Our Lexomics group, an interdisciplinary research team from faculty and students in Computer Science and English continues development of our text mining tool Lexos. The rapid digitization of texts presents both new opportunities and real barriers of entry to computer-assisted explorations of texts. Lexos provides a simple, web-based workflow for text processing, statistical analysis, and visualization designed to address these barriers. The project supports Lexos' core strength as an entry-level tool while seeking to position it as an innovative intervention in Digital Humanities conversations about the interplay of machine learning and text analysis.
