SUMMARY:Microanalysis: A Lecture By Matthew Jockers
DESCRIPTION:
 Can we treat literature as data? Should we? Matt 
 Jockers will share his recent work using quantitative 
 methodologies to chart plot structure 
 in 40,000 narratives in a literary corpus 
 spanning from 1800 to the present. Employing 
 tools and techniques from natural language 
 and signal processing, sentiment analysis, and 
 machine learning, he will reveal the core plot 
 archetypes discovered by his analysis and 
 describe how these shapes change from the 19th 
 to the 20th century. Comparing 1,800 best 
 sellers to the larger corpus, he will also suggest 
 how market success is related to plot shape.\n\n
