以村上春樹作品研究為事例，探討人文科系研究的AI文本探勘技術應用方向性（A Directions in Humanities Research with AI Text Mining Technology: A Case Study of Haruki Murakami's Works）

AIテキストマイニング技術による人文系研究の方向性──村上春樹作品研究を事例として

當今的第三代3次AI風潮的主流領域是處理人類語言的自然語言處理技術。對於直至今日與技術資訊關係較為薄弱的人文科系研究而言，感到將會被自然語言處理技術取代的危脅。同時也感到是個往新領域發展的良機。本論文考察自然語言處理領域中快速普及的文本探勘技術、應用於日語相關人文科研究的順序以及注意事項。人文科系與自然科系、社會科系在研究方向以及使用的方法，本質上不同之處非常多。人文科系即使仿照自然科系、社會科系的研究方法進行研究，也會效果不彰。而將文本探勘技術應用於人文科系時，量化方法與質化方法的統一是無可避免的。且至今少有機會碰觸資訊處理技術的文科研究者，自然會對於使用文本探勘技術會裹足不前。於是本論文首先談論使用文本探勘技術的順序與注意事項。接著就以村上春樹《1973年的彈珠遊戲》為具體的事例，實際操練適合應用於人文科系的文本探勘的方法以及成果範例。進而依此結果提出新觀點。就創新應用方法來說，希望本論文的考察結果，能開啟台灣日語相關人文系科系領域的研究以及教育現場的AI技術應用的開端。

A central area of the ongoing third AI boom is natural language processing technology for processing human language. For humanities research, which has not been closely associated with information technology, the development of natural language processing is not only a threat to the replacement of language-related work, but also an opportunity to develop into a new field. This paper discusses the rapidly growing text mining technology in the field of natural language processing and considers the procedures and cautions for its application in humanities research on Japanese language. There are many essential differences in research directions and methods between the humanities, the natural sciences, and the social sciences, and imitating the methods of the natural and social sciences in the humanities will not produce any results. When text mining technology is applied to the humanities, the problem of unification of quantitative and qualitative methods is inevitable, and researchers who have not been exposed to information processing technology have a major problem in the field of pre-processing, which they can easily stumble upon. As a procedure, this paper describes the procedures and cautions related to pre-processing, then considers how to conduct analysis and apply the results of text mining to the study of the humanities, and presents a new perspective on the application of text mining technology to the humanities, using Haruki Murakami's Pinball, 1973 as a concrete example of analysis. We have shown that these processes are possible. We hope that by pioneering application methods, we can pave the way for the application of AI technology to research and education in the field of Japanese language and humanities in Taiwan.
