Session Proposal: Topic Modelling http://kansas2013.thatcamp.org/2013/09/07/session-proposal-topic-modelling/ Sat, 07 Sep 2013 21:07:03 +0000 http://kansas2013.thatcamp.org/?p=144

(Proposal from Dawn Childress).
Can anyone talk about topic modeling in the humanities? I certainly cannot, but would love to hear others talk about their experiences, tools, methods, and projects involving topic modeling. Anyone?

Session Proposal: Data Mining and repositories http://kansas2013.thatcamp.org/2013/09/05/session-proposal-data-mining-and-repositories/ Thu, 05 Sep 2013 14:33:26 +0000 http://kansas2013.thatcamp.org/?p=111

I am interested in how repositories can make their materials usable for data mining, as well as information about how people are doing data mining in general.
