I am super excited to see this project! I'd love to know your experience working with TEI and why you ended up removing it, we chose not to use it for our project, but we might try out topic modeling. Your midterm is pretty similar to ours, and it looks like you did a great job equally sharing tasks. Sending good vibes for midterms!

I think it's interesting that you have two schemas, one in Arabic and one in English. Are these schema's identical or do the language differences require more complex variance in the schemas? You said you narrowed down your research question and discussed your final title, could you post the final question and title in your next update? I'm very interested in hearing what they are.
