Description
Beyond the Black Box Workshop: Stylometric Analysis with Stylo
Dr Maciej Eder, Institute of Polish Language (Polish Academy of Sciences)
Stylo is a script package for R which allows users to perform statistical analysis on text files to explore stylistic similarities between texts in the service of, for instance, authorship attribution. Stylo comes with a graphical user interface and, for more experienced users, can also be used directly from an R prompt. This workshop will show users how to set up textual corpora for use in Stylo, how to perform basic operations and how to interpret the graphical results.
This workshop will require participants to bring their own laptops.
