Using the Distant Reader

Register through Hesburgh Libraries

Offered by the Navari Family Center for Digital Scholarship, learn how to automatically "read" and "analyze" any sized corpora of textual materials.

Learn how to automatically "read" & "analyze" an arbitrarily large corpora of textual materials. The Distant Reader, a locally written system, can accept as input large numbers of files of just about any type. It then creates a corpus from the input, converts it into plain text, does natural language processing against the plain text, and outputs sets of reports enabling you to use & understand the corpora to a greater degree.

Useful to anybody across campus who needs to read large volumes of materials, this hands-on workshop will help you take control of your content.

Open to Graduate Students, Undergraduates, Faculty, Staff, Postdocs
