For the last two weeks the fortext lab hosted the Georgian DH-Expert Irakli Khvedelidze (Shota Rustaveli Institute of Georgian Literature). Alongside various meetings exchanging experiences and ideas, Irakli gave a public talk on research in the field of Digital Literary Studies in Georgia. (1/5)

🎥 In an online workshop on on the use of AI in university teaching, organised by the workgroup Digitale Romanistik in cooperation with Text+, Mari und @haimostiemer.bsky.social are giving a presentation today on „ChatGPT as a literary writing tool“. #LLMs #ChatGPT #CLS #DHteaching

Last week was the first fortext lab-workshop of 2025! Twice a year, the fortext lab comes together for several days to look back on the past six months, reflect on our best practices for good collaboration, discuss our current research, and plan the next half-year. #CLS #DH #DigitalHumanities (1/4)

Last week I attended the @rc21project.bsky.social symposium in the beautiful Kollegienhaus in Erlangen. I appreciated the focus on theoretical considerations around concordance analysis and the openness to discuss advantages and disadvantages in regards to ‘manual’ research. #RC21Symposium (1/2)

Next up: Julian Häußler gives us his take on integrating concordance analysis into teaching distributional semantics

Today I attended the Reading Concordances Training Day in Erlangen (@rc21project.bsky.social). It was really interesting to learn about an algorithmic view of concordance analysis, focused on sorting, ordering and grouping operations. #RC21Symposium (1/2)

The entire fortext lab team will be attending this year's #DHd2025 conference!

What a week! An insightful #DH2024 in Washington, D.C is over. We introduced our project KatKit (@gerstorfer.bsky.social , @julianhaeussler.bsky.social, @evelyngius.bsky.social) with which we want to give food for thought on how category theory can be used for (literary) operationalization.

#DH2024 is already in full swing and @julianhaeussler.bsky.social already gave a lightning talk on our KatKit project at one of the workshops on Monday. Come to his long presentation on the project today at 10:30 in Van Metre Hall 134.
