Training material for Galaxy tutorial "Text Mining Differences in Chinese Newspaper Articles"

  • 1. ROR icon University of Freiburg

Description

The dataset contains two texts in traditional Chinese. They are dummy-texts used in the tutorial "Text Mining Differences in Chinese Newspaper Articles". The original texts for the analysis are proprietary and could, therefore, not be used.  Instead, 1) "Example_Chinese_newspaper_uncensored.txt" was ai-generated by GPT as a dummy text to stand in for a Chinese newspaper article in 1939.  Based on this, I adapted 2) "Example_Chinese_newspaper_censored.txt" to show the pattern of censorship prevalent in Chinese newspapers in Hong Kong at the time. As in the original, there are slight differences in the text, including OCR errors or different punctuation. The content is, therefore, fictive, but the censorship patterns and differences displayed are consistent with existing research on this topic.
