I have recently been looking at examples of online collaboration in mathematics, to identify patterns of argument and other phenomena. Such collaborations, as well as being very valuable to their users as a new problem solving technique, also provide a valuable resource for understanding how mathematics is produced.
So far my work has been entirely hand-crafted - no language analysis tools beyond search have been used. This is both laborious and somewhat subjective. I would love to think there were tools out there that could do better, and maybe do things that are impossible by hand, but not knowing very much about computational linguistics have no idea where to start.
So this talk poses a question for computational linguistics groups - what tools are available to help? You don’t need to understand the mathematics to get the gist of what is going on, just the structure of the conversations - and there are far far more words than symbols in the texts!
Even a negative answer will be useful, as at least then I’ll know just to slog on with the knitting.
