    • “Humanities” Keyword Sub-Team -- (Led by: TBD; Members: TBD) Analyzes materials collected by searching for the word "humanities"
      • Review LexisNexis data from the summer; determine what else we need to collect and collect it

    • Other Keywords Sub-Team -- (Led by: TBD; Members: TBD)  Analyzes materials collected through experiments with other search terms/phrases

(Note: This team is associated with the WE1S Curriculum Lab led by Abigail. The Curriculum lab will assist with IRB-related research. Also, If the linguistics sub-team consisting of Chloe Willis and Sandra Auderset proceeds, it could be coordinated with the "Students and the Humanities Team.")

  • (4) Interpretation Lab Team (Led by Dan Baciu; Members: Su, Isaac, Ryan, Sean, Cindy, Sihwa) 
    • Development of Interpretation Protocol for topic modeling; methods of exploration and validation to support the protocol (plus experimentation with related other methods such as topic modeling over time, structured data extraction and Wikification)

 

  • Word Embedding Sub-Team (Fabian offert, Teddy Roland, Isaac, Su, Ryan)
    • Data Visualization Sub-Team (Sihwa Park, Cindy Kang) 

    • "Random" Corpus Sub-Team (Led by Lindsay Thomas; Members: U. Miami RAs, Ray
