New algorithm uses information theory to find formulaic text clusters

Researchers have developed a novel information-theoretic algorithm to identify formulaic clusters within textual data. This method utilizes weighted self-information distributions, extending classical measures to a continuous formulation for application with neural embeddings. When applied to the Hebrew Bible, the algorithm successfully isolated stylistic layers and provided a quantitative framework for textual stratification, offering new insights into the text's composition and evolution.
