I had fun presenting some of my PhD obsessions about the french detective novel in Würzburg. Thank you @fotisjannidis.bsky.social for the invitation ! The whole team is impressive, brand new building and talented people, the future of DH is actually here 🤩

15 positions in AI at Paris Sciences et Lettres, computational social science and ethics very much included. I believe these are four-year "fellow" positions requiring some teaching during that term. #MLSky recrutement.psl.eu/en/pnp8wd2rbs

It's been delayed a little, but here — at last — is the CFP for Schmidt Sciences' Humanities and AI Virtual Institute, to support research "at the intersection of AI and the humanities." Expressions of interest are due April 4th. Pls RT! www.schmidtsciences.org/humanities-a...

Hi academic people! In case you missed it: The German National Library offers access to its huge collection in the "DH Call" You can still apply until 30 April 2025 More info in this website. If you need help, contact me and I'll try my best! www.dnb.de/EN/Professio...

Google quietly updated their ngrams viewer again this year. The books used appear to be extremely different yet again--the rate of the words "she said" are about 60% what they were in the 20th century compared to the 2019 release, and just 20% compared to 2009. But there's a catch:

The next Computational Humanities Research conference #CHR2025 will take place at the Centre for Contemporary and Digital History (C²DH) in Luxembourg! 🇱🇺 #CHR2024

Reminder that we have two open calls for special issues, as well as a general call, deadline Jan 1. Missing Data in the Humanities: www.cambridge.org/core/journal... LLMs in Humanities Research: www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

At the intro meeting at #CHR2024 for the new Computational Humanities Research Journal. Q: If a piece is published at the conference, does it also appear in the journal? A: No, need to submit separately. Journal articles should be a bit longer, maybe include more experiments.

That is so useful. Thanks a lot!

You get an extension, and *you* get an extension! The #DH2025 call for proposals is extended to December 8!

Didn't find one, so made a computational literary studies starter pack, with notable bunch of european folks and early career scholars. My circle here is small, so please reply/dm to be added or removed and suggest people from your networks! go.bsky.app/4et1nxZ

Starter packs seem all the rage so here’s a cultural evolution one go.bsky.app/6mZJyQq

Hi narrative & dh folks - of the DH crowd, who is coming to CHR in Denmark in Dec? I am pondering a mini-workshop at the intersection of narrative gen and DH, basically to get friends (and me) together so everyone meets? cc @tedunderwood.me @andrewpiper.bsky.social @mariaa.bsky.social #games #dh

Does anyone use Transkribus that has annotations of historical handwriting? I'm going to be training open-source fine-tuned Qwen 2 VL models over the next few months. If you would like to have a free open-source model trained on your data, please comment here.

The TEI Consortium has posted its 'In Memoriam' for Dr C. Michael Sperberg-McQueen: tei-c.org/2024/08/18/c... 😢😭 A loss to the world and those interested in text technologies. We'll remember him at #TEI2024 and always. #RIP #XML #XSD #iXML #W3C #XSLT #TEI

This looks like such an cool study (h/t @rachaelbrown.bsky.social )

New updated SEP entry on The Neuroscience of Consciousness by Wayne Wu and Jorge Morales (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy) plato.stanford.edu/entries/cons...

Fun side project from Joel Lehman using sentence embeddings to identify books that Goodreads reviewers most often described as life-changing. Found it interesting that it barely correlates with the book's rating avg on the 5-star scale.
