15:00-18:15 WORKSHOP on stylometry
by Jan Rybicki

Stylo: A tool for computational text analysis
Stylo is a package written for R, the open-source and cross-platform statistical programming environment. It performs a number of text-analytical workflows from text input through token recognition to graphing the results that are useful in authorship attribution and computational stylistics. Thanks to its powerful graphic user interface, it can be used by beginners and non-programmers after short instruction. In this workshop, the participants will be able to conduct their first attributive or stylistic analysis, perhaps even on their own text corpora.

Workshop can accommodate 15 participants, who should bring their own laptops (Windows, preferably).

10:00-18:00 WORKSHOP on text reuse
by eTRAP team: Marco Büchler, Emily Franzini, Greta Franzini, Maria Moritz (GCDH, University of Göttingen)

If you are interested in exploring text reuse between two or among multiple texts (written in the same language) and would like to learn how to identify reuse yourself semi-automatically, this workshop is for you. The workshop seeks to teach participants to independently understand, use and run the TRACER tool, created by Dr. Marco Büchler, in order to detect and visualize text reuse in multifarious corpora, be those prose, poetry, in Arabic or Estonian.
