Mathematical Models of Textual Data: A Short Review

none1noThis contribution is the result of trying to put in amore systematic, updated and readable form some notes I used in the preparation of my talk at the INdAM Workshop Mathematical Models and Methods for Planet Earth, in Rome (May, 2013). The aim was to discuss some recent mathematical approaches to textual data analysis, focusing on literary texts and on some specific topics and examples: universal statistical properties of written language and the nature of long correlations in literary texts with specific applications to authorship attribution, keyword extraction, and automatic text generation.mixedMirko Degli EspostiMirko Degli Espost
