eScience workshop for PhD students and IDK researchers
Exploring and demonstrating eScience tools for supporting your research
In collaboration with the SDU eScience Centre, the Center for Learning Computational Thinking offers an eScience workshop for IDK researchers interested in exploring digital means for supporting the efficient use of data, including tools for analysis and data infrastructure.
At the workshop, we will introduce the SDU eScience Centre, including a presentation of their services. Furthermore, Zhiru Sun from IDK will present her work on the automatic detection of text reuse in the H.C. Andersen’s work (a project description can be found below). Finally, Federica Lo Verso and Emiliano Molinaro, from the eScience Centre, will introduce and demonstrate the UCloud platform.
The UCloud platform is a service, that amongst several functions, offers tools for sharing data with your research associates, and doing collaborative analytics and data visualisations. You can read more about the UCloud platform by following the link: https://escience.sdu.dk/index.php/ucloud
NB: The tools presented at the workshop will be freely accessible through the SDU eScience Centre.

Description of Zhirus´ project Automatic detection of text reuse in the H.C. Andersen’s work
The project aims to detect intra-text reuse between H.C. Andersen’s notes written in the 18th century and his published fairy tales and manuscripts. By using natural language processing approach and high perform computing, we conducted over 76,000 pair-wise comparison and identified similarity between each pair.
The findings help humanistic scholars effectively detect the similarity between the digitalized notes and fairy tales. More importantly, the results inspire scholars to further their studies and formulate new research questions.
