  • From Concepts to Texts and Back

    Open AccessAxel Pichler, Nils ReiterARTICLEJournal of Cultural Analytics2022

    This article puts operationalization as a research practice and its theoretical consequences into focus. As all sciences as well as humanities areas use concepts to describe their realm of investigation, digital humanities projects are usually faced with the challenge of ‘bridging the gap’ from theoretical concepts (whose meaning(s) depend on a certain theory and which are used to describe expectations, hypothesis and results) to results derived …

  • Zur Operationalisierung literaturwissenschaftlicher Begriffe in der algorithmischen Textanalyse. Eine Annäherung über Norbert Altenhofers hermeneutische Modellinterpretation von Kleists Das Erdbeben i…

    Axel Pichler, Nils ReiterARTICLEJournal of Literary Theory2021

    The present article discusses and reflects on possible ways of operationalizing the terminology of traditional literary studies for use in computational literary studies. By »operationalization«, we mean the development of a method for tracing a (theoretical) term back to text-surface phenomena; this is done explicitly and in a rule-based manner, involving a series of substeps. This procedure is presented in detail using as a concrete example Nor…

  • On Organizing a Shared Task for the Digital Humanities – Conclusions and Future Paths

    Open AccessEvelyn Gius, Marcus Willand et al.ARTICLEJournal of Cultural Analytics2021

    Shared tasks are a work format prevalent in the natural language processing and machine learning community. This special issue continues the reporting on the shared task SANTA (Systematic Analysis of Narrative levels Through Annotation), which has the development of annotation guidelines for narrative levels as its goal. Narrative levels, also known as embedded narrations, are omnipresent in many kinds of narrations, and one of the core concepts …

  • Reflektierte algorithmische Textanalyse

    Open AccessNils Reiter, Axel Pichler et al.BOOKReflektierte Algorithmische…2020

    The Center for Reflected Text Analytics (CRETA) develops interdisciplinary mixed methods for text analytics in the research fields of the digital humanities. This volume is a collection of text analyses from specialty fields including literary studies, linguistics, the social sciences, and philosophy. It thus offers an overview of the methodology of the reflected algorithmic analysis of literary and non-literary texts.

  • Annotation als flexibel einsetzbare Methode

    Open AccessJanis Pagel, Nils Reiter et al.CHAPTERReflektierte Algorithmische…2020

    In computational linguistics (CL), annotation is used with the goal of compiling data as the basis for machine learning approaches and automation. At the same time, in the Humanities scholars use annotation in the form of notetaking while reading texts. We claim that with the development of Digital Humanities (DH), annotation has become a method that can be utilized as a means to support interpretation and develop theories. In this paper, we show…

  • A Shared Task for the Digital Humanities Chapter 1

    Open AccessNils Reiter, Marcus Willand et al.ARTICLEJournal of Cultural Analytics2019

    Annotation guidelines for literary phenomena are a clear desideratum within the field of text-oriented digital humanities. Creating guidelines that are widely applicable, however, is almost only possible in large annotation projects, which are naturally expensive

  • A Shared Task for the Digital Humanities Chapter 3

    Open AccessMarcus Willand, Evelyn Gius et al.ARTICLEJournal of Cultural Analytics2019

    In this chapter, we give a descriptive overview of the annotation guidelines, their use of narrative level concepts, and the results of their quantitative evaluation. We will also connect some of the results to qualitative findings we uncovered during the workshop, although some references to the participants’ objectives are conjecture. Finally, the chapter contains a reflection on the annotation and evaluation procedure

  • A Shared Task for the Digital Humanities Chapter 2

    Open AccessEvelyn Gius, Nils Reiter et al.ARTICLEJournal of Cultural Analytics2019

    In this section, we will discuss our idea of guideline evaluation and the underlying considerations. Evaluating annotation guidelines in this way is a fairly new endeavor, and we have developed the evaluation setup from the ground up. Although we do not claim our choices to be universally valid or applicable, we believe that this approach to guideline evaluation is relevant for similar settings and can be adapted to projects that might have other…

  • Foreword to the Special Issue “A Shared Task for the Digital Humanities

    Open AccessEvelyn Gius, Nils Reiter et al.ARTICLEJournal of Cultural Analytics2019

    This volume is the first of two, and it documents activities that we have been conducting in the past years. They are best described as “organizing shared tasks with/in/for the digital humanities” and have evolved significantly since we started
