Results
Our project is a work in progress. The section "Results" is under construction, but we will soon provide some results on data analysis, network analysis, topic modeling, stylometry, and sentiment analysis.
Data Analysis
Manually assigned subjects in all issues of Lo Spetatore Italiano, showing how the thematic orientation changed over time.
Network Analysis
Detail from the Periodicals Network representing which periodicals referenced (thin lines) or translated (thick lines) others.
Topic Modeling
Detail from the Italian Topic Network showing the correlation of periodicals (multi-color nodes), topics (single-color nodes), and manually asigned subjects (slices inside the multi-color nodes).
Stylometry
Authorship detection in the anonymously published Le Spectateur ou le Socrate moderne using stylometry, showing closeness to works of Van Effen and La Chapelle.
Sentiment Analysis
Mean standardized sentiment for each manually assigned subject, sorted by language, showing how for example, the subject Law is identified as positive in German and negative in the Romance languages.
