If you are using #transkribus, be aware that any of your ground truth / private transcriptions can be used by Transkribus to train supermodels without your knowledge and acknowledgment. It may not be a problem for you, however, if it is, consider alternatives like #escriptorium. #atr #htr

🧵 Five years ago @yaelrice.bsky.social and I published this so that no one would have to reinvent the wheel of revealing why research like this is so misguided it defies sense. hyperallergic.com/604897/how-s...

but, because it is LONG and "detailed", it is given more weight. If you are out there doing this, then why are you in the academy? This is a research conference, not an exam, and I am not your student to be 'corrected'.

End of the TranscriboQuest 2025, funded by @biblissima.bsky.social and @atrium-eu.bsky.social and we are starting to present each team datasets. First, medieval vernaculars with German, Swedish, Irish, Spanish

Distributed Text Services just reached 1.0 Release Candidate (1) ! We strongly encourage you to implement DTS now and share your feedback. The specification is feature-complete and stable, and we expect only minor clarifications before the final 1.0 release in 3 months (11/10/2025). w3id.org/dts/

In #DigiClass seminar today, @ponteineptique.bsky.social talking about contributions of Distributed Text Services to TEI citation structures handling. www.youtube.com/live/s1po4jV... #TEIFriday

As of version 2.0.0, Hooktest will not support any longer Capitains as its base library, as well as CTS Guidelines, and will move to dapytains. If Hooktest is critical in your workflows, pin the version to HookTest<1.0.0. For the new hooktest, see github.com/cllg-project...

Tomorrow, at 5PM BST, I will talk about the Distributed Text Services in the context of Classics (I'll be on site, in London), and the recent tooling progress that happened. I hope to have more of a discussion after an introduction to the topic :) #Digiclass classicalassociation.org/events/digit...

I'm happy to share with you that my article, "La traduction automatique dialectale: état de l'art et étude préliminaire sur le continuum dialectal de l'occitan", received the 🥇 Best Paper Award in the RJC track of conference TALN 2025 ! 🔗 lnkd.in/eYM_J-pM

The draft program is available and early bird registration for the TEI Annual Meeting in Krakow is open! Register by July 8 for the lower rate! tei-c.org/news/2025/06...

One DTS service 🥰

💥 New in OA from me & friends! www.cambridge.org/core/journal... I had this 'lol, maybe?' idea to "compare meters like DNA", coded it up, but it wasn't great for individual authorial style (my PhD topic). But! Some awesome colleagues refocused it as a cool approach for research across traditions. 😊

I missed this information. Wonderful news.

Check out our new paper led by @srishtiy.bsky.social and @nolauren.bsky.social! This work brings together computer vision, cultural theory, semiotics, and visual studies to provide new tools and perspectives for the study of ~culture~ in VLMs.

Hey #digiclass :) Is there any fonts for Ancient Greek (free or not) that would get close to the one used in pre-modern printing of Ancient Greek (humanistic cursive) ? Feel free to RT :)

While I am at here, has there been any public response to the question of preprints (before review publications) which is a common thing in most NLP/CV conferences and is helping for CVs ? @comphumresearch.bsky.social

@comphumresearch.bsky.social Hey :) The link under the text "2025 conference website" is not updated on computational-humanities-research.org/conference/ (but it is on the "2025" in the table)

The #GeoTagging plugin for #RecogitoStudio is receiving a major overhaul: • Various bugfixes. • Improved Wikidata search. • Most importantly: search across multiple gazetteers. Big thanks to @atrium-eu.bsky.social for supporting this work! 🎉 github.com/recogito/geo...

Congratulations to @arijriabi.bsky.social who successfully defended her PhD “Small is Beautiful: Addressing Resource Scarcity, Language Variation, & Transfer Challenges for Automatic Detection of Harmful Language” last Tuesday, supervised by @zehavoc.bsky.social & @openlaurent.bsky.social 👩‍🎓🎉

#digiclass If you have #Epidoc inscriptions / papyri, I would love to have a test run with this...

If you are a Python developer and are interested in Distributed Text Services, I have just adapted some of my code to deal with milestone/lb/pb in Dapytains when used in conjunction with CiteStructure. I'd like to have testers and test corpora for this: github.com/distributed-...

Good question. The next @aclmeeting.bsky.social conference, @naaclmeeting.bsky.social , is going to be held in the US soon..

Médiévistes et autres collègues historien-ne-s, à la cathédrale d'Amiens, nous sommes tombés sur une inscription murale d'indulgences. Sous le nom des pardonnés, des "surnoms" ou petites phrases sont visibles. Quel est leur sens / objectif ? On en a trouvé des assez drôles du point de vue moderne

Has anyone managed to make Antidote v10 (perpetual license, not the hellish per year subscription) work with Ubuntu 24.04 and Thundebird ?

Dear friends, do I know anyone here who has experience in (digital) numismatics, in particular coin finds from Roman Antiquity? (Please repost if you might know someone!) Thx for any pointers.

A great resource :) “Epistolæ: Medieval Women's Letters… a collection of medieval Latin letters to and from women. The letters collected here date from the 4th to the 13th centuries, and they are presented in their original Latin as well as in English translation...” (epistolae.ctl.columbia.edu)

Now on the news blog of @isawlibrary.bsky.social isaw.nyu.edu/library/blog... 'first annotations for what will eventually become the ... “Representing Women Authorship in the #Latin Treebanks” (RWALT)'

I said this a few days ago in the context of GenAI, but having now (finally!) started my #dh2025 conference reviews, we need to move to full papers. It is harder and harder to rate evaluation, significance, methodology, etc. when the author has max 1500 words. (1/2)

William Caxton really out here spelling Christine (as in de Pisan) as "Xprystyne". I love early English printing so much.

WOW!!! Absolutely the post on my timeline that made me very excited. Can't wait to find time to explore this!!!!!!!!!!

@dh2025lisbon.bsky.social While it's not specifically an issue of Lisbon, I would really appreciate if we could only get PDF for review, and not DOC/DOCX, as the rendering might suffer from on software to the other ;)

@comphumresearch.bsky.social I think you have an issue on your website archives: 2022 and 2023 papers are the same pages - 2023.computational-humanities-research.org/papers/ - 2022.computational-humanities-research.org/papers/ I think the page of 2023 should not exist, as its equivalent is programme

If you have any experience with Ansible for deployment, I am looking for an answer on stackoverflow: stackoverflow.com/questions/79... Basically, I have 3 machines, 2 have the same GID for a group, the last one not. 1/

We'd love to expand a little more to Old/Middle English manuscripts in the context of CATMuS, but we do not have much contact in this area. Would anyone be interested ?

Today I am talking at @kingsdh.bsky.social about CATMuS at 10.30 in the context of the computational humanities research seminar. Link: www.kcl.ac.uk/events/build...

Still cleaning up CATMuS 1.6.0, but I can say with a relative certainty that we are gonna release a corpus with more than 300 different documents.

We had an issue with booking tickets for the British Library exhibition.. and planned our week-end around it. It's our fault, but do anyone know if you can buy ticket on site for the exhibitions ?
