the work they are doing with the students. The true Einheit von Forschung und Lehre (i.e., the unity of research and teaching)...

My own talk, just now, was on “Keyness in Computational Literary Studies: History, Definitions and Evaluation”.

You find the presentation here: https://dhtrier.quarto.pub/montpellier

It is based on work with @dudarjulia, @cnDuKeli, Julia Röttgermann and @julianschroeter.
