Evgeniia Fileva presents CLS INFRA research at yesterday’s “Comparative Literature Goes Digital” #DH2025 Mini-Conference dls.hypotheses.org/1952
A conference room with a presentation slide displayed on a projector screen. The slide is titled "Multilingual Stylometry" and discusses the influence of language on the performance of authorship attribution using corpora from the European Literary Text Collection (ELTeC). The authors listed are Evgenia Fileva, Julia Havyrlash, Christof Schöch, and Artjoms Šeļa. There is a QR code for accessing the presentation.

Our Closing Event may have concluded, but CLS INFRA members continue to present project work at CCLS! @jcls-io.bsky.social

Here’s Bartek Kunda with our project poster, while Maciej Eder delivered the conference keynote yesterday.
A person wearing a black 'CLSINFRA' t-shirt stands next to a large poster titled 'CLS INFRA: Leveraging Computational Literary Methods.' The poster includes sections on VELD and CLSciro, user needs beyond academia, prototypes and pipelines (NER, REX, ABSA), reproducibility with DraCor, and training and internationalisation. Diagrams, QR codes, and logos of partner institutions are also visible. Some text is partially obscured or unreadable due to the person’s position and image resolution. Three people stand in a well-lit hallway in front of a series of academic posters mounted on partition walls. The visible poster on the left is titled 'CLS INFRA: Leveraging Computational Literary Methods' and includes sections on leveraging NLP and AI for literary studies—such as text mining, named entity recognition, sentiment analysis, and topic modeling. It also mentions use cases in research and education, lists project partners, and displays logos of funding organizations.

…of course, some were better-dressed than others.
A group of six people stands indoors, all wearing black t-shirts with the text 'CLSINFRA' printed on them. They are posing in front of a purple banner that reads 'CLSINFRA COMPUTATIONAL LITERARY STUDIES INFRASTRUCTURE.' The background includes a wooden door and some office furniture.
