🚀 Just launched the #DigitalHumanities Early Career Fellowship at @unipotsdam.bsky.social ✅ In the first class, we turned historical sources into data with OCR, discussed “what counts as data” in the humanities, did some metadata modeling, and met a wonderful new cohort of young researchers! #DH

Es ist endlich der 20.! Vielen Dank an Frank (@umblaetterer.bsky.social), Peer (@peertrilcke.bsky.social) & Julia (@juliajbeine.bsky.social) für das Interview – & an alle Teilnehmenden des #DraCorSummit, die sich mit uns unterhalten haben! Und hier geht's zur Folge: radihum20.de/radihum...#DraCorSummit,1/2

Had a nice morning visiting prof. Wincenty Lutosławski today. The grandpa is not very talkative these days, but still a great company👌

"The number of plays you can generate is larger than the number of atoms in the universe. In fact, one could generate as many plays as there are atoms in the universe FOR EACH atom in the universe". @viktor.im, @umblaetterer.bsky.social on generating TEI dramas with 🎲 (based on a 1829 book) #TEI2025

In just a few seconds, we’ll be presenting our #TEI2025 talk: »Generating TEI Documents Through a Game of Dice« 🎲 Slides: lehkost.github.io/slides/2025-... Web app: temporal-communities.github.io/999/ @freieuniversitaet.bsky.social @temporal-communities.de @schwindt.bsky.social @viktor.im

Margarita Vaysman & I have been working on this for the past 5 (!) years, but it's finally done- the online version is up and the hardcover should be out later this month! Welcome to the Oxford Handbook of Global Realisms, feat. 41 chapters and beautiful cover art: academic.oup.com/edited-volum... 🎉

and what a battle it was! 👏 #DraCor #battleoftheplays

The #DraCorSummit Barcamp turned into an actual camp 🏕️ Discussing characters & types on #DraCor under apple trees🌳 Waiting for a Newtonian 🍏 eureka 😜

Capitalist LLMs are eating our smart & open humanities data and mashing it into gigantic word porridge... How can we reverse it? — @peertrilcke.bsky.social speaks about the MCP-empowered LLM Usage of #DraCor (or "How to teach Claude use the DraCor API") Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2508.13774 #DraCorSummit

How can we connect our smart humanities data to LLMs (when locking them away is not an option, because we want to follow ideas of open access and open science)? – a question raised and investigated with a DraCor-Claude-chatbot by the @dracor.org team at the #DraCorSummit

From LLM agents for #DraCor to operationalisation of sound in Drama: the 2nd Workshop on Computational Drama Analysis is starting right now at the #DraCorSummit. The workshop reader with all 11 papers is online: zenodo.org/records/1693...

See how #DraCor neatly builds into the very circle of life!🐝 The conference reader with all papers, including the one about animals and plants in the German drama, is online: zenodo.org/records/1693... #DraCorSummit

“Performances dissolve in the darkness of the stage.” — Clarisse Bardiot (@univrennes2.bsky.social) at #DraCorSummit, on turning theatre programmes into structured data with ontologies and the role of LLMs in that process 🎭🤖 #DraCor

✨ We're kicking off the #DraCorSummit 2025 in Berlin today! 5 days of digital drama analysis, enhancing #DraCor, and celebrating #OpenScience with participants from around the world at @freieuniversitaet.bsky.social. Programme: summit.dracor.org @temporal-communities.de @unipotsdam.bsky.social

Im #DramaCorporaProjekt sind tausende von Dramen der europ. Literaturgeschichte frei verfügbar. Das #DraCorSummit2025 für internat. Forschende wird vom @dhpotsdam.bsky.social mit der Professur für #DigitalHumanities der @freieuniversitaet.bsky.social ausgerichtet: www.uni-potsdam.de/de/medieninf...

wow, what is this

Still amazed I have to make THIS choice when I submit a bloody tax declaration 🤣😈

It’s that "quiet" time of year when I finally face those emails I’ve been avoiding for weeks—sometimes months. Each reply is a tiny act of redemption. Painful, yes, but also such a sweet relief 🥲🙏 Forgive me lord, for I have procrastinated. A lot.

