AI总结：
本文介绍定量批评实验室，运用生物信息学方法（如序列比对）研究拉丁文学中的互文性，以检测非精确词语相似性，并可推广至其他语言。
摘要：
本文介绍了定量批评实验室，这是一个由古典学家、定量生物学家和计算机科学家组成的合作项目，旨在将科学领域的思想和方法应用于文学研究。该项目的核心目标之一是运用计算生物学、自然语言处理和机器学习技术来研究作者风格、互文性以及相关的文学意义现象。作为我们方法的一个案例研究，本文回顾了序列比对（基因组学和计算语言学中的一种常用技术）在拉丁文学中检测互文性的应用。序列比对的独特之处在于它能够发现不完全精确的词语相似性，这使其非常适合识别大型拉丁语文本语料库中的语音回声。尽管序列比对尤其适用于拉丁语，但原则上它可以扩展到许多其他语言。
英文摘要：
This paper describes the Quantitative Criticism Lab, a collaborative initiative between classicists, quantitative biologists, and computer scientists to apply ideas and methods drawn from the sciences to the study of literature. A core goal of the project is the use of computational biology, natural language processing, and machine learning techniques to investigate authorial style, intertextuality, and related phenomena of literary significance. As a case study in our approach, here we review the use of sequence alignment, a common technique in genomics and computational linguistics, to detect intertextuality in Latin literature. Sequence alignment is distinguished by its ability to find inexact verbal similarities, which makes it ideal for identifying phonetic echoes in large corpora of Latin texts. Although especially suited to Latin, sequence alignment in principle can be extended to many other languages.
