For researchers who work with text

Find a text analysis tool that fits the work.

TAPoR catalogues concordancers, annotators, topic models, stylometry packages, and visualization environments. Every record notes the platform, the license, and what the tool is actually good for.

  • Platform, license, and method on every record
  • Reviews from people who teach with the tools
  • Lists assembled around a course or a corpus

Tableau Public

Tableau Public is a free data visualization tool aimed at online publishers and academics. It can be used to create an interactive visualization, and also enables users to publish it to the web as an embed or share it via a link. Users must download the desktop interface, and all projects created through the system are saved remotely to the Tableau Public server rather than to the user's local machine. It is availabe for both Windows and OS X, and has a visual interface with a simple drag and drop process.

TerraME

TerraME is a programming environment for spatial dynamical modelling. It supports cellular automata, agent-based models, and network models running in 2D cell spaces. TerraME provides an interface to TerraLib geographical database, allowing models direct access to geospatial data. Its modelling language has in-built functions that makes it easier to develop multi-scale and multi-paradigm models for environmental applications. Two important innovations in TerraME are its use of anisotropic spaces and of hybrid automata models. Anisotropic spaces arise when modeling natural and human-related phenomena. For example, land settlers in a new area do not occupy all places at the same time. They follow roads and rivers, leading to an anisotropic pattern. Anisotropic spaces are implemented in TerraME using Generalized Proximity Matrices (GPM). The GPM is an extension of the usual definition of the spatial relations and include a combination of neighborhood measures in the absolute space and in the relative space. A hybrid automaton is an abstract model for a system whose behavior has discrete and continuous parts. It extends the idea of finite automata to allow continuous change to take place between transitions. Adopting hybrid automata in spatial dynamical models allows complex models which include critical transitions.

Text Variation Explorer (TVE)

Text Variation Explorer (TVE) is a Java tool for text visualization. TVE enables users to explore the effect of window size on a text's type-token ratio, proportion of hapax legomena and average word length; it can also cluster text fragments based on principal component analysis and has text comparison features. TVE is in beta and is presented 'as is'.
