thesis outline

intro

• how to understand, how to explain results & experiences
• position of automated computer processes
• automated reading systems, reading / writing
• text mining field

algorithmic agreeability - cultural aspects

• wordclouds
• antropomorphism
• metaphors
• assumptions of 'sentiment'
• data as autonomous entity

conclusion

• skeptical
• religion

research material

→ filesystem interface, collecting research related material (+ about the workflow)
→ wikipage for 'i-could-have-written-that' (list of prototypes & inquiries)
→ little glossary

data as autonomous entity

* notes on wordclouds
* automatic reading machines; from encoding-decoding to constructed-truths (video/slideshow?)
* (laughter) - it's embarrassing but these are the words
* knowledge driven by data - whenever i fire a linguist, the results improve

'knowledge' bases

* index of WordNet 3.0 (2006)
* index of Roget's thesaurus (1805)
* comparing the classification of the word 'information' Thesaurus (1911) vs. WordNet 3.0 (2006)

heteromation

* call for a syntactic view; Florian Cramer & Benjamin Bratton (text)
* anthropomorphic qualities of a computer (?)
* the photographic apparatus → the data apparatus (voice-over?)
* Joseph's (Weizenbaum) questions on Computer Power and Human Reason

other

* semantic math: averaging polarity rates in Pattern (text mining software package)
* EUR PhD presentation 'Sentiment Analysis of Text Guided by Semantics and Structure' (13-11-2015)
