### ProofLab: Exploring Language Networks Through AI and Data Science
Have you ever wondered how languages are connected beyond geography and history?
Join us this August as Engr. Bob Mathew D. Sunga, MSDS—Tech Hub Engineer L2, Professional Lecturer, Data Scientist, and Researcher—introduces ProofLab World Lexical Language Network, a reproducible platform that transforms thousands of languages into a network based on lexical similarity. Instead of viewing languages as isolated systems, ProofLab models them as interconnected nodes, allowing researchers to explore how vocabulary reveals relationships between languages.
In this session, you'll discover how graph analytics and network science can be applied to linguistic data, including concepts such as centrality, community detection, clustering, and lexical similarity. You'll also learn how lexical distances are converted into weighted language networks, providing new ways to analyze language families and identify bridge languages across communities.
Whether you're interested in AI, data science, graph analytics, computational linguistics, or research, this meetup offers a fascinating look at how interdisciplinary approaches can uncover hidden patterns in one of humanity's most fundamental systems—language.
Come learn, ask questions, and connect with fellow members of the DEP AI Study Group!
See you on August 14 at 7:00 PM on DEP Discord!
