我们展示了使用传统分类系统和混合成员主题模型的组合的分面搜索如何超越关键字搜索，为跨学科研究的资源发现、假设制定和论点提取提供信息。我们的测试领域是关于动物思维和认知的科学工作的历史和哲学。这些方法可以推广到其他研究领域，最终支持论元结构的半自动识别系统。我们提供了一个在比较心理学发展的关键时期应用这些方法来识别和提取关于拟人化的论点的案例研究。我们展示了在大型数字图书馆上训练的分类系统和混合成员模型的组合如何能够促进该领域的资源发现。通过一种新的“向下钻取”主题建模方法--同时减小语料库和分析单元的大小--我们能够将大量全文卷减少到六个焦点卷中的较小页面集，其中包含历史学家和比较心理学哲学家感兴趣的论点。以这种方式确定的卷没有出现在HathiTrust数字图书馆关键字搜索的前十个结果中，这些页面具有产生原创解释所需的那种“近距离阅读”，而原创解释是人文学科学术工作的核心。缩小后，我们提供了一种方法，将书籍放置到最初由非常不同的数据构建的科学地图上，用于不同的目的。这种多层次的方法促进了对解释作品的知识和社会背景的理解。
We show how faceted search using a combination of traditional classification systems and mixed-membership topic models can go beyond keyword search to inform resource discovery, hypothesis formulation, and argument extraction for interdisciplinary research. Our test domain is the history and philosophy of scientific work on animal mind and cognition. The methods can be generalized to other research areas and ultimately support a system for semi-automatic identification of argument structures. We provide a case study for the application of the methods to the problem of identifying and extracting arguments about anthropomorphism during a critical period in the development of comparative psychology. We show how a combination of classification systems and mixed-membership models trained over large digital libraries can inform resource discovery in this domain. Through a novel approach of “drill-down” topic modeling—simultaneously reducing both the size of the corpus and the unit of analysis—we are able to reduce a large collection of fulltext volumes to a much smaller set of pages within six focal volumes containing arguments of interest to historians and philosophers of comparative psychology. The volumes identified in this way did not appear among the first ten results of the keyword search in the HathiTrust digital library and the pages bear the kind of “close reading” needed to generate original interpretations that is the heart of scholarly work in the humanities. Zooming back out, we provide a way to place the books onto a map of science originally constructed from very different data and for different purposes. The multilevel approach advances understanding of the intellectual and societal contexts in which writings are interpreted.
