Just finished it. It’s super weird it’s probably the only novel about digital humanities, as a social environment (working with a computer in a lit/ssh lab: should I learn program?) and a recursive theme (text is constantly self-conscious of lexical patterns). And it predates the word for decades.

Melanie Walsh @mellymeldubs.bsky.social and co-collaborators Sylvia Fernandez, Miriam Posner, Anna Preus, & Amardeep Singh’s project titled “Responsible Datasets in Context” received a Digital Project Award (Newcomer) from the American Studies Association. www.responsible-datasets-in-context.com

„Historisch gezien hadden veel lezers al een eclectische leesinteresse. Zelfs intellectuele lezers, zoals professoren, lazen zowel populaire als prestigieuze lectuur.” Federico Pianzola @stormluther.bsky.social @fpianz.bsky.social @nrc.nl @rug.nl #lezen #voornemens www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2025/...

To get that kind of storage, you’re looking at $10,000+ USD for enough hard drives and NAS systems to store the data. This makes me wonder who on earth has the resources to run these pirate sites. eve.gd/2026/01/01/t...

This story reminds us that: a) Not everything has been digitized b) Not everything digitized is accessible to the public Also: What's happening at NASA is part of a broader trend of library closures in government & industry. (Even university libraries are moving away from physical books & journals)

Overall, I’d say Pleias has become now one of the few AI labs that considers data as legitimate research, along with Gretel/Nvidia, Datalogyai, Nous, a few Chinese labs…. Which isn’t that hard since it’s still a fringe topic (you don’t easily get papers accepted).

I think this post nails the actual problem, for researchers at least—AI hallucinations would simply not be a problem in academic work if we’d not normalized citation-as-signaling rather than actual engagement—you can only cite a fake paper if you’re not in the habit of reading the papers you cite

This book is interesting. While it no doubt furthers the case that print had a major impact during the Song dynasty(960 to 1279), when it was adopted by the state and state actors, a couple of areas were completely unexplored. For ex, not a single surviving material text is discussed.

14 two-year postdocs for academics of any nationality who cannot continue their research due to US politics. Do share if you know of such.

Built a 2.5MB image classifier that runs in the browser in an evening with Claude Code. I used a dataset I labelled in 2022 and left on @hf.co for 3 years 😬. It finds illustrated pages in historical books. No server. No GPU.

It's a huge honor: being trusted with academic freedom offered by MPG. My group will study the evolution of arts. 1/3

Merriam-Webster’s human editors have chosen ‘slop’ as the 2025 Word of the Year.

A new study by @dbamman.bsky.social created a machine learning algorithm that can identify narrative storytelling elements in song lyrics. 🎵 📖 "There’s been less work on measuring narrativity or even operationalizing it within songs," said Bamman.

to my great surprise, we are left with some money for buying books for our team at the institute. Any recent recommendations in computational humanities, DH, poetics, verse studies, world lit / comparative lit? Let's go, internet! Self plugs are more than welcome.

Bolmo takes an existing Olmo 3 7B checkpoint and retrofits it into a fast, flexible byte-level architecture. It skips hand-engineered vocabularies and operates directly on UTF-8 bytes, handling spelling, edge cases, & multilingual scripts naturally.

Introducing Bolmo, a new family of byte-level language models built by "byteifying" our open Olmo 3—and to our knowledge, the first fully open byte-level LM to match or surpass SOTA subword models across a wide range of tasks. 🧵

Pleased to share that I've been awarded an NWO XS grant for "Terraforming from Above: Digital Methods for Colonial Aerial Photography" Between 1920-1949, Dutch pilots systematically photographed Indonesia from above, creating an unprecedented aerial archive of the colonial landscape.

Do you have what it takes?

A friendly time zone reminder for digital humanities folks: if you're submitting to @dh2026daejeon.bsky.social, 11:59 PM on 12/15 in Korea is 9:59 AM Eastern and 6:59 AM Pacific. Get your proposals in tonight or set a (very) early alarm tomorrow morning!

We are actively trying to spread the word globally beyond English-speaking institutions. We have been attending conferences and other events outside the US and speaking with researchers from South America, Asia, and Europe. If you can help us get the word out, it would be appreciated.

This week, I got to attend #CHR2025 with my colleagues and co-authors from Aarhus and beyond! I co-authored two papers this year: one on canonicity in painting and one on book culture in the periphery. What a way to end the year!🙏🏼🎉🎊 @comphumresearch.bsky.social anthology.ach.org/volumes/vol0...

We’ve got 8 PhD studentships open in Durham for interdisciplinary research, especially projects sitting at the intersection of humanities and sciences. Many music psychology projects can tick these boxes! Feel free to get in touch www.durham.ac.uk/departments/...

A hard problem with literary data is navigating btwn editions of books and what the "work," or the theoretical text that unites all editions. I've been lucky to work with @thisismattmiller.com and @mellymeldubs.bsky.social, who built a tool to address this + do much more arxiv.org/abs/2512.10165

Olmo 3.1 is here. We extended our strongest RL run and scaled our instruct recipe to 32B—releasing Olmo 3.1 Think 32B & Olmo 3.1 Instruct 32B, our most capable models yet. 🧵

during neurips, we kept the RL run going & model kept getting better 😂 Olmo 3.1 is a.. 🐡 32B Thinking, still best fully-open model to-date 🐠 32B Instruct, for ppl who hate long yapping, as good as qwen3 we added 10 more pages to the paper! thx for community feedback from convos at neurips
