🚀 Just launched the #DigitalHumanities Early Career Fellowship at @unipotsdam.bsky.social
In the first class, we turned historical sources into data with OCR, discussed “what counts as data” in the humanities, did some metadata modeling, and met a wonderful new cohort of young researchers!

Had a nice morning visiting prof. Wincenty Lutosławski today. The grandpa is not very talkative these days, but still a great company👌
If you were wondering why Krakow attracts so many #DigitalHumanities action (from @teiconsortium.bsky.social to @jcls-io.bsky.social), it’s not only thanks to the great work by the DH centre of @jagiellonskiuni.bsky.social. We DHers just like our pilgrimages to the tomb of the founder of stylometry💁‍♂️

"The number of plays you can generate is larger than the number of atoms in the universe. In fact, one could generate as many plays as there are atoms in the universe FOR EACH atom in the universe". @viktor.im, @umblaetterer.bsky.social on generating TEI dramas with 🎲 (based on a 1829 book) #TEI2025

Capitalist LLMs are eating our smart & open humanities data and mashing it into gigantic word porridge... How can we reverse it? — @peertrilcke.bsky.social speaks about the MCP-empowered LLM Usage of #DraCor (or "How to teach Claude use the DraCor API")

How can we connect our smart humanities data to LLMs (when locking them away is not an option, because we want to follow ideas of open access and open science)? – a question raised and investigated with a DraCor-Claude-chatbot by the @dracor.org team at the #DraCorSummit

wow, what is this
I happened to accidentally find this edited volume on quantitative approaches to literature, from 1969. Never heard of it - even though it was co-edited by one of the big figures in narratology: Lubomir Doležel (another surprise). The minimalist plots here are ⚡️

It’s that "quiet" time of year when I finally face those emails I’ve been avoiding for weeks—sometimes months. Each reply is a tiny act of redemption. Painful, yes, but also such a sweet relief 🥲🙏
Forgive me lord, for I have procrastinated. A lot.

Do LLMs turn coders into „code-readers“ / „evaluators“? How do we teach Python when every beginner student can generate code that’s better and more complex than anything they can master in years of learning? Is the old teaching pipeline DONE? Shall we teach code interpretation? Discussing at #DH2025
