it's interesting to project the chatgpt's style into the past -- read historical texts with an LLM detector.
What are its precursors? What are the linguistic registers on which it depends?
Back-cover publisher texts seems like one good candidate to me

3.Modern expansion. The modernity in European poetry came with accentual-syllabic meters (that count syllables and stresses, like in iambics). Many emerging national literatures adopted it. Alignment works across languages and meters, showing local variation and global similarity of related forms 5/

2. Renaissance meter: here we trace one form across many languages. Best known for Petrarch's endecasillabo, in West Germanic languages it developed into this little thing called iambic pentameter.
Using short samples across traditions we are able to detect three groups / waves of the diffusion! 4/

1. Oddities in Catullus: on the plot you can see that Carmina 55 clusters outside of the main group. Why? In this text, two short syllables get replaced by one long (normal in Latin, but not in this meter). This happens systematically only here, and the method is sensitive enough to pick it up 3/

📊 We validate the method by classifying different meters.
It works just fine, outperforming strong baselines. However, the method's real potential is in historical studies. We demonstrate it in three showcases that cover Latin, Renaissance and modern forms ... 2/

@rantyben.bsky.social at @plottingpoetry.bsky.social 8 talking about syntactic features in Latin poetry for identifying authorial style. My favorite: meters strike back again, shaping elegiac vs. hexameter syntax into very, very different forms.

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.

Visited Lukács’ grave today in Budapest at Fiumei.
I want to believe the old man would enjoy red dianthus — an old symbol of hope and solidarity.

stumbled upon an early use of directed graph as a model of narrative. it's early 1970s, and it's not based on dialogue! have you heard about it? @danja.bsky.social @lucagiovannini.bsky.social @umblaetterer.bsky.social

the launch of the Computational Humanities Research Journal is a major talking point at #CHR2024. promises to play a central role in the community, clearly moving in a very important open niche.
