Abstract

This paper takes two problems common in the field of styles research, namely 1) the difficulty to identify a coherent integrative framework for the numerous metrics of style and their theoretical underpinnings, and 2) the difficulty of providing a useful representation of what the metrics of style actually mean in practice. Data mining and visualization techniques are offered as a solution and we present some examples of how such methods could provide useful way to understand the styles literature and inform the practitioners with data-driven approaches to identify ‘types’ from the metrics.Visualising styles in N-dimensional spaces.
