Proposing 'Latent Reading': Exploring Literature via Single-Text AI Models
begusgasper · x · 2026-08-04
The author proposes a new object of literary study called 'latent reading'. Distinct from traditional text and reception theory studies since Aristotle, this method focuses on exploring the latent spaces of an AI model trained on a single text.
As the first case study, the team introduces FinneganLM, an AI model trained exclusively on James Joyce's complex work, Finnegans Wake.
