Hi Jaime, The Hestia project will be of interest to you: http://hestia.open.ac.uk/ The exploration of place names in Herodotus' Histories using an annotated version of the text was the focus of the first part of this project, and it was followed by a series of conferences on how the insights of this project could have wider use. Make sure to check the resources on their website, which will definitely help you on your way.

I also just taught a graduate seminar this spring on distant reading Latin literature using R, in which several students developed topic models for Classical texts, the Patrologia Latina, and these two corpora combined. This is very complex and provisional work, which we’re continuing to refine, but also very exciting. Glad to hear that others are interested as well! Best, Paul

Subject: [DIGITALCLASSICIST] Topic modeling on classical texts?
Dear all,
I'm trying to apply some topic modeling on Herodotus' text for my PhD dissertation and I´d like to know if there is any project or research using this approach or something similar, for reference and - who knows - future collaboration? For anyone who doesn't know what I'm talking about, this introduction to topic modeling by Scott Weingart is what got me into this kind of research. Also, feel free to browsemy newborn Zotero group for some readings about this, and of course join it if you´ve got more material!
Thank you, and best wishes,
Jaime RanchalPhD student at Universidad de Granada (Spain)
