Terras points out the fact how the computer science and the \u201cpure\u201d humanities need to work together to create better projects in the digital humanities.\u00a0 With the dismissal of computer scientists when developing applications in the digital humanities, programs can become highly inefficient.\u00a0 From Terras\u2019s essay the digital humans seem to deal with text a lot, as seen on the chart on page 79.\u00a0 It can be trivially to write a sorting algorithm to work on text.\u00a0 A quick google search on how to write a sorting algorithm will reveal thousands of pages on how to do this in the programming language of your choice.\u00a0 More than likely this will probably be a bubble sort since it is very easy to code. This is fine for small scale projects, like analysis of a single book, however, this type of sort is horribly inefficient.\u00a0 If this type of sort is used on large project it could slow to a crawl on even the most powerful hardware.<\/p>\n
something similar could be said of computer science trying to attempt analysis on literary projects on their own.\u00a0 without the familiarity of the vast work done in the humanities, they will likely rehash what has already been done.\u00a0 Working together should be the optimal approach as Terras points out that the humanities tend to be an insular group.\u00a0 This insularity can create an isolating effect where no matter how good the research, it won\u2019t likely spread beyond the authors peers and gain wider recognition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
