Visualization for Text Mining in the Digital Humanities - Empowering Researchers to Use Advanced Tools for Text Mining

Abstract

In this PhD thesis, a visual interface for text analysis and text mining in the digital humanities (DH) will be developed. Text analysis is a crucial task in the DH, but advanced text mining technologies like topic modeling or clustering are difficult to use for most researchers. My work bridges this gap using visualizations. To ensure an adequate usability of visualizations for epistemological practices, the visualizations will be realized with researchers in an agile and participatory approach.
