Last week, we held a small but intensive workshop in Darmstadt on how literary history and computation can go together. The talks either adapted traditional literary concepts for computational analysis or introduced new digital approaches. (1/3)
Participants of the Workshop "Literary History and Computation". Ten people standing in two rows outside the Wissenschaftsschloss Darmstadt.

Fellowship on AI and Knowledge at Wisconsin-Madison. H/T Scott Newstok irh.wisc.edu/irh-fellowsh... Deadline Nov 20.
The Center for Humanistic Inquiry into AI and Uncertainty, an autonomous research center administratively housed within the Institute for Research in the Humanities, is pleased to announce its first annual competition for one external fellowship for a scholar who is working on a project that explores the theme of “AI and Knowledge” from a humanistic (or descriptive social-scientific) perspective. Joining a team of three to four internal fellows studying AI and uncertainty at UW-Madison, the external fellow will undertake full-time research, participate in the Center’s intellectual community (including weekly meetings with the other fellows), collaborate on the publication and dissemination of the Center’s annual whitepaper, and contribute to the Center’s other activities. Thanks to an NEH AI Humanities research grant, external fellows will be in residence for the full academic year and will be given a $60,000 stipend, plus health benefits (if accepting the award through UW-Madison payroll), office space, and access to university facilities (libraries). Fellows may extend their residency through the following summer on a non-stipendiary basis. However, the fellowship may not be deferred for any reason.
