Topic: <u>Networks in Historical Scholarly/Philosophical

<p

of late medieval scholarly manuscripts (questions originating at
the University of Prague around 1400) and presocratic textual
fragments (mainly Heraclitus). Specific focus will be on (graph)
clustering algorithms that should help to formally define
relationships between semantically linked structures and thus
offer insight into the structure of the textual source.</p>

next highly desirable part would be the development of image
segmentation algorithms for recognising the overall structure of
the yet never analysed formal parts of medieval handwritten
manuscripts. Attempting full OCR (very hard in this case; see
example on our web) and LLM interpretation of the distilled text
would be a bonus.</p>

topic aims to develop methodology to capture a realistic,
interpretable, model of spreading of scholarly information in the
scholarly social community. It shall include standard citation
networks, but strive to extent to concept flow networks
(detectable information influence beyond formal citations), and
use graph theoretical, statistical and machine learning tools to
provide further insights including identification of scholarly
groups, informal knowledge propagation, extreme events including
tipping points (paradigm shifts) and their early markers,
influential agents and ideas.</p>
