Today’s #highlight for me on the last day of #dh2025? Luca Giovannini presenting his "Modest Proposal for Operationalizing Dramatic Texts". He proposes drama vectorization not to simplify plays, but rather to continue formalist morphological thinking using computational tools. 🎭📊 #cls #drama

#dh2025: Amazing #cls work at the mini conference "The times they are a-changing". Judith Brottrager (TU Darmstadt) presents her #canonisation Score and explains how to use temporal filtering in network analysis of literary texts. Oh, and those are time-sensitive networks, not Dune sandworms. 🐛

#dh2025: My #highlight of the first day was @jbrottrager.bsky.social talking about her recently completed and defended Ph.D. thesis, "Relating the Unread." Congratulations again! 🥳 Your book will be the must-read in literary #canonization studies - don't make us wait too long! #cls

There are #interactive #visualizations like this drop-down menu option to see the most distinctive words either for an entire year, for a single abstract, or - wait for it - for an #author!
Give it a try and find out about your own #DHd conference abstracts! […]

Based on an analysis of #DHd conference abstracts, I trace the evolution of #cls methods from 2014 to 2025: from omnipresent #networkanalysis and #annotation, to the first appearance of #topicmodeling and #sentimentanalysis, to #deeplearning and #generativeai.

@alielassche.bsky.social presents joined work on #canonization, proposing "non-canonical canonicals", referring to earlier findings in Feldkamp et al. (2024). "A canonical textual profile is not enough to become canonical". #naacl2025 #sighum

@janispagel introduces #cls to the audience at #naacl2025 #sighum. The paper "Evaluating LLM-Prompting for Sequence Labeling Tasks in Computational Literary Studies" evaluates #sentimentanalysis and #eventdetection tasks with #LLMs. https://aclanthology.org/2025.latechclfl-1.0/

Back in Göttingen for a weekend of swimming to renew my lifeguard license, I am working remotely today from the library of my alma mater @unigoettingen. Seeing the first-year student activities, I'm reminded that 9 years ago this month, I was a new master student myself. How time flies!