What is a scene in a novel? And how do we teach computers to detect them? (SPOILER: no, tossing it into the latest GPT does NOT solve it!) A deep & thoughtful study of scene segmentation✂️ in US romance novels by: @guhrs.bsky.social Huijun Mao Fengyi Lin @alexsherman.bsky.social‬ Mark Algee-Hewitt

#DH2025: Another #alignment project in #CLS. @anastasiaglawion.bsky.social and Dhara Lechner of @dhssfau.bsky.social present their work on "Tracing #Transformation: editorial shifts in the Grimm brothers’ tales". #FairyTales #German-language #fiction

yes PLEASE

Do LLMs turn coders into „code-readers“ / „evaluators“? How do we teach Python when every beginner student can generate code that’s better and more complex than anything they can master in years of learning? Is the old teaching pipeline DONE? Shall we teach code interpretation? Discussing at #DH2025

What is literary canon from the Wikipedia stats perspective? Great data-based insight from Jonas Rohe, @viktor.im Lisa Poggel, and @umblaetterer.bsky.social

Let the #DH2025 conference officially begin 🎉 #Lisboa #DigitalHumanities #Lisbon #OpenScience

Stylo got the Zampolli prize for outstanding output in #DigitalHumanities 🏆 Congrats to Maciej Eder, @mikekestemont.bsky.social, Jan Rybicki, Joanna Byszuk, and all involved with the Computational Stylistics Group!👏 Prev. recipients were Voyant Tools, TEI, R. Siemens, C. Gaffield #DH2025 #stylometry

Wow, we just converted a room full of digital humanists into a working, living Markov chain that generates text! #DH2025 Awesome class on synthetic image generation by Alison Langmead & David Newbury

An updated #DraCor with blackjack and enhanced API 😎 Just in time for #DH2025 👌

Waiting for you all at #CCLS2026 in Potsdam! 🌞

Enjoyed CLS INFRA workshop on social network analysis in humanities by @danja.bsky.social‬ yesterday. Especially useful examples of SNA use in humanities projects, and introduction to the ezlinavis.dracor.org tool (see examples on there) for easy creation of CSVs for networks.

@danja.bsky.social, University of Potsdam & @dracor.org, our first presenter to sport a fashionable CLS INFRA t-shirt, discusses the work of WP7 on programmable corpora: zenodo.org/records/7664...

Live from Kraków: our own @danja.bsky.social presenting results from WP 7, focusing on the @dracor.org prototype, at the CLS INFRA Closing Event. #digitalhumanities

Do you now also procrastinate halfway through writing a complex prompt that pulls in all sorts of heterogeneous sources? (there goes another tech marvel rendered inefficient by inherent human laziness)

What a great time we had in Potsdam two weeks ago! 💚 @dinaraamirovna.bsky.social @dhpotsdam.bsky.social @danja.bsky.social @lucagiovannini.bsky.social @dhssfau.bsky.social

You can tell apart iambic and trochaic meters just by measuring the frequency of ONE word. At least in Czech, where it's not easy to do iambic poetry without adding monosyllabic words at the beginning @artjomshl.bsky.social explains the relation between frequencies and meters at the #DHSpringSchool

I keep hearing about oh-so-bad environmental impact of my LLM usage. We'll here's some fact: a year of your GPT-4 use (100 interactions / day!) is 10 km of car ride or 2 hot baths. I do not have a car, ride a bike, & do not have a bathtub. So pls FUCK OFF my GPT subscription, I'll use it all over.

👀 Sneak peek alert! Our „Text as Data“ #DHSpringSchool merch just landed in Potsdam – fresh stickers & mugs ready to go! ☕✨ Only a few more days until we kick off on Monday – we can't wait to welcome all the participants and teachers💙 #DigitalHumanities #DH2025 www.uni-potsdam.de/de/digital-h... 📦👇

Plausible theory of the current insanity I owe to @ecourtem.bsky.social: 1) Before social media, women couldn't share experiences directly (unmediated by men) on a scale to generate phenomena like MeToo. 2) A lot of anti-woke reaction is masculine horror at getting called on their bullshit.

📍Save the date: 2027-03-01 – 2027-03-05 (1. – 5. März 2027) Die #DHd2027 (Digital Humanities im deutschsprachigen Raum 2027) findet in Marburg statt / The DHd 2027 conference will take place in Marburg at @unimarburg.bsky.social #DigitalHumanities

Die #DHd2025 Konferenz beginnt / the #DHd2025 conference is starting at Uni Bielefeld 🎉 Many thanks to @jberenike.bsky.social and the whole orga team for a lively & engaging opening ceremony! 👏

I just realized what the whole Trump shitstorm reminds me of: 34 years ago, the country I was born in—the USSR—went full bananas, started making crazy 180-turns, and collapsed purely due to internal contradictions, much to the surprise of its adversaries. Now the West seems to be on the same path

So, when the US invades Greenland, will Danish universities ban American scholars from visiting? My bet is no. You only have to be responsible for the actions of your president if you are from the list of "bad" countries.
