Zero Code Digital Humanities Text Analysis (Duke Graduate Academy short course)
This course is about analyzing texts via computational means and interpreting the results of that analysis. While it is geared toward practitioners of the digital humanities, the methods students learn here are broadly useful across disciplines. Topics will include preparing texts for research (acquisition, OCR, organization), corpus analytics, natural language processing, sentiment analysis and document classification, and topic modeling. This is a “zero-code” course, meaning that no programming or command-line usage is required. We’ll explore text analysis in a rigorous but approachable way by removing some of the technological friction that can slow our engagement with the digital humanities.
