We then develop a web interface for text similarity search over the corpus and test it with Dodis summaries and full text documents. | - The Text similarity search of the corpora.

- | In this project, we want to connect newspaper articles from Journal de Genève (a Genevan daily newspaper) and a sample of the Diplomatic Documents in Switzerland database (Dodis).

Thus, we should be able to examine if and how the written press reflected what was happening at the diplomatic level. The time interval for this project is the summer of 1914. | + | In this project, we want to connect newspaper articles from Journal de Genève (a Genevan daily newspaper) and the Gazette de Lausanne to a sample of the Diplomatic Documents in Switzerland database (Dodis).
