TY - JOUR TI - Trawling in the Sea of the Great Unread: Sub-corpus topic modeling and Humanities research AU - Tangherlini, Timothy R. AU - Leonard, Peter T2 - Poetics T3 - Topic Models and the Cultural Sciences AB - Given a small, well-understood corpus that is of interest to a Humanities scholar, this paper proposes sub-corpus topic modeling (STM) as a tool for discovering meaningful passages in a larger collection of less well-understood texts. STM allows Humanities scholars to discover unknown passages from the vast sea of works that Moretti calls the “great unread” and to significantly increase the researcher's ability to discuss aspects of influence and the development of intellectual movements across a broader swath of the literary landscape.
