What is ELTeC all about?

The final Training School of the Distant Reading for European Literary History COST Action (CA16204) will be held under the overarching topic of “Exploring ELTeC: Use-Cases for Information Extraction and Analysis”. This workshop consists of nine modules, including three lectures open to the online public, and takes a hybrid form, in which the participants can choose whether they prefer to participate in the training school in person or remotely. This is a single-track training school, therefore the participants are expected to participate in all, or at least most, sessions.

The Training School will present and teach hands-on approaches to information extraction and analysis of textual data, specifically ELTeC corpora developed within the Action. The workshops will cover various aspects of work with Named Entities and Geo-Entities, both in terms of their recognition and extraction, and their analysis, work with Wiki-ELteC data, linking (historical) data with Nodegoat, semantic analysis with word embeddings and language models, and comparing corpora with stylometry.
