CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
Text Reuse Workshop at DH Estonia 2015
21 October 2015
Hosted by the Estonian Literary Museum, Tartu, Estonia.
Organised by: Dr. Marco Büchler, Emily Franzini, Greta Franzini and
Maria Moritz (eTRAP Early Career Research Group).
The
Conference on translingual and transcultural digital
humanities [
http://www.folklore.ee/dh/en/events/dh_conference_estonia_2015/]
is hosting a one-day Text Reuse Workshop for participants
interested in learning more about semi-automatic detection of text
reuse in digital textual corpora. The workshop builds on eTRAP’s
research activities, some of which deploy Marco Büchler’s TRACER
tool. TRACER is a suite of algorithms aimed at investigating text
reuse in multifarious corpora, be those prose, poetry, in Arabic or
Estonian. TRACER provides researchers with statistical information
about the texts under investigation and its integrated reuse
visualiser, the TRACER Debugger, displays occurrences of text reuse
in a more readable format for further study.
This workshop seeks to teach participants to independently
understand, use and run the TRACER tool on their own data-sets.
Eligibility & requirements
If you're interested in exploring text reuse between two or multiple
texts (in the same language) and would like to learn how to do it
semi-automatically, this workshop is for you.
In order to provide everyone with adequate (technical) assistance,
the workshop can only accommodate 10 participants.
To apply to the workshop, please send your CV and motivation letter
