Why Natural Language Processing is Not Reading: Two Philosophical Distinctions and their Educational Import by Dr. Carolyn Culbertson

“… This paper explores two important ways in which close reading differs from natural language processing, the use of computer programming to decode, process, and replicate messages within a human language. It does so in order to highlight distinctive features of close reading that are not replicated by natural language processing. …”
