.txtlab is a laboratory for cultural analytics at McGill University directed by Andrew Piper.

Our aim is to use #AI and #NLP to better understand human storytelling.

Students come from a variety of backgrounds, including linguistics, computer science, languages and literatures, cultural studies, media and communication studies, math and statistics to some combination of the above.

If you are an undergraduate or graduate student interested in using computational modeling to study cultures of storytelling the best place to start is by taking one of my classes that introduces you to the computational analysis of text: LLCU 255, LLCU 301, or LLCU 602/612/614.

If you already have experience with text and data analysis, and are comfortable doing independent work, learning on your own and participating in group activities, then get in touch!
