01. Discovering Insights from Homer’s Iliad with NLP
Novels and text contain insights into ideologies and places that are often originally unknown to the reader. By reading a written piece, we uncover the opinions of the author on their chosen topic and come to understand both the topic and how the author thinks.
In this project I’ve performed a natural language parsing analysis to gain deeper insight into Homer’s The Iliad!. Here is my ➡Text File of that novel.
One of the beauties of natural language parsing with regular expressions is the ability to gain insight into lengthy pieces of text without a formal read!
Project Goals:
- Finding out the main topics of discussion in the novel and can begin to discern some of the author’s thoughts and beliefs

02. Who sent The Letter?
I’ve received an anonymous postcard from a friend who I haven’t seen in years. My friend did not leave a name, but the card is definitely addressed to me. So far, I’ve narrowed my search down to three friends, based on handwriting:
- Alexandra Daddario
- Benedict Cumberbatch
- Jennifer Lawrence
I have all the past writings from each friend saved as text here: Alexandra Daddario, Benedict Cumberbatch, Jennifer Lawrence
Project Goals:
- But which one sent the card?
