Quantitative Analysis of Culture Using Millions of Digitized Books
TLDR
The authors survey the vast terrain of "culturomics", focusing on linguistic and cultural phenomena that were reflected in the English language between 1800 and 2000, using a corpus of digitized texts containing about 4% of all books ever printed.Abstract:
L'article, publie dans Science, sur une des premieres utilisations analytiques de Google Books, fondee sur les n-grammes (Google Ngrams) We constructed a corpus of digitized texts containing about 4% of all books ever printed. Analysis of this corpus enables us to investigate cultural trends quantitatively. We survey the vast terrain of "culturomics", focusing on linguistic and cultural phenomena that were reflected in the English language between 1800 and 2000. We show how this approach can ...read more

Diachronic Word Embeddings Reveal Statistical Laws of Semantic Change
TL;DR: A robust methodology for quantifying semantic change is developed by evaluating word embeddings against known historical changes and it is revealed that words that are more polysemous have higher rates of semantic change.
