Clovis Gladstone is Associate Director of the ARTFL Project and a Senior Research Associate in the department of Romance Languages and Literatures.

Presentation Abstract: 
Over the forty years of its existence, the ARTFL Project has brought together a very rich and unrivaled set of French language digital collections. As a leader and strong proponent of digital methods for the study of text, we have also been actively engaged in the development of computational analytics to facilitate the exploration of our holdings.
