“Tahnk you for reaching put! I will be OOOO four the holiday brake and look forward too connection when I return!”

There isn't a single problem "solved" by edtech that couldn't be fixed with smaller classes led by well-paid teachers given real academic freedom

What an absolute pleasure it was to attend the 6th edition of CHR! Huge thanks to everyone who helped make this edition even better than the last #CHR2025 Onward to Manchester, home of some wonderful computing history: www.atlasobscura.com/articles/com...

Very happy to present the paper that @joeymccollum.bsky.social and I wrote on applying Bayesian phylogenetics to the medieval Dutch Martijn Trilogy at #CHR2025 :)

Presented my paper "The One and Only? Authorship Verification on Jan van Boendale and the Middle Dutch Antwerp School" on #CHR2025 and it won the ERC Best Long Paper Award! Delighted and grateful :) @comphumresearch.bsky.social

What do we reveal about ourselves when we talk to AI? 🤔💭 In our new WiAIR – Women in AI Research episode, we speak with Maria Antoniak about personal disclosures in human–LLM conversations — and what they mean for ethical AI development. (1/8🧵)

improving authorship attribution using phonetic features — fascinating work by Simon Gabay, @floriancafiero.bsky.social, and Jean-Luc Falcone at #CHR2025

@wenyishang.bsky.social and @emilyue.bsky.social built a remark-based classifier, checking the consistency between 6th century Chinese poetry criticism and “grades” assigned to classical Chinese poetry #CHR2025

the original masking objective, or: filling in the black d•t in EEBO-TCP transcriptions, presented at #CHR2025 by Kiara M.H. Liu, Martin Mueller and @mattwilkens.bsky.social

@jbarre.bsky.social, @oseminck.bsky.social, Antoine Bourgois, and @tpoibeau.bsky.social built a detective detector, tracing the different archetypes in French detective fiction #CHR2025

cool work at #CHR2025 by @julianeugarten.bsky.social on the sentiment trajectories in fanfiction! @comphumresearch.bsky.social

Excited to be in Luxembourg at CHR 2025 to hear about everyone’s amazing work and to share my project with @mellymeldubs.bsky.social and our team. We tracked canonical authors and texts in Seattle Public Library circulation data.

I made a feed for #CHR2025 @comphumresearch.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/did:...

Incredible keynote by @miguelev.bsky.social at @comphumresearch.bsky.social #CHR2025 on what he calls “exploratory finetuning”! Drawing on EDA, art, STS and DH to develop innovative ways to OCR right to left languages (ex Malaysian) and theorizing the method. Such exciting cutting edge work!

I just presented my podcast dataset at #CHR2025. Interested in analysing 412 days worth of podcast episodes? You can find the fully transcribed dataset here: zenodo.org/records/1746... 🎙️

I added a new post on my research blog last week. I wanted to react to a post from Dan Cohen that I've seen circulating on BlueSky last week about Gemini 3, and figured I would add my critical 2 cents to the mix! alix-tz.github.io/phd/posts/025/

📢 Deadline Extended! #DH2026 @dh2026daejeon.bsky.social proposal submissions now open until December 15, 2025 (KST). Please share! 🔂 📍 Daejeon, South Korea | July 27–31, 2026 🎯 Theme: "Engagement" Submit your long/short papers, posters, workshops & mini-conferences! 🔗 dh2026.adho.org/cfp

Read my🧵about our new #AIstories publication, by @annesigrid.bsky.social - read on for floating motifs, cannibalism and more! And honestly just to understand more about what actually characterises LLM-generated storytelling.

“The Software Paper fills a gap for the computational and digital humanities communities...” Thank you to research software engineer extraordinaire @suttonkoeser.bsky.social for leading this initiative for Computational Humanities Research journal. Please share!

