Historic machines from 'prams' to 'Parliament': new avenues for collaborative linguistic research
Research in computational linguistics has made successful attempts at modelling word meaning at scale, but much remains to be done to put these computational models to the test of historical scholarship (see e.g. Beelen et al. 2021). More importantly, a lot of computational research looks at texts in a historical...Ridge, Mia ; Tolfo, Giorgia ; Westerling, Kalle ; Pedrazzini, Nilo ; McGillivray, Barbara
