Hermeneuti.ca – The Rhetoric of Text Analysis

One of the features of RezoViz is that you can edit the list of nodes and connections. Here is my edit of the connections down to a weight of around 10. I removed some cases where people had multiple names or where people were mentioned authors who are not part of the community, like Mark Olsen connecting to Samuel Johnson.

Today Stéfan and I resumed our analytical sessions. We concentrated on using RezoViz with Humanist. RezoViz is a network analysis tool that Stéfan and implemented. He has written a post on RezoViz here.

We found that interpretatively it made sense to start with a low number for the "max people" and to build up seeing who is added. At about 50 for all years I started editing the list to get rid of the situations where Geoff Rockwell was closely linked to Geoffrey Rockwell.

Using this reminded me of people important to humanities computing in previous decades who have disappeared like Elaine Brennan who edited Humanist for a while with Allen Renear.

We decided in the end not to put the network anaysis of humanist into the example chapter on humanist. We want to keep the example chapters simple and short. Instead we are going to try it on Game Studies to see if that would make an interesting example.

We got feeback on our prospectus and it is positive! Hurrah! Now we have to continue writing.

One suggestion was that we have some more examples so we are thinking about what we could try. Here is a list:

• Hume's Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion
• Some current event
• Oulipian texts -
• Recapitulating Smith on Joyce's Dubliners
• Pick a secondary interpretative framework and then primary text that we try it on.
• Some example using the network visualization

Having sent out the prospectus (and keeping our fingers crossed) we are now turning back to the second experiment tentatively called "The Swallow Flies Swiftly Through." The idea is to try to understand humanities computing / digital analysis using text analysis. This uses Humanist as a corpus so it lets us work with a large corpus. It also forced us to think about how to do diachronic analysis. By creating a corpus from each year and naming them right we can get distribution graphs over time. We also, with support from the Digging Into Data challenge, developed a correspondence analysis tool that works well.

One way we are studying the corpus is looking at the words (across the corpus) that have a skew one way or another. The idea is to look for words trending up or down. Here is a simple skin I developed for going through the words with the distribution tool and KWICA concordance or keyword in context (KWIC) is usually represented as a list of occurrences of a word with some limited context shown (words to the left and words to the right). Here is an example that shows the occurrences of the word "dream" in A Midsummer Night's Dream in TACTweb: I.1/577.1 | Four nights will quickly dream away the time; | And I.1/578.2 Swift as a shadow, short as any dream; | Brief as the II.2/585.1 | Ay me, for pity! what a dream was here! | Lysander, III.2/591.1 this derision | Shall seem a dream and fruitless vision, | IV.1/593.1 as the fierce vexation of a dream. | But first I will IV.1/594.2 to me | That yet we sleep, we dream.

By playing with the settings (set TAPoRware stopwords and a Z-score of 2 or more) I can narrow the list of words down and then go through them manually.

Some things I need:

• We need a way to identify high frequency phrases like "digital humanities". I can trace the phrases, but I would like to know which frequent n-grams are out there.
• I need to understand Skew and Peakedness better. Do they really show words that trend? What do I mean by trend?
• I want to be able to export full lists of words/KWICsA concordance or keyword in context (KWIC) is usually represented as a list of occurrences of a word with some limited context shown (words to the left and words to the right). Here is an example that shows the occurrences of the word "dream" in A Midsummer Night's Dream in TACTweb: I.1/577.1 | Four nights will quickly dream away the time; | And I.1/578.2 Swift as a shadow, short as any dream; | Brief as the II.2/585.1 | Ay me, for pity! what a dream was here! | Lysander, III.2/591.1 this derision | Shall seem a dream and fruitless vision, | IV.1/593.1 as the fierce vexation of a dream. | But first I will IV.1/594.2 to me | That yet we sleep, we dream.

Return to Glossary. and so on. I know it is expensive, but it would let Voyeur work with other tools. Perhaps that is what Voyeur Notebooks will do.

Over the last couple of weeks we have had discussions about changing the name. It was pointed out to us that there are no positive senses to the word "voyeur" in English. As much as we may like the "cheeky" and visual sense of the name, it bothers many who use the tool, which was never our aim. So ... after talking with some fold we are changing the name to Voyant which in French means clairvoyant, witness, informant, gaudy, light and visible.

Now we are working with Milena to get a new graphic design.

I've gone through the online version of Now, Analyze That. Some fixes:

• We need to fix the distribution graph for Wright's use of "committed". I need a version also for the paper.
• I edited the opening as it is no longer timely.
• I added bibliographic references to the speeches.
• Check the high frequency word graph of words for both speeches.
• Check the Visual Collocate link.

Stuff now to do for the Word version.

• Create citations and footnotes where there are links.
• Create a bibliography.
• Create text versions of dynamic panels.

