Reimagining Plutarch with NLP: Part 2

Plutarch's Lives of the Noble Greeks and Romans, also called Parallel Lives or just Plutarch's Lives, is a series of biographies of famous Ancient Greeks and Romans, from Theseus and Lycurgus to Marcus Antonius. In this article / tutorial -- following the recently published Part 1-- I will continue exploring this book using some of the natural language processing techniques. To help with an easy replication, I adapted the code to Google Colab, and highlighted what is unique to the platform -- otherwise the entire code can be run locally on Python 3.6 . The code is sequentially presented throughout the article and the link to the Github files is embedded at the end as I may skip some minor details or supplementary code. The text used in this analysis has been made available by Project Gutenberg.
