Computational text analysis
October 2024 • Marko Bachl, Michael Scharkow
Computational text analysis (CTA) comprises techniques for measuring the content of texts with the help of computer algorithms. The methods are discussed under various labels, such as text-as-data, automated content analysis, natural language processing, or text mining. The defining characteristic of a CTA technique is that once it is initially configured, the computational system performs the measurements independently without requiring any manual intervention or effort. The strength of CTA lies in its scalabilit…
