May Silicon Triangle - Computational Stylistics of Shakespeare

What better way to start the 4 day week than coming to the Silicon Triangle and listening to an interesting talk? And on the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death we couldn't have a more appropriate talk this month!

Tom Salyers will be talking to us about his thesis in the computational stylistics of Shakespeare and other Elizabethan drama.

From Tom: "You know Titus Andronicus? There's a theory that Shakespeare either collaborated with or reworked an earlier piece by a contemporary of his named George Peele.

I tried to get a computer to distinguish between their writing styles and see which bits might be by which author."

Tom will be discussing his method and findings with us.

I hope to see you all there for this talk which straddles science, technology and the arts.

Free entry, all welcome from boffins to novices.
