AI-Driven Metaphor Field-Loop Theory

An integrated platform—resulting from PhD research—to register, analyze and explore cultural metaphors at scale.

This application supports the PhD research question: “Can an AI-enabled system help us understand how cultural narratives are configured, and how do they prime social mobilization?”

Built on Metaphor Field-Loop Theory (Valdivia, 2019) and powered by natural language processing.
