I thoroughly enjoyed presenting my data-driven research on late Ottoman #Arabic #Periodicals at #DigHis23. The paper introduces stylometric authorship attribution for answering the question whether editors/publishers of magazines could or should be considered the authors of the bulk of anonymous texts in their periodicals. The method relies on collaborative work with Maxim Romanov on establishing parameters for reliable authorship attribution in Arabic for the `stylo()` package in #R (#Rstats).

#introduction time 👋

- I'm a writer, programmer and researcher based in Melbourne.

- My day job involves a lot(!) of #dataviz and my main tools of the trade are #d3js, #python, #R and #GIS software. But I also play around with p5.js and SQL on occasion.

- Outside of that, I'm looking to learn more about digital librarianship and curatorship, digital humanities, early internet and the #indieweb, live art coding, generative art and cool web design.

- I was also a #music journalist for a few years and I'm a classically trained singer, so I'm always keen to hear new recs