🗓️ The #CHR2025 programme is online! Browse what’s on the menu here: 2025.computational-humanities-research.org/programme/ Proceedings are coming soon as well. Don’t forget: registration closes on 20 November! #computationalhumanitiesresearch

I curated some readings for class on "data tensions" and the list felt worth sharing. Come on a tour of datasets, books, the web, and AI with me... We'll start with this piece on the Google Books project: the hopes, dreams, disasters, and aftermath of building a public library on the internet. 1/n

📣 New preprint! We know humans are biased against AI-creativity. But what about LLMs, now often judging creativity in various contexts? Do they replicate, transform, or amplify this bias? We tested it. Turns out: AI is 2.5X more biased against its own work than humans. arxiv.org/pdf/2510.08831 🧵

Can AI be creative if it doesn't believe it can? We asked 556 humans and 13 LLMs to judge creative writing. Then we lied about who wrote what. Result: AI has learned to distrust itself, showing 2.5× stronger bias than humans against AI-labeled creativity. Proud of this work with @mmvty.bsky.social 👇

I made a lil game inspired by the Wordle universe. It's called Versedle (pronounced Verse-a-dle). You guess who wrote famous lines of literature. As my parents can attest, it's hard! I made them an Easy Mode, but it's still kinda hard. Maybe you'll like it! ▶️ 📚: melaniewalsh.github.io/versedle/

Modeling Culture explores AI not only as a technology to critique, but as a new mode of inquiry for research and interpretation. Three interconnected components will unfold in 2025-26: a faculty and grad seminar, a public lecture series, and an open-access curriculum. Public talk details in thread👇

"Writing an essay is hard because it forces you to use your brain in ways you haven't before, and that is precisely why it's useful." For our August feature, we invited science fiction writer Ted Chiang to respond to a series of questions related to AI and its impact on humanities scholarship.

Last week, @evelyngius.bsky.social presented at the 40th Annual International Conference on Narrative, hosted by the Science & Fiction Lab at Florida International University. She joined a roundtable discussion exploring computational approaches to narrative studies in the age of AI. (1/5)

This paper on LLM and Authorship Attribution picks up my 2024 article with @wouterhaverals.bsky.social & @rantyben.bsky.social, though the authors miss the finer point that our article is actually about "Translator" Verification - not entirely the same problem! aclanthology.org/2024.nlp4dh-...

CATMuS 1.6.0 will see the light of the day in January. If all goes well, we should see roughly 40 to 50 new manuscripts, with 1 to 10 pages per manuscripts, in: - Italian - Latin - Spanish - Occitan (New to the group :) )

And the runner ups of the Best Short Paper Award: 🎖"Abbreviation Application: A Stylochronometric Study of Abbreviations in the Oeuvre of Herne’s Speculum Scribe" by Caroline Vandyck & @mikekestemont.bsky.social 🎖"SCIENCE IS EXPLORATION" by @rmmhicke.bsky.social & Ross Deans Kristensen-McLachlan

Shoutout to our CDH team at #CHR2024 @suttonkoeser.bsky.social, @laurejt.bsky.social, & @wouterhaverals.bsky.social! If you want to follow along, here's a great "feed of posts and replies about the Computational Humanities Research (CHR) 2024 conference in Aarhus" organized by @mariaa.bsky.social.

We’re back and bigger than ever! 🎉 The #CHR2024 conference has officially started at Aarhus University. More submissions, more papers, and more participants than ever before. Let’s make it an unforgettable week!

Time for the LLMs session at #chr2024! "Remember to Forget: A Study on Verbatim Memorization of Literature in Large Language Models" presented by Olga Seminck They replicated @kentkchang.bsky.social's name cloze task for books memorization, using English and French books.

Getting excited for CHR 2024 and hygge and the chance to talk about humanities-forward approaches to AI/ML research. It's a topic I've been thinking a lot about in the past few months/years and in this talk maybe, just maybe, it's coming together into a thing?

The example problem is based on work I did with @wouterhaverals.bsky.social and Pieter Beullens in 2023 regarding a couple of medieval translations where the translator is undetermined. (we will be revisiting this issue later this month in Leuven dcagreeklatin.web.rug.nl/2024-edition/ with new toys)
