Book Synopsis The Dangerous Art of Text Mining by : Jo Guldi
Download or read book The Dangerous Art of Text Mining written by Jo Guldi and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2023-08-31 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Dangerous Art of Text Mining celebrates the bold new research now possible because of text mining: the art of counting words over time. However, this book also presents a warning: without help from the humanities, data science can distort the past and lead to perilous errors. The book opens with a rogue's gallery of errors, then tours the ground-breaking analyses that have resulted from collaborations between humanists and data scientists. Jo Guldi explores how text mining can give a glimpse of the changing history of the past - for example, how quickly Americans forgot the history of slavery. Textual data can even prove who was responsible in Congress for silencing environmentalism over recent decades. The book ends with an impassioned vision of what text mining in defence of democracy would look like, and why humanists need to be involved.

Book Synopsis Time, Literature, and Cartography After the Spatial Turn by : Adam Barrows
Download or read book Time, Literature, and Cartography After the Spatial Turn written by Adam Barrows and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-06-01 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Time, Literature and Cartography after the Spatial Turn argues that the spatial turn in literary studies has the unexplored potential to reinvigorate the ways in which we understand time in literature. Drawing on new readings of time in a range of literary narratives, including Vladimir Nabokov’s Ada and James Joyce’s Finnegans Wake, Adam Barrows explores literature’s ability to cartographically represent the dense and tangled rhythmic processes that constitute lived spaces. Applying the insights of ecological resilience studies, as well as Henri Lefebvre’s late work on rhythm to literary representations of time, this book offers a sustained examination of literature’s “chronometric imaginary”: its capacity to map the temporal relationships between the human and the non-human, the local and the global.

Book Synopsis The Cartographic Atlas of the Brain by : Paulo Abdo do Seixo Kadri
Download or read book The Cartographic Atlas of the Brain written by Paulo Abdo do Seixo Kadri and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-12-23 with total page 461 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neuroanatomy is considered one of the most complex subjects in the field of anatomy. The reliable literature for students is limited to classical anatomical books, many of them re-editions of publications from the previous century, with black-and-white illustrations or computer-generated images. In this sense, the literature lacks a neuroanatomical atlas depicting the brain's surface anatomy and intrinsic anatomy with actual anatomical preparations. This illustrated and concise book is designed to fill the gap by providing high-quality photographs of actual anatomical preparations of the entire central nervous system. It is organized into eight chapters and presents high-definition photographs of thoroughly labeled anatomical preparations. The Cartographic Atlas of the Brain is intended to benefit medical students, residents and practitioners of Neurology, Neurosurgery, Neuroanatomy, Radiology, Neurobiology and other branches of the Neurosciences.

Book Synopsis Modern Trends in Cartography by : Jan Brus
Download or read book Modern Trends in Cartography written by Jan Brus and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-12-02 with total page 537 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fast exchange of information and knowledge are the essential conditions for successful and effective research and practical applications in cartography. For successful research development, it is necessary to follow trends not only in this domain, but also try to adapt new trends and technologies from other areas. Trends in cartography are also quite often topics of many conferences which have the main aim to link research, education and application experts in cartography and GIS&T into one large platform. Such the right place for exchange and sharing of knowledge and skills was also the CARTOCON2014 conference, which took place in Olomouc, Czech Republic, in February 2014 and this book is a compilation of the best and most interesting contributions. The book content consists of four parts. The first part New approaches in map and atlas making collects studies about innovative ways in map production and atlases compilation. Following part of the book Progress in web cartography brings examples and tools for web map presentation. The third part Advanced methods in map use includes achievement of eye-tracking research and users’ issues. The final part Cartography in practice and research is a clear evidence that cartography and maps played the significant role in many geosciences and in many branches of the society. Each individual paper is original and has its place in cartography.
Book Synopsis A Criterial Approach to the Cartography of V2 by : Giuseppe Samo
Download or read book A Criterial Approach to the Cartography of V2 written by Giuseppe Samo and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2019-12-05 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides a mechanism to uncover the extremely rich split-CP of V2 languages, in both root and embedded clauses, on the basis of theoretical arguments and empirical findings. The movement of the inflected verbal head is triggered to agree with the profiled informational value of the fronted XP. The V2 “constraint” shall thus be observed as a sum of micro-V2s, in which the inflected head creates Spec-Head configurations with the activated criterial positions in the relevant context. The “second linear” position of the verb results from the movement of the inflected verb to the highest activated criterial head. In other words, there is no “bottleneck effect”, but ordinary violations in terms of locality between fronted XPs. This monograph is aimed principally at postgraduate students and researchers interested in the description of natural languages adopting the guidelines of the Cartography of Syntactic Structures.

Book Synopsis Alternatives to Cartography by : Jeroen van Craenenbroeck
Download or read book Alternatives to Cartography written by Jeroen van Craenenbroeck and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2009-12-15 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1980s generative grammar recognized that functional material is able to project syntactic structure in conformity with the X-bar-format. This insight soon led to a considerable increase in the inventory of functional projections. The basic idea behind this line of theorizing, which goes by the name of cartography, is that sentence structure can be represented as a template of linearly ordered positions, each with their own syntactic and semantic import. In recent years, however, a number of problems have been raised for this approach. For example, certain combinations of syntactic elements cannot be linearly ordered. In light of such problems a number of alternative accounts have been explored. Some of them propose a new (often interface-related) trigger for movement, while others seek alternative means of accounting for various word order patterns. These alternatives to cartography do not form a homogeneous group, nor has there thus far been a forum where these ideas could be compared and confronted with one another. This volume fills that gap. It offers a varied and in-depth view on the position taken by a substantial number of researchers in the field today on what is presumably one of the most hotly debated and controversial issues in present-day generative grammar.
Book Synopsis Visualization in Modern Cartography by : A.M. MacEachren
Download or read book Visualization in Modern Cartography written by A.M. MacEachren and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Visualization in Modern Cartography explores links between the centuries-old discipline of cartography and today's revolutionary developments in scientific visualization. The book has three main goals: (1) to pass on design and symbolization expertise to the scientific visualization community - information that comes from centuries of pre-computer visualization by cartographers, and their more recent experiences with computerizing the discipline; (2) to help cartographers cope with the dramatic shift from print cartography to a dynamic virtual cartography for which their role is changing from that of map designer to one of spatial information display (and/or interface) designer; (3) to illustrate the expanded role for cartography in geographic, environmental, planning, and earth science applications that comes with the development of interactive geographic visualization tools. To achieve these goals, the book is divided into three parts. The first sets the historical, cognitive, and technological context for geographic/cartographic visualization tool development. The second covers key technological, symbolization, and user interface issues. The third provides a detailed look at selected prototype geographic/cartographic visualization tools and their applications.
