thesis outline

intro

• NLP, natural language processing
• current focus: data-mining field (a data-fashion)

hypothesis

The results of data-mining software are not mined, results are created.
What elements do allow for algorithmic agreeability?

algorithmic agreeability

• mining as ideology
  • from: mining natural resources, to: data mining [what are the differences?]
  • 'data mining'?
• text processing
  • from: able to check results with senses (OCR), to: intuition (data-mining) [what are the differences?]
  • parsing, how text is treated: as n-grams, chunks, bag-of-words, characters
• data as autonomous entity
  • from: information, to: data science [what are the differences?]

case study objects

• anthropomorphism: 'data mining' (wiki-page)
• anthropomorphism: 'machine learning'
• wordclouds
• workflow mining-software (eg. Pattern, Wecka)

research material

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

mining as ideology

* from mining minerals to mining data

anthropomorphism

* anthropomorphic qualities of a computer (?)
* the photographic apparatus → the data apparatus (annotations)
* Joseph's (Weizenbaum) questions on Computer Power and Human Reason

text processing

* semantic math: averaging polarity rates in Pattern (text mining software package)
* notes on wordclouds
* automatic reading machines; from encoding-decoding to constructed-truths
* index of WordNet 3.0 (2006)

data as autonomous entity

* knowledge driven by data - whenever i fire a linguist, the results improve

other

* (laughter) - it's embarrassing but these are the words
* call for a syntactic view; Florian Cramer & Benjamin Bratton (text)
* EUR PhD presentation 'Sentiment Analysis of Text Guided by Semantics and Structure' (13-11-2015)
* index of Roget's thesaurus (1805)
* comparing the classification of the word 'information' Thesaurus (1911) vs. WordNet 3.0 (2006)
