This flow can be quantified and compared by analyzing the text using natural language processing techniques. This study uses word embedding models to generate time series for novels and then compare the resulting series using dynamic time warping to find similarities. Considering time series analysis rather than a pure statistical one can capture the flow of the works and thus the similarities ...

We study the distribution dynamics of the demand for books in Italy. We find that for each of three broad sub-markets in which the book publishing industry can be classified − Italian novels, foreign novels and essays − sales over a three-year sample can be adequately fitted by a power law distribution. Our results can be plausibly interpreted in terms of a model of interactions among buyers ex...

The feminist epistemology theory is applied which believes that knowledge claims are made from nowhere and are universally valid. African women took surface knowledge of American society and gained superior knowledge of human pote...

Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA) is a computational theory of meaning. Meanings of words are extracted from a large corpus of texts by a statistical method and represented as vectors in a semantic space. It is known that similarities of word-pairs computed by LSA can explain various language processing of human(e.g., Landauer and Dumais, 1997). To know features of LSA, we created four semantic sp...

or ideal appearance of the state from its material reality, in taking for granted this distinction, will fail to understand it. the task of a theory of the state is not to clarify such distinctions but to historicize them.77 in this view, history is useful not as a reservoir of “cases” but as a reservoir of processes that help researchers overcome analytic dichotomies that were once useful but ...
