#DH2026 #Daejeon

Just now #DH2025, Sandra Balck (@traed.bsky.social) and Sascha Heße presenting the COMUTE project (Collation of Multilingual Text), run jointly by colleagues @unihalle.bsky.social @unipotsdam.bsky.social @freieuniversitaet.bsky.social.

"Fabulation and Care: What AI, Wikidata, and an XML Schema Can Recognize in Women's Biographies" -- @alisonbooth.bsky.social promises to be as cheekily adversarial to contemporary AI as possible. Interrogating (caringly) metaphors of text "mining," "distant" reading, &c.

#DH2025

Gephi Lite is great, it allows for a direct import of character network data from #DraCor, included in our "Tools" tab. Try the German "Hamlet" translation (Schlegel/Tieck edition 1843/44): dracor.org/id/gersh0000...

(Especially love the "Guess settings" option for ForceAtlas2 layouting!)

Slides from our #DH2025 presentation:

"Wikipedia as an Echo Chamber of Canonicity: ›1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die‹"

#DigitalHumanities @viktor.im @temporal-communities.de @freieuniversitaet.bsky.social

As expected: we need more diverse sources to study canonicity and world literature.

Great work!

#dh2025

💫 We just rolled out a new #DraCor release featuring significant improvements to the API, Frontend, and Schema.

I picked up a book and found myself a brain rot.

Konrad, ein Wanderer aus Thüringen hat eine mystische Begegnung. An einem stürmischen. Herbsttag trifft er an der Ostsee auf die Meerjungfrau Selina.

Allen AI has released a fully open (weights, data, and code) mixture-of-experts model. It's super small (1B active parameters out of 7B total) but has good performance for its size. Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2409.02060 #machinelearning #AI 🤖 🧪

Heads-up that I'll be speaking in this series on Oct 23, with the title "Why AI Needs the Humanities as a Partner."

What can literature and literary studies bring to LLMs and vice versa?
Our seminar on LLMs and Literature is up on ACLA2025 website! @arhanlon.bsky.social and I are excited to read your paper proposals. Please submit them via portal between September 13 and October 14.

How about using AI to recreate a lost romantic world?
