Digging by Debating: linking massive datasets to specific arguments Project

Name Digging by Debating: linking massive datasets to specific arguments
Homepage http://diggingbydebating.org/
Description Project's goal is to develop ways of searching and visualizing the interactions between humanities and sciences based on models of argumentation by means of tool generation. The research behind this project looks to establish what volume of collections of text (such as HathiTrust/GoogleBooks collection) can support the kinds of detailed argumentative analysis that is central to scholarly research and public discussion of science and humanities. It suggests: linking contact points between philosophy and the sciences; topic modeling to identify rich content in a chosen topic; identifying and mapping key arguments by novel analysis framework for propositions and arguments, and sentence modeling to get back to HathiTrust materials.
