In this article, they describe their methodology for building this dataset, first using automatic text classification to detect biographies and then using Named Entity Recognition to generate metadata. They then go on to highlight several avenues of future research ...
10) Baptiste Blouin, Pierre Magistry and Nora Van den Bosch turn to Wikipedia and the biographical information contained therein. Using Natural Language Processing methods, they extract data from more than 300k biographies collected from the Chinese and English Wikipedia. -
9) Matthias Arnold and Henrike Rudolph collect "Network Data in the Early Chinese Periodicals Online Database" (ECOP), a repository of textual and visual sources from the Republican period (1912-1949). They introduce this database, hosted at the University of Heidelberg, -
8) Michael Fuller and Hongsu Wang turn to the China Biographical Database (CBD), a relational database of over 450k individual from pre-modern Chinese history, to present an overview of its capacities and potentials for further research.

7) In "The Historical Social Network of Chinese Buddhism", Marcus Bingenheimer collects and analyzes a large dataset (c. 17,5k actors, c. 25k ties) based on biographical literature and the Buddhist Person Authority Database. The dataset spans the late 3rd to early 20th c.
The article employs quantitative, geospatial and SNA methods to study these two groups and their interactions. https://t.co/9ZUDD7rDbd
6) Marilyn Levine's article is devoted to "Post-WWI Chinese Revolutionary Leaders in Europe": an exploration of a leadership network of 133 Chinese revolutionary leaders trained in Europe or the USSR during 1920s.
The article analyzes co-occurence of political frameworks and terms related to nation-building in their respective writings, using quantitative literature analysis.
5) Anne Chao, Shandong Liu and Qiwei Li study the writings of two influential public intellectuals in 19/20th c. China, Liang Qichao and Chen Duxiu, in their article "Network of Words": https://t.co/IKD5o3Kgoh
