Word Vectors for the Thoughtful Humanist: Institutes on Critical Teaching and Research with Vector Space Models
A series of four three-day institutes for a total of 72 participants on the use of word embedding models for textual analysis. The three-day institutes would be hosted by Northeastern University.
The Northeastern University Women Writers Project seeks funding for a three-year institute series on word embedding models, to overcome barriers to entry for humanist researchers and teachers. We plan four institutes in all: two aimed at teachers and two aimed at researchers, with a novice and intermediate event for each audience. Each event will be followed by a three-month period of virtual discussion and consultation with WWP staff and fellow participants, and sharing of research and teaching outcomes.
