Thank you @brettbobley.bsky.social for sharing the @schmidtsciences.bsky.social HAVI award! So many exciting projects!

Incredible keynote by @miguelev.bsky.social at @comphumresearch.bsky.social #CHR2025 on what he calls “exploratory finetuning”! Drawing on EDA, art, STS and DH to develop innovative ways to OCR right to left languages (ex Malaysian) and theorizing the method. Such exciting cutting edge work!

Interested in analyzing TV at scale? Changes in sitcoms over the 20th century? Check out the latest development in the full #chr2025 paper at anthology.ach.org/volumes/vol0...

Day 1 of @comphumresearch.bsky.social CHR2025! Make sure to check out the Proceedings available though the new @ach.bsky.social Anthology of Computers and the Humanities: anthology.ach.org/volumes/vol0...

If that's not enough to convince you, @nolauren.bsky.social/@taylor-arnold.bsky.social investigate pacing in 4,500 US sitcom episodes and Kaspar Beelen/Natasha Kitcher show us how we can link museum data with AI. edu.nl/mgdud edu.nl/349v9

In the same session, @lorenverreyen.bsky.social presents a dataset of 412 days of automatically transcribed podcasts. Hugely important work that allows us to study podcasts w. techniques from comp lit studies and takes the next step in the multimodal turn in computational humanities. edu.nl/7w4fg

Excited for session 2B this afternoon at #CHR2025! @melvinwevers.bsky.social presents our work (w. @folgertk.bsky.social) using Faith's Phylogenetic Diversity to quantify archival silence and bias. We're measuring the diversity of the Dutch National Archive's photographic collection. edu.nl/7cbef

📢 Deadline Extended! #DH2026 @dh2026daejeon.bsky.social proposal submissions now open until December 15, 2025 (KST). Please share! 🔂 📍 Daejeon, South Korea | July 27–31, 2026 🎯 Theme: "Engagement" Submit your long/short papers, posters, workshops & mini-conferences! 🔗 dh2026.adho.org/cfp

Do you write research software for the humanities? Consider writing a software paper to share your work! Reach out to me, @nolauren.bsky.social , or any of the other editors at the CHR journal with your questions or ideas.

“The Software Paper fills a gap for the computational and digital humanities communities...” Thank you to research software engineer extraordinaire @suttonkoeser.bsky.social for leading this initiative for Computational Humanities Research journal. Please share!

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

This is great, I’d just add: 1. Another challenge is lack of serious engagement from AI researchers with humanities scholars. 2. This new work makes it sound like it just takes some finetuning to get big improvements. bsky.app/profile/tuhi...

In ‘Whose News?' we analyse @britishlibrary.bsky.social's 19th c. newspaper collections using 3 OPEN ACCESS DATASETS which we also publish to encourage reproducible research with historical British newspaper collections as data... 2/7

Thank you Zef Segal for this review! “a meticulously curated critical tool kit. The sheer variation of its contributions—natural language processing, GIS, generative AI, network analysis—is impressive, but the book’s true value lies in its persistent, unifying demand for critical self-reflection.”

A delight to be a part of this special issue with @justinwigard.bsky.social !

🔮 Digital pranks have earned a reputation for platform-based popularity. But how prominent are such pranks amongst other “viral” genres? And what might they reveal about viral video as cultural form? Read through Tess McNulty's article to find out! culturalanalytics.org/article/1436...

📙 Ryan Heuser's "Generative Aesthetics: On formal stuckness in AI verse" examines "the formal and aesthetic patterns of AI-generated poems through a series of computational experiments." @heuser.bsky.social culturalanalytics.org/article/1448...

🎉 We're excited to share the second half of our Special Issue "Computation and Form, Reconsidered"! 🟧

📺 In this article, Lauren Tilton and Justin Wigard revisit published work and explore forthcoming research to demonstrate computational formalist studies of history, culture, and context in visual media. @nolauren.bsky.social @justinwigard.bsky.social culturalanalytics.org/article/1448...

A delight to host @kmcdono.bsky.social for her workshop and talk on AI, maps, and the humanities!

Looking forward to the year ahead supporting the global DH community with @kmapesy.bsky.social. Thank you Michael Sinatra and @djakacki.bsky.social for all your work over the past years!

Looking back on a great week at ESU Digital Humanities Summer School in Besançon. It was a delight to engage on the topic of AI and Images with this awesome group!

“As has been the case with other technologies, historians will find distinctive ways to work with generative AI. The need for history and history education will not disappear.” bit.ly/3UNLkWu

This piece from @mcsweeneys.net made my day! “Writers have been using me long before the advent of AI. I am the punctuation equivalent of a cardigan—beloved by MFA grads, used by editors when it’s actually cold, and worn year-round by screenwriters. I am not new here…”

Here's a write-up of my keynote from #DH2025, since academic publishing is slow and this was written for right now. roopikarisam.com/talks-cat/dh...

Many thanks to you, @miaout.bsky.social, for all of the wonderful posts and commentary on the #DH2025 sessions! Really enriched my overall experience.

@dh2026daejeon.bsky.social, you did amazing work sharing *SO* many great #DH2025 posts! Great exposure to so many sessions. Thank you so very much!

📢 Public service announcement: if you were part of the #dh2025 / @dh2025 crowd, now is the time to become part of the #dh2026 crowd as well by following @dh2026daejeon !

My slides on The Paradoxes of Open Data in Libraries, Archives and Museums doi.org/10.5281/zeno... from our #DH2025 panel on Openness in GLAM: Analysing, Reflecting, and Discussing Global Case Studies Thanks again to all the speakers for your fantastic contributions! And the audience for questions

@roopikarisam.bsky.social is giving a great keynote on multiple fronts, but I really appreciate her calling out the tendency towards going for the latest shiny new toy for analysis just bc it’s new versus solid, traditional methods that work and may be more practical and sustainable #DH2025

RR: Repair must be our ethic, care our method. #dh2025.

Thank you, @roopikarisam.bsky.social, for your closing words for #DH2025: 'the future of DH requires access grounded in accountability; repair sustained by care; scholarship driven by solidarity' And also, 'hope and strategy are very important things to hold onto right now'

#DH2025 closes with heartfelt thanks to Diane Jakacki for all her work underpinning ADHO as Executive Board Chair for the past four years

Such an inspiring @dh2025lisbon.bsky.social #dh2025 closing keynote by @roopikarisam.bsky.social about care and repair!
