Word Similarity Tool, David Mimno
...
http://mimno.infosci.cornell.edu/wordsim/nearest.html?q=caste to have the queried-for word be "caste".
Here's an example of the kinds of useful observations the tool empowers you to make:
http://mimno.infosci.cornell.edu/wordsim/nearest.html?q=caste ,
you can notice a few interesting things: from the generated table for "caste", it appears that "suffering" was a pretty frequent contextual word for "caste" in the early nineteenth century, but then "suffering" seemed to drop out of the context by the late nineteenth century. On the other hand, "degradation" seemed to remain, more or less, part of the context of the word "caste" throughout. You can also notice that the occurrence of "race" in the same context as "caste" becomes more frequent after 1870 or so. Before 1870, the instances of "race" in the same context as "caste" was less pronounced.
HT+Bookworm
An interactive, faceted, visualization of terms across the HathiTrust collection, built on the EF dataset.
Here is our recent slide deck providing an overview of the HT+Bookworm project.
Within-Book Topic Modeling, Peter Organisciak
An approach for visualizing thematic trends within a book.
A Topic Model of Fiction, Jonathan Goodwin
A topic model of fiction, based on the genre-classified dataset (only 1920-22); it may be extended once extracted features are available after 1922.
Berkeley Data Science Module, Chris Hench and Cody Hennesy
A Jupyter Notebooks-based curriculum for using HTRC Extracted Features in the classroom developed at the University of California, Berkeley.
Tools
HTRC Feature Reader
A Python library that scaffolds Pandas use of EF data. With example scripts.
