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

To use small (large) language models might need more thorough planing and preparation in the humanistic project, but it comes with more insight into wether and how it fits the task – now Thomas Jäger from the University of Vienna is reporting on the use of LLMs in drama analysis #DraCorSummit

Yesterday on my stroll through Berlin-Dahlem, where the #DraCorSummit takes place, I stumbled upon this information about how this place is humming of insects (again). This afternoon we will explore how GerDraCor is populated by animals and plants in our talk „ecologies on stage“ – looking forward!
