🚀 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!

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...

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

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!

and what a battle it was! 👏

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:

> We need a larger crowd to build larger corpora
Unless you’re a bored French computer scientist encoding plays for fun since forever 😅

See how #DraCor neatly builds into the very circle of life!🐝

“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 🎭🤖

✨ 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:

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

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

We miss you here, James 💔

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
