March 20, 2024 4:00 PMMatt Jockers Lecture: "Linguistic Entailments, Bestselling DNA, and other Absurd Ideas”In this talk, Jockers describes how algorithms reveal the unique patterns of individual linguistic style and allow us to predict which authors and which books are mostly likely to hit the New York Times Bestseller list. He discusses foundational work in authorship attribution, stylometry—and even some neuroscience and behavioral genetics—in a talk that ultimately leads us to question the entire notion of creativity and authorial agency.Duncker 101
