]]> Comment on Introduction to thesis background by Day of Henriette Roued-Cunliffe » Coffee and writing http://www.roued.com/e-doc/?p=123&cpage=1#comment-1168 Day of Henriette Roued-Cunliffe » Coffee and writing Thu, 18 Mar 2010 11:06:24 +0000 http://www.roued.com/e-doc/?p=123#comment-1168 [...] We are a couple of hours into the morning and I have filled my Stelton with coffee. Now I am ready to tackle an hour of writing on my thesis. But first I want to ramble a bit about how I like to write. My thesis deadline is still a year and a half away. It seems like such a long, long time and therefore I find it difficult to pin myself down and just get on with some writing. Of course there are bit’s that I can’t write yet because I haven’t finished the work. But there are bits that I definitely can write. The introduction for example is a good place to begin. In my opinion it is one of the most important chapters. I did a bit of research into how an introduction can be written and found a good way of looking at the thesis background.

And I very much like the topic of your thesis. I am very much interested in deliberative systems in the humanities to support decision making; perhaps a similar angle. We just started a new group on our site Arts-humanities.net about social approaches to the Digital Humanities. Perhaps you would like to join here: http://www.arts-humanities.net/deliberative_humanism_social_software_digital_humanities best, Craig Hi Henriette,

I agree if would be lovely if we could use a lemmatisation tool which could go through all the un-normalised text and give us the lemma's for each, simple and easy. However, in this case we already had the lemma for each word in the index of the publication and since the aim of the project was not to find a clever way of lemmatising texts it didn't seem worth while for me to look too much into this. I am still not aware if there is a lemma analyser out there which can search through the Vindolanda Tablets so if you have one in mind I would love to hear about it.

This would be the component that sits between the extractor (pulling the strings you want from the XML), and performs language-specific analysis (tokenization, stop word removal or bi-gramming, etc.) before inserting the processed tokens (and where they came from in the document) into the database. In this case the processed tokens would be the lemma forms automatically generated from the un-normalized transcribed words, the idea being that this would easily reflect changes in document content without every document having to contain the explicit lemma for every word. I may just be being optimistic, as it seems some of the automatic lemmatizers for Greek/Latin are able to get unambiguous lemmata only perhaps half of the time, so the advantage of explicitly tagging the lemmata would be that the "correct" lemma form is used all of the time.

As an example I have built an extractor which adds all the lemma's to a database. This database then works as an index through which it is much easier to search the text. And by having the word marked up in the text we can also direct the user directly to the word in the text. I have also written a small JavaScript which then allows the user to link from the actual word in the text to the occurrence of the lemma in the database. This is just a small example of what you can do with it and I have plans for much more. I wouldn't think that there would be much more work in maintaining the marked up words in the XML than there would be maintaining a lemma dictionary. And a further advantage is that we can use this system to generate word lists and word frequency at a later point without having to do a lot of copy/paste. Hope that answered your question.

It seems to me that this would introduce a lot of repetition in trying to maintain the content and ensure consistent lemma forms.
