DH Reading Group: Topic Modeling
On January 28th, we had the first meeting of Michigan State University’s DH Reading Group. There was a good turn out to discuss topic modeling.

They are not restricted to texts but can also be used for images, sounds, and other media structures. We read and discussed the following articles: Megan R.

Drawing from his research on the 2004 public debate surrounding the adhan (call to prayer) in Hamtramck, the speaker, Isaac Weiner, a professor of comparative studies at The Ohio State University, discussed tensions and reactions to the inescapable public presence religious sound: what sounds are sanctioned, and which ones merely tolerated, while others are strictly proscribed. For Weiner, the logic of pluralism generated several responses to religious sound, ranging from domesticating religious traditions (in effect,…
