Harvard Is Releasing a Massive Free AI Training Dataset Funded by OpenAI and Microsoft The project’s leader says that allowing everyone to access the collection of public-domain books will help “level the playing field” in the AI industry.

A couple of interesting bits in this article about a large public domain book dataset, but perhaps the most important thing that is maybe not obvious to a lot of folks: the embargoes on the scans made for the Google Books Project are *finally* starting to end!: www.wired.com/story/harvar... 📜📚

Report and all presentations from the ONB Labs Symposium 2024 at the Austrian National Library - “Newspapers as Datasets“ are now online!

Interesting thread about Altmetric Score

Altmetric now monitors Bluesky for mentions of research.

Book a demo of Altmetric Explorer here; they're as fun as our Bluesky account:

Haha, happy to see you here, Adam!

Interesting to see that this report is out now!

Very happy to see this out. It was a pleasure to work with the students at the ILP Lab under the supervision of @jpquintais.bsky.social. This is a much understudied aspect of mass digitization of public domain works in the age of AI, and I look forward to follow-up conversations based on this.

Time is running fast🏃‍♂️… and the deadline was extended! ⏰
Don't miss the opportunity to submit your proposal to @adho Digital Humanities 2025, in NOVA FCSH (Lisbon, Portugal). The CFP is open until December 8th.
