What Shakespeare Taught Us About Data Science and Visualization

30. Mai 2018 @ 15:00 - 16:00

CS-COLLOQUIUM with Prof. Michael Gleicher

(University of Wisconsin | Department of Computer Sciences)

CS-Colloquium Gleicher Data AnalysisWhen? 30th May 2018, 3:00 pm/30. Mai 2018, 15:00 Uhr

Where? Hörsaal 3 (HS3) Währinger Straße 29, 1090 Vienna

 

In this talk, I will discuss some of the lessons we have learned from a collaboration between computer scientists and literature scholars. Our project sought to help scholars use data science methods to study historical literature at unprecedented scale.
In developing data-centric approaches to English literature of the Early Modern period (roughly 1470-1700, including Shakespeare), we gained a different understanding of data science.
The unique nature of the collaboration highlighted that working with data is a process with many stages, and that different users have different needs.
The project provided an opportunity for us to develop and test our ideas about tools for data analysis and visualization.
This talk will provide an overview of the project, and use the project as motivation for some of our recent results in understanding the data science process and providing data analysis and visualization tools.
