We've been (slowly) updating resources for Mapping Texts.

One thing we're excited about is the "Fixes" section of the website. When writing the book, we knew a code-forward book would run into issues (esp as dependencies are updated). So, we will post fixes as errors pop up.

We test the code quarterly, but anyone can submit issues through the site or email. We welcome general feedback as well.

I also recently added several pretrained (static and diachronic) embedding models to the R package text2map.pretrained

https://culturalcartography.gitlab.io/text2map.pretrained/

Anyone who wants to play around with some well-known embedding models (like the HistWords COHA diachronic embeddings) can get up and running in R in a few minutes!

"But Kay’s situation is also unusual: For one, she sued the Rover for defamation. And documents made public recently as part of the lawsuit point the finger at not just the student publication but others at the university. The documents suggest that Notre Dame students, faculty, and alumni worked behind the scenes to amplify Kay’s statements and draw public outrage."

"We are seeking funds to offset the additional costs of Prof Kay’s lawsuit against the Irish Rover, and for costs to ensure her safety and security as she continues to try to ensure that academic freedom and safety are prioritized not only for herself but for all Notre Dame faculty, staff and students."

My paper, "A Tool Kit for Relation Induction in Text Analysis" with @mtaylor_soc and Jennifer Dudley is published at Sociological Methods & Research

https://doi.org/10.1177/00491241241233242

We provide an introduction to several techniques for "inducing" semantic relations (like similarity, hierarchy, entailment, and stereotype) from word embeddings and then using them as gradational measures of conceptual engagement at the document-level.

As a running example, we recollected (as best we could) the New York Times articles used to create the well-known Dynamics of Collective Action (DoCA) dataset. We provide the document-term matrix and the metadata for the DoCA corpus here: https://zenodo.org/records/8415049

Is anyone aware of a plaintext spellchecker library for Middle English?

I feel like I might've imagined it...
