Perhaps still the best general purpose explainer of how an LLM works and the one I give to students. Here’s why I like it (short🧵): ig.ft.com/generative-ai/

Faust beats Hamlet! 🃏💥 Our research group @temporal-communities.de was visited by two 11th grade English courses from Arndt-Gymnasium Dahlem for a "Battle of the Plays" tournament! www.temporal-communities.de/news/2025/ba... Rules of play & ordering options: battle-of-the-plays.github.io #DraCor

⚡Nationalism has reshaped and destabilized the world. Is its rise today a contradiction to globalization, or part of it? In the new #AskDifferent podcast episode, historian @mgoebel.bsky.social @freieuniversitaet.bsky.social explores the deep roots of the concept. www.einsteinfoundation.de/podcast

I'm so excited for this. As @ryancordell.bsky.social says, Dan Evans has done a terrific job, with the assistance of Ben Galewsky in Illinois computing. Thanks also to @dennmis.bsky.social and Freie Universität Berlin, who hosted the hackathon that gave us an additional push.

Data & Society is hiring a rsch + ref librarian to help them "figure out better methods for making [their] rsch visible, discoverable, + durable" — and to create new methods of repository building to foreground the work of "lay experts, radical thinkers, community organizers, activist scholars"

How do we make research data from Digital Humanities more findable? Hackathon on annotation and enrichment of research data. Looking forward to two days of interdisciplinary work! @ryancordell.bsky.social @dasmiq.bsky.social www.ada.fu-berlin.de/events/avh-h... #ResearchData #DigitalHumanities

A reminder: we’re hosting a hack-a-thon at the Ada Lovelace Center for DH at the Freie Universität in Berlin July 8-9, focused on the reuse/layering/interoperability of DH datasets—we have a nice group already but would be happy to have a few more! www.ada.fu-berlin.de/events/avh-h...

I'm looking forward to joining @ryancordell.bsky.social , @dennmis.bsky.social and others at the Ada Lovelace Center for Digital Humanities in Berlin in July. Sign up if you want to help build some research data infrastructure!

July 8-9 we’re hosting a 2-day hackathon at Freie Universität Berlin to start building a tool that overlays derived research data—like ours in Viral Texts—with its source data collections—like Chronicling America—would love to have some DH/digital libraries folks www.ada.fu-berlin.de/events/avh-h...

This looks like a fascinating way to teach an AI grad seminar—I’m particularly thinking about in my iSchool context—library/archival studies as a framework for AI

Now that the semester’s wound up, I wanted to share the readings Giulia Taurino and I and the students in our seminar on Artificial Intelligence as an Archival Science put together. We had a great time, they wrote some good papers, and hopefully this will be useful. github.com/dasmiq/cs718...

If you happen to be near Berlin—I’m giving my first talk of the summer next Wednesday, May 15, at Freie’s Dahlem Humanities Center. "The Scissors, the Paste-Pot, & the Large Language Model" will ask what C19 newspaper reprinting might teach us about LLMs & vice versa www.fu-berlin.de/sites/dhc/pr...

About to talk about Viral Texts in Berlin with @ryancordell.bsky.social Thanks to @dennmis.bsky.social Freie Universität and Zuse Institute!

@ryancordell.bsky.social & David Smith on the learnings on small data from the Viral Text Project. In their talk „All Datasets are small (if you zoom far enough) #smallDataAnalysis #DH-Math mathplus.de/topic-develo...

⚡️ We just released a major new DraCor update (dracor.org), the first version of the DraCor API we consider stable (1.0.0). Blogpost: weltliteratur.net/streamlining... A joint effort 🦾 by Digital Humanities folks at University of Potsdam, @freieuniversitaet.bsky.social, CLS INFRA, EXC2020.
