That’s my favourite dedication I’ve seen in 2025 …

Seit wann gibt es das Spiel "Stadt, Land, Fluss"? Antworten auf diese Frage hat Dr. Tarek Saier gefunden - mithilfe von Datensätzen, die bei uns an der #StabiBerlin publiziert wurden und dem klugen Einsatz von #KI. Mehr zu seinem Rechercheprojekt lest ihr hier 👉 blog.sbb.berlin/stadt_land_f...

Two results from the project "Human.Machine.Culture" at @stabiberlin.bsky.social published Guidelines for the Documentation of Ethical, Legal and Social Issues (ELSI) in Cultural Data doi.org/10.5281/zeno... Guidelines for the Publication of Cultural Data for AI Research doi.org/10.5281/zeno...

A note on the cost-benefit ratio of #chatgpt - a user of one of our datasets (doi.org/10.5281/zeno...) calculated the cost of what the use of GPT-5 would have been if the 5 million pages provided by us would have been processed using #OpenAI 's service: $1.2 million (gasp!) @stabiberlin.bsky.social

In the poster session at #CHR2025 starting at 5pm, our dear colleague Michał Bubula will present our short paper entitled "How Scalable is Quality Assessment of Text Recognition?" anthology.ach.org/volumes/vol0... Go there and talk to him since we aim to provide your high-quality research data!

Morgen, am Donnerstag den 11.12.2025 sind Nils Reiter & Janis Pagel vom CRETA-Verein bei der Poster-Session der CHR2025 Conference in Luxemburg anzutreffen. Sie stellen einen Ansatz zum Thema "Automatic detection and classification of literary character properties in German narratives" vor! #CHR2025

#FF2025 @danielvanstrien.bsky.social has published his workshop slides on #opensource AI for #GLAM 's danielvanstrien.xyz/slides.html I consider his readworthy contribution as the AI complement to my reflections on open data (and their shades) published here: mmk.sbb.berlin/2024/06/21/o...

Very cool! The Proceedings for #CHR2025 have already been published, now at the new and slick #ACH, the "Anthology of Computers and the Humanities", developed and maintained by ACH, the "Association for Computers and the Humanities". As an example, you can […] [Original post on fedihum.org]

Just posted my slides from the AI4LAM #FF2025 workshop on open source AI for GLAMs. Probably slides on their own aren't that useful, but they do feature one of my growing collection of libraries-and-AI memes, so there's that danielvanstrien.xyz/slides.html

#FF2025 pickings: This year has been extremely productive with regard to the AI & commons debate, as well as in view of the publication of open, public domain datasets. Paul Keller & Europeana Foundation: Publishing cultural heritage data in the age of AI, Dec 2025 openfuture.eu/publication/...

A colleague from the UK and I bring in our two cents on a highly divisive issue, written from the perspective of European CHIs and research libraries. A Position Paper on AI and Copyrights in Cultural Heritage and Research (EU and UK) doi.org/10.5334/johd.290 #genAI #commons #openness

Sigh. This topic #openness, intellectual property rights #IPR, #genAI is getting really complicated for #GLAM institutions. Wrote a blogpost to chart what's up in the EU and what we currently need: mmk.sbb.berlin/2024/03/13/o... Currently, there is no technical solution to implement an opt out...

New post on the "power hungry magic" of contemporary artificial intelligence published on the blog of the HumanMachineCulture project: Energy, CO2 intensity and sustainability as mostly overlooked issues in the deployment of GPTs. mmk.sbb.berlin/2024/01/26/p... #LLMs #ChatGPT #metaverse

Copyright is but one indicator of the value of digital texts, which have gone through a quality filter called ‚publishing houses‘. The same can apply to texts in the public domain, and GLAM institutions should reflect on this. Texts in open access are as well valuable, see doi.org/10.54900/zg9...

Dutch National Library restricts access for commercial AI Blocking is done via the robots.txt. Crawlers are thus excluded regardless of copyright. Consequently, public domain material is not accessible to the crawlers. Restriction is selective: Googlebot-image, dataforseo.com, GPTBot, ChatGPT-User

New post "Feeding the cuckoo" published on the blog of the MMK project, focusing on privacy issues in large language models, especially Google's Bard (my friend, the poet). mmk.sbb.berlin/2024/01/12/f... #LLMs #privacy #ChatGPT #ethics #elsi

Power Hungry Processing Luccioni, Jernite & Strubell, November 2023 "the most efficient text generation model uses as much energy as 16% of a full smartphone charge for 1,000 inferences, whereas the least efficient image generation model uses as much energy as 950 smartphone charges (11.49 kWh)"

I wrote a blogpost on LLMs and anthropomorphism for the blog of our project: mmk.sbb.berlin/2023/12/20/h... People who are a bit lonely before Christmas may want to read it…

Datasheets for Digital Cultural Heritage Datasets: doi.org/10.5334/johd.124 What are the characteristics of digital cultural heritage datasets? How would dataset documentation look like? We formulate a series of recommendations and propose a datasheet template, see: doi.org/10.5281/ZENODO.8375033
