As DH grows, it’s increasingly important to publish conference papers, but there hasn’t been a clear venue for that. So I’m thrilled to share this new home for DH proceedings, which will include CHR papers & more. Thanks to @taylor-arnold.bsky.social for leading this effort! bit.ly/ach-anthology

From Ancient Greek to 20 century Yiddish, and from Spain to Georgia: the #DraCor Corpora Conference at #DraCorSummit 2025 is starting right now! 18 @dracor.org corpora presentations to go! The first one is by @juliajbeine.bsky.social about the #NeoLatDraCor

New preprint on "Computational Hermeneutics," co-authored by too many people to list in one post. TL;DR: GenAI is a cultural technology, and needs to be evaluated in ways that recognize situatedness, plurality, and ambiguity as the conditions of meaning — not noise to be minimized.

What are your favorite recent papers on using LMs for annotation (especially in a loop with human annotators), synthetic data for task-specific prediction, active learning, and similar? Looking for practical methods for settings where human annotations are costly. A few examples in thread ↴

Only four days left to @adho-org.bsky.social #DH2025 and everything is getting ready as you can see here!

Thrilled to share that our Deputy Director @miguelev.bsky.social will be delivering a keynote at this conference!

We are excited to announce our Inaugural Research Symposium July 29–30, 2025! This event will bring together leading researchers and practitioners to explore cutting-edge developments at the intersection of computational methods, social science, and the humanities. www.cssh-symposium.com

I am very honoured by this invitation. Looking forward to @comphumresearch.bsky.social 2025!

Finally officially out (only took 1.5yrs), in @natureportfolio.nature.com HumSocComms, #open🔓 "Machine-assisted quantitizing designs: augmenting humanities and social sciences with artificial intelligence" A proposal to efficiently harness #LLM& #AI assistants in research (longer thread on monday)

Want to learn about computational social science *for free* and launch interdisciplinary research projects? We are so excited to announce there will be *26* Summer Institutes in Computational Social Science this year! Apply to one of them here: sicss.io/locations

Our open review portal is down, but our team is working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. In light of this, the submission deadline has been extended to Feb 26, 23:59 AoE. We appreciate your patience and apologize for any inconvenience caused.

Modern-Day Oracles or Bullshit Machines? Jevin West (@jevinwest.bsky.social) and I have spent the last eight months developing the course on large language models (LLMs) that we think every college freshman needs to take. thebullshitmachines.com

Had a great time at the first HKADH conference! Caught up with many old friends from ADHO 2024 and met new colleagues and experts from around the world! Wonderful keynote speeches by @miguelev.bsky.social and @mellymeldubs.bsky.social. Next year, HKADH will be held at my university, CUHK! 😉

Opening remarks by @vincent76.bsky.social at the Hong Kong Association for Digital Humanities 2025.

Honored to deliver a keynote at HKADH next week. And looking forward to reconnect with the incredible DH community in HK!

Earlier tonight I posted an example of a Google Gemini query where adding quotation marks around a song title flips the answer you get from "yes" to "no". (1/2)

Absolutely astonished at being awarded an MBE for services to Digital Humanities. I’ve no idea who nominated me - great to see #digitalhumanities supported in this context! It will take a moment for this to sink in! Also if the King gives you an MBE for DH, does that mean it’s a real subject? 😊💃👩‍💻📜

A delight to contribute to this open access edited volume on digital film history! Check out our essay on distant viewing amatuer film with Tim van der Heijden and Taylor Arnold: www.degruyter.com/document/doi...

If people in higher ed don't want to end up disintermediated by AI, we need an actual plan to avoid it. I know how rejectionists intend to do that. And I know that people like me hope we can do it by building/teaching open source models. But in between those two poles, idk what the plan is.

Dear academics We could dramatically reduce our administrative workload if we all just agreed not to ask for reference letters until we made our list of finalists. This is massive collective action problem has already been solved by… *checks notes* …every other industry on earth.

Truly honored to have served as Programme Chair for #CHR2024 alongside @laurejt.bsky.social and Marijn Koolen! Thank you to all participants, organizers, and reviewers for making this conference such a success!! See you all next year in Luxemburg! 🇱🇺✨

Thanks, everyone, for such a fun and elightening #CHR2024! Looking forward to meeting again in Luxembourg.

Check out their repo! They have well documented, reproducible code that runs on a consumer laptop. This type of innovations can be game changers in the cultural heritage space.

💯 I honestly did not know what to expect from my last talk at #chr2024, on some statistics regarding playlists of bands on their tours, but blown away by the actually really fascinating trends and patterns in the data: Which songs are played almost always, which ones only once, when looking at […]

Thank you to the @comphumresearch.bsky.social for the #chr2024 Best Short Paper recognition. Taylor and I are deeply appreciative, and grateful to be a part of this wonderful community!

Best paper awards! Best Long Paper 🌟 "Integrating Visual and Textual Inputs for Searching Large-Scale Map Collections with Cip" by Jamie Mahowald and @bcgl.bsky.social #chr2024

Loved "Greatest Hits Versus Deep Cuts: Exploring Variety in Setlists Across Artists and Musical Genres" (Edward Abel & Andrew Goddard) #CHR2024 You can explore the setlist data in this cool web app edabel.shinyapps.io/setlist-vari... Bruce, please bring more variety back into your setlists!

Just listened to the excellent presentation "Once More, With Feeling: Measuring Emotion of Acting Performances in Contemporary American Film" by @naitian.org and @dbamman.bsky.social at #CHR2024. I'm very excited about the research directions that this paper suggests for multimodal CHR.

(there was a shoutout to @jmhessel.bsky.social for his implementation of the Fightin' Words algorithm, a very nice way to compare vocabularies across datasets) Code: github.com/jmhessel/Fig... Paper by Burt Monroe et al.: languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/myl/Monroe.pdf #chr2024

And so it begins :-) #CHR2024 @comphumresearch.bsky.social #digitalhumanities #digitalhistory

Looking forward to the start of #CHR2024!

If you're attending #CHR2024 or if you want to follow along at home, you can pin this feed to your home page. Currently just looks for the hashtag, lmk if I should match to anything else.

Happy to be in Aarhus for #CHR2024. Currently at the intro meeting for the new Computational Humanities Research Journal. Please consider sending papers! CfPs are live, with deadlines on 1 Jan.
