Medium: Virtual Reality Experience
First part of my proposed work includes simulation and transcription of an essay, ‘A Cyborg Manifesto’ written by Donna Haraway in 1985. I would like to propose a machine learning implementation project by using text mining techniques to reconstruct the linguistic contexts of words from the raw text data of the Haraway’s essay.
Text mining is a technique that uses natural language processing (NLP) to transform the raw text into normalized, structured data that is suitable for analysis. It is a widely used Machine Learning technique for representing words in vector space where word representations can be measured mathematically by word similarity. Inside an abstract vector space, that is derived from real-world language corpora, words become points in n-dimensional space, where algebraic operations operate on the syntactic and semantic creation of language. At the end of this process, I will have a point cloud data in which every dot represents a word. Dots that are closer together in space mean that they are similar in context. Words that are different in context are further away from one another.