Other stuff:

• Issue of strange export of concordance A concordance is a gathering of passages that "concord" or agree. Usually it is a gathering of passages with a sought for word. Concordances are a form of reading tool that go back to the Middle Ages. They are typically lists of words with their appearances. A concordance for the bible, for example, would have entries for all the content words of the bible in alphabetical order. Each entry would include information about where the word appears and some context. Searching for words on a computer now typically returns a concordance called a Key Word in Context (KWIC) with the sought word down the center and a few words of context on either side. Google returns a type of concordance when you search for a word with an example of the word in context for each page it recommends. See the Wikipedia entry on Concordance (Publishing) Return to Glossary. in Voyeur. There are lines with just a bit of text.
• Do we want to have the HyperPo links? See Different and Deficient. See the strange URL - it calls TAPoR server at Mac.
• Do we have to worry about the Mac server? Should we update links?
• For the word list export it still isn't the whole list.
• What does the straight trend line tell us?
• We need a link to the Links version for visual collocation Collocation refers to the occurrence of words adjacently more often than would be expected by chance. Collocation is the relationship between two words or groups of words that often go together and form a common expression. If the expression is heard often, the words become 'glued' together in our minds. 'Crystal clear', 'middle management' 'nuclear family' and 'cosmetic surgery' are examples of collocated pairs of words. Some words are often found together because they make up a compound noun, for example 'riding boots' or 'motor cyclist'. Return to Glossary..

We had a Skype today and a general discussion on getting hermeneuti.ca back on track. We found a way to escape glossary entries. Enter ... . Some other decisions:

• We aren't going to include Recipes in the book - they will go into the Methods Commons
• We need to update the prospectus.
• Stéfan dealt with the anonymous comments issue. We were getting spam comments.

What has to be done to send out the prospectus?

• The "Introduction: Correcting Method" chapter has to be updated to have the live panels. SS (We also need a way to keep track of the differences between texts.)
• The "There's a Toy in My Essay" chapter needs to be reread and finished. GR
  • We then need to put it up online. SS
• All the bibliographic entries need to be entered. GR
• The Now Analyze That needs to converted to Word and updated GR. Then it needs to be updated with working panels. SS
• We need to figure out what to do with the Recipes. Do we include a recipe for Now Analyze That? - We decided to drop the recipes from the

Other things that need doing:

• We need a logo for the hermeneuti.ca site and Voyeur.
• We need to stop the spam comments on pages.

Who do we send it to:

• MIT Software Studies: http://mitpress.mit.edu/catalog/browse/browse.asp?btype=6&serid=179

I taught a half-day workshop on Voyeur today in Dublin at the From Metadata to Linked Data conference. (See my conference report at http://www.philosophi.ca/pmwiki.php/Main/FromMetadataToLinkedData ) Here are some thoughts on what worked and didn't.

• It is hard to have 30 people hammering on the same server at the same time. How can we design a workshop so that people don't all do the same thing?
• Many students loved the more playful tools like the Bubbles and Knots tools. We should weave that in somehow.
• I still can't reliably get all the servers to work. For reasons I can't fathom dev.voyeurtools.org:8080 didn't work .
• The new skin doesn't work as well as the old. The full-text browser doesn't reliably get triggered by other displays. One would expect the KWICA concordance or keyword in context (KWIC) is usually represented as a list of occurrences of a word with some limited context shown (words to the left and words to the right). Here is an example that shows the occurrences of the word "dream" in A Midsummer Night's Dream in TACTweb: I.1/577.1 | Four nights will quickly dream away the time; | And I.1/578.2 Swift as a shadow, short as any dream; | Brief as the II.2/585.1 | Ay me, for pity! what a dream was here! | Lysander, III.2/591.1 this derision | Shall seem a dream and fruitless vision, | IV.1/593.1 as the fierce vexation of a dream. | But first I will IV.1/594.2 to me | That yet we sleep, we dream.

• Having two word lists (corpus and document) is confusing.

Based on the workshop, here are some desirable features that came up:

• The ability to add a text to a corpus once it is indexed.
• A couple of people wanted to be able to add tools and access the code. Are we ready to make this an open source tool?
• In some cases it would make sense to give people instructions on how to install their own Voyeur server so that they can control it.
• The Links tool is still not working right. The nodes don't stick and you don't seem to be able to generate more collocates than the 5 given. It would also be nice to use colour when working with a single text (colour now indicates which text).
• People wanted a reader so we have to test that more and figure out how to explain it.
• Hiding and showing panels seems a bit capricious.
• The skin builder needs work.
• It would be nice to be able to add a tool panelWeb frameworks like the TAPoR Portal organize information into panels (sometimes called portlets or coplets.) These can me minimized, maximized and closed using the three buttons in the upper left-hand corner of the panel. With Voyant you can export panels of results and place them into other web sites. Return to Glossary. to whatever skin you have going.
• It would also be nice to be able to go to the list of tools easily in Voyeur.
• The help needs to be developed so that it is more than just a small text that tells you the obvious. We need to the links into the documentation.
• The stop word list seems to be working erratically. It would be nice to be able to add it to the whole skin and have it stick.
• Can we go from the KWICA concordance or keyword in context (KWIC) is usually represented as a list of occurrences of a word with some limited context shown (words to the left and words to the right).
