The interpretation of dream meaning: Resolving ambiguity using Latent Semantic Analysis in a small corpus of text
Computer-based dreams content analysis relies on word frequencies within predefined categories in order to identify different elements in text. As a complementary approach, we explored the capabilities and limitations of word-embedding techniques to identify word usage patterns among dream reports....

Computer-based dreams content analysis relies on word frequencies within predefined categories in order to identify different elements in text.
