Speaker
Hoyt Long (The University of Chicago)
Moderator
Jungsuk Hwang (Sungkyunkwan University)
This talk examines the use of machine learning techniques to study the diffusion of stream-of-consciousness narrative through Anglophone texts and into Japanese modernist writing of the early 1930s. Professor Long offers preliminary suggestions for how we might learn to read with machines and speculate on the potential futures of machine-reading in our global information age.
