Corpus Analysis with Antconc | Programming Historian Introduction Corpus analysis is a form of text analysis which allows you to make comparisons between textual objects at a large scale (so-called ‘distant reading’). It allows us to see things that we don’t necessarily see when reading as humans. By the end of this tutorial, you will be able to: create/download a corpus of texts conduct a keyword-in-context search identify patterns surrounding a particular word use more specific search queries look at statistically significant differences between corpora make multi-modal comparisons using corpus lingiustic methods You have done this sort of thing before, if you have ever… searched in a PDF or a word doc for all examples a specific term Used Voyant Tools for looking at patterns in one text Followed Programming Historian’s Introduction to Python tutorials In many ways Voyant is a gateway into conducting more sophisticated, replicable analysis, as the DIY aesthetic of Python or R scripting may not appeal to everyone.

From hieroglyphics to Isotype: | Books | Hyphen Press Otto Neurath wrote From hieroglyphics to Isotype during the last two years of his life: this is the first publication of the full text, carefully edited from the original manuscripts in the Otto & Marie Neurath Isotype Collection at the University of Reading. Calling it a ‘visual autobiography’, Neurath documents the importance to him of visual material, from his earliest years to his professional activity with the picture language of Isotype. He draws clear connections between the stimulus he received as a boy – from illustrated books, toys, and exhibitions – to the considered work in visual education that occupied him for the last twenty years of his life. This engaging and informal account gives a rich picture of Central-European culture around the turn of the twentieth century, as well as an exposition of the techniques of Isotype. Contents Foreword (Eric Kindel & Sue Walker) Introduction (Christopher Burke) Preface (Matthew Eve) 1. Appendix: Otto Neurath as collector Index

About • RAWGraphs RAW Graphs is an open source data visualization framework built with the goal of making the visual representation of complex data easy for everyone. Primarily conceived as a tool for designers and vis geeks, RAW Graphs aims at providing a missing link between spreadsheet applications (e.g. Microsoft Excel, Apple Numbers, OpenRefine) and vector graphics editors (e.g. The project, led and maintained by the DensityDesign Research Lab (Politecnico di Milano) was released publicly in 2013 and is regarded by many as one of the most important tools in the field of data visualization. After a couple of years, the involvement of Contactlab as a funding partner brought the project to a new stage.

Let's Make a Bar Chart with Lyra - Jim Vallandingham A few days ago Arvind Satyanarayan from the UW Interactive Data Lab released an alpha version of Lyra that promises to be a way to create complex data visualizations without code. Think of it like an open source Adobe Illustrator, for data visualizations. Sounds pretty awesome, right? Let’s find out. There are a number of very interesting examples to learn from on the Lyra main page. I wanted to see what would be required to create a really basic bar chart – as a way to start to learn more about this interesting tool. Here’s the final product: Pretty simple right? WARNING: Lyra is labelled as alpha and while already a great tool, its got some issues . Your Visualization Development Environment Here’s what it looks like when you first open Lyra : I’ve annotated the app with my own terminology to provide a bit of orientation. The far left panel provides capabilities to add data to the visualization and manipulate this data. These marks are organized into layers (just like Illustrator!).
