Voltaire's correspondence has been described as his 'greatest masterpiece' – but if it is, is also least studied. One of the most prodigious correspondences in Western literature, poses significant interpretative challenges to critic and reader alike. Considered individually, letters present a series complex, subtle, playful literary performances; taken together, they constitute formidable, even forbidding, ensemble. How can modern readers attempt understand such an imposing work? This...
The following article describes a simple technique to identify lexically-similar passages in large collections of text using sequence alignment algorithms. Primarily used the field bioinformatics similar segments DNA genome research, has also been employed many other domains, from plagiarism detection image processing. While we have applied this approach wide variety diverse collections, will focus our discussion here on identification famous 18th-century Encyclopédie Denis Diderot and Jean...
Ever since the first volume of Encyclopédie was published in 1751, critics have complained about its liberal borrowings from other sources. This article explores some reasons why not citing sources may been an important publishing and philosophical strategy. Using a data-mining program that automatically flags likely matches between texts, we were able to identify thousands citations discover clear citational patterns. Taking into account complicated system permissions Old Regime France,...
Abstract Detecting similarity between texts is a frequently encountered text mining task. Because the measurement of typically composed number metrics, and some measures are sensitive to subjective interpretation, generic detector obtained using machine learning often has difficulties balancing roles different metrics according semantic context exhibited in specific collection texts. In order facilitate human interaction visual analytics process for detection, we first map problem pairwise...
This paper describes the use of Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA), or topic modeling, to explore discursive makeup the18th-century Encyclopédie Denis Diderot and Jean le Rond d'Alembert (1751-1772). Expanding upon previous work modeling Encyclopédie's ontology, classification scheme, we examine abstractions used by its editors visualize various 'systems' knowledge that proposes, considered here as heuristic tools for navigating complex information space Encyclopédie. Using these earlier...
The European Research Council's ModERN project (Modelling Enlightenment: reassembling networks of modernity through data-driven research) is a pioneering five-year research initiative. This programme seeks to redefine the conventional understanding 18th-century literary history by employing advanced data-modelling and analysis techniques. By developing comprehensive corpus French texts leveraging range data-science methodologies such as text-reuse detection network analysis, aims uncover...
Text reuse, encompassing direct citations, paraphrases and allusions, represents a key aspect of intertextuality – concept central to literary theory since the 1960s. This paper highlights how computational methods, particularly automatic text-reuse detection, can illuminate complex system intertextual exchange that informs 18th-century culture, focusing on significant works like Encyclopédie Voltaire's correspondence. By employing advanced techniques such as sequence alignment social...
This article explores the use of Émilie Du Châtelet's Institutions de physique as both an acknowledged and unacknowledged source for Encyclopédie Diderot d'Alembert, argues inclusion a full participant in philosophical conversations enacts. Widely considered minor voice who entered solely through mediation Samuel Formey—a largely forgotten conflicted encyclopédiste—new evidence generated using techniques developed digital humanities suggests that Châtelet was much more central figure...
In many ways, the development of twentieth-century literary criticism and theory can be seen as a prolonged struggle against pervading influence nineteenth-century positivist historicism. Anglo-American New Criticism later French post-structuralism deconstruction are best-known instances this conflict. Less widely known but no less important to contemporary studies Charles Péguy’s earlier debates with academic historicism in years leading up World War I. First examined by Antoine Compagnon...
Abstract How can computational methods illuminate the relationship between a leading intellectual, and their lifetime library membership?

In this article we describe history provide survey similar community-oriented electronic dictionaries. We then...
