摘要:

自动文本分析方法,如主题建模,在人文学科中越来越受到关注。然而,学者需要有广泛的编码技能,适当地使用这些方法。拥有这种技术专长的需要阻止了这些方法在人文科学研究中的广泛采用。在本文中,为了帮助人文学科的学者使用没有或有限的编码技能的主题建模,我们介绍了MITAO,一个基于Web的工具,允许定义一个可视化的工作流程,其中嵌入了各种自动文本分析操作,并允许存储和共享的工作流程和其执行的结果给其他研究人员,这使得分析的再现性。我们提出了一个应用程序的主题建模与MITAO使用的英文摘要的文章发表在“Umanistica Digitale”的集合的例子。MITAO返回的结果以动态的基于网络的可视化显示,这使我们能够对“Umanistica Digitale”上发表的文章中所处理的主题的演变有初步的了解。所有结果以及定义的工作流程都已发布,可供进一步研究使用。

英文摘要:

Automatic text analysis methods, such as Topic Modelling, are gaining much attention in Humanities. However, scholars need to have extensive coding skills to use such methods appropriately. The need of having this technical expertise prevents the broad adoption of these methods in Humanities research. In this paper, to help scholars in the Humanities to use Topic Modelling having no or limited coding skills, we introduce MITAO, a web-based tool that allow the definition of a visual workflow which embeds various automatic text analysis operations and allows one to store and share both the workflow and the results of its execution to other researchers, which enables the reproducibility of the analysis. We present an example of an application of use of Topic Modelling with MITAO using a collection of English abstracts of the articles published in "Umanistica Digitale". The results returned by MITAO are shown with dynamic web-based visualizations, which allowed us to have preliminary insights about the evolution of the topics treated over the time in the articles published in "Umanistica Digitale". All the results along with the defined workflows are published and accessible for further studies.
