The Digital Humanities Lab (dhlab.pingry.org) is a website that encourages and enables humanities students and researchers to adapt quantitative thinking to their literary experience. Through a user-friendly interface, we provide access to powerful natural language processing tools, which can otherwise only be used by those with a computer science background. While, of course, a computer can never read and analyze text with the analytical depth of a human being, it has the capacity to see large-scale patterns through objective, numerical analyses. Our app, a winner of the 2019 Congressional App Challenge, continues to grow to incorporate new tools and engage new audiences.
Noah Bergam is a senior at The Pingry School and the founder and co-creator of the Digital Humanities Lab. His research interests include dynamical systems, Modernist literature, artificial intelligence, and natural language processing. He is interested in studying mathematics but, deep down, he aspires for polymathy.
