✍️ Our paper is finally out!
All poetic forms come from somewhere, but figuring out their relationships is hard.
We use sequence alignment on scansion (010.10) to measure metrical similarity between poems. This allows us to detect related forms across languages and times 1/

A scholar possessing a singular vision and a frightening working resilience, he was hounded by Stalin repression machine, exiled, denied academic positions, firewood and food; his work was largely forgotten until 2000s.
So we, who were influenced by him at the rise of DH, keep remembering.

Computational poetics archaeology: today I've read some of Geir Kjetsaa's articles on poetry data analysis made in 1970s using Fortran 🤖 Kjetsaa was a Norwegian slavist and he is known for his works on authorship attribution, but not comp poetics(?). Plot: sth like ttr for 3 poets, x=tokens, y=words

been using Notion AI's "improve text" on my abstracts quite a lot and it was fine... but baby it just went wild as soon as it recognized that i was writing a cover letter 👹 feels bad thinking how much more cover letters it might have eaten in comparison with literary or well less-nonsense texts
