On the Use of Computer-Aided Text Analysis in International Business Research Hasselt University KU Leuven
Research summary: This article demonstrates the potential of computer-aided text analysis (CATA) as a technique to operationalize hard-to-measure constructs in international business research, provided that a rigorous set of validity tests is applied. CATA allows researchers to perform content analyses on large textual databases by constructing indicators using deductively and inductively derived keywords. We show the critical validity steps ...
Identifying ISI-indexed articles by their lexical usage : a text analysis approach Ghent University
This research creates an architecture for investigating the existence of probable lexical divergences between articles, categorized as Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) and non-ISI, and consequently, if such a difference is discovered, to propose the best available classification method. Based on a collection of ISI- and non-ISI-indexed articles in the areas of business and computer science, three classification models are trained. A ...
Brussels Model Schools - Structural Analysis of the Metal Roof Trusses (Part One - Text Book) Vrije Universiteit Brussel
In 1875 the Ligue de l'Enseignement and the Brussels architect Ernest Hendrickx realized the École Modèle, a new school building concept that embodied a new educational policy and philosophy, sustained by architecture. This school served as a guideline for over 55 schools, built between 1875 and 1920 in Brussels and its surroundings. One of the main characteristics of these model schools is their préau, a spacious and light central covered ...
Stylometric text analysis for Dutch-speaking adolescents with autism spectrum disorder Ghent University
One of the main characteristics of individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a deficit in social communication. The effects of ASD on both verbal and non-verbal communication are widely researched in this respect. In this exploratory study, we investigate whether texts of Dutchspeaking adolescents with ASD (aged 12-18 years) are (automatically) distinguishable from texts written by typically developing peers. First, we want to reveal ...
Stylometric Text Analysis for Dutch-speaking Adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder University of Antwerp

The Council of Europe Data Protection Convention reform: Analysis of the new text and critical comment on its global ambition Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The year 2010 set an important milestone in the development of data protection law in Europe: both Europe's basic regulatory texts, the EU Data Protection Directive and the Council's Convention for the Protection of Individuals with regard to Automatic Processing of Personal Data (Convention 108), were placed at an amendment process, having served individual data protection for many years and witnessed in the meantime technological developments ...
The influence of text formality on the syntactic position of French contrastive adverbs. A corpus analysis of en revanche and par contre KU Leuven
This paper is about the influence of text formality on the syntactic position of contrastive adverbs in French. We analyze the distribution of the two contrastive adverbs en revanche and par contre, both conveying a meaning similar to English ‘on the other hand’, in three written corpora representing different levels of formality. We show that (i) these adverbs occur more often in clause-initial position as the level of formality decreases, and ...
LT3 at SemEval-2020 Task 9 : cross-lingual embeddings for sentiment analysis of Hinglish social media text Ghent University
This paper describes our contribution to the SemEval-2020 Task 9 on Sentiment Analysis for Code-mixed Social Media Text. We investigated two approaches to solve the task of Hinglish sentiment analysis. The first approach uses cross-lingual embeddings resulting from projecting Hinglish and pre-trained English FastText word embeddings in the same space. The second approach incorporates pre-trained English embeddings that are incrementally ...
Database Principles and Challenges in Text Analysis Hasselt University
A common conceptual view of text analysis is that of a two-step process, where we first extract relations from text documents and then apply a relational query over the result. Hence, text analysis shares technical challenges with, and can draw ideas from, relational databases. A framework that formally instantiates this connection is that of the document spanners. In this article, we review recent advances in various research efforts that adapt ...
