Last week, our PLANS project presented at the Digital Humanities Conference in Lisbon 🇵🇹 - @haimostiemer.bsky.social‬ and @hanshatzel.bsky.social‬ shared our approach to thematic text analysis based on semantic verb classes in German literary texts. 🧵👇 (1/4)

📢 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 !

Thank you so much for this, @hkpmw.bsky.social!
Sorry you're missing the fun!!! I manually annotated 10/50 — they were hilarious reads! 🤠💃🔥🕵️‍♀️👨‍🚒👔👩‍⚖️

@dh2025lisbon.bsky.social #dh2025 @mpuren.bsky.social @floriancafiero.bsky.social are discussing text analysis of Colette to look into author attribution. Using (the best named model) CamemBERT among other LLMs to identify jokes.

Now we are searching for very small & special phenomena in very large amounts of data using texts by Colette with Florian Cafiero & Marie Puren at #DH2025. This very much reminds me of our search for unusual gender depictions in the m*w & @diversitykorpus.bsky.social projects (👀 @mflueh.bsky.social)

Locations for next ADHO conferences:
2026 : Daejeon, South Korea

Luca presenting his PhD thesis as one of the three exhibits to Operationalizing Dramatic Texts

In his "Modest Proposal for Operationalizing Dramatic Texts", @lucagiovannini.bsky.social presents 3 exhibits, including his recently completed PhD thesis on the "Formal Development of Early Modern European Drama". Congratulations! 🎓 #PhDone #CLS #Drama #Operationalization

Luca presenting at the DH2025

What are the key components of a #play? 🎭
#DH2025: @lucagiovannini.bsky.social takes us on a tour through centuries of thinking from #Aristotle’s #Poetics, through Russian formalism, to modern literary theory and unpacks the question offering a fresh perspective.

Luca Giovannini presenting at DH2025

#DH2025: Last session before the keynote, @lucagiovannini.bsky.social presents his approach to operationalizing dramatic texts. Tracing key components of plays from #Aristotle to Russian #Formalism to modern literary theory, he investigates how to #operationalize plays using #vectorization. 🎭 #drama

Luca presenting at DH2025

Luca's main takeaway

Today’s #highlight for me on the last day of #DH2025? @lucagiovannini.bsky.social presenting his "Modest Proposal for Operationalizing Dramatic Texts". He proposes drama vectorization not to simplify plays, but rather to continue formalist morphological thinking using computational tools. 🎭📊

Slide with photos used as source to archive intangible cultural heritage

#DH2025: From my home region in Lower Saxony 🇩🇪, Lina Franken & Sabina Mollenhauer present a research-driven curation approach to archive the everyday culture of rural community halls. Wedding menus, party photos, and memories become material traces of intangible #CulturalHeritage. #DigitalArchives

Steffen Pielström presents FAIRness analysis of SPP-CLS projects at DH2025

#DH2025: Steffen Pielström, Kerstin Jung & Patrick Helling put the SPP #CLS projects to the test, examining their level of #FAIRness as a case study to assess how equal automated FAIRness tests are.

Axel Pichler presenting at DH2025

#DH2025: With their research question, Pichler & @janispagel.bsky.social hit the nail on the head 🔨:
Can #LLMs apply redefined literary concepts in the prompt-and-predict paradigm (Liu et al. 2023)?
#CLS #concepts #plasticity

Haven‘t times passed in which we annotated manually? I sometimes get asked by colleagues (& students). Well, I guess they haven‘t, because a lot of CATMA can be spotted in the Slides of #DH2025 (here an example of Guhr, Mao and Sherman)

One could call it "semi-automated" but it surely is much cooler to say "cyborg-approach" like in the discussion to scene segmentation and and textual space right now. I think, I'll keep that 🤩 #DH2025

For archiving purposes, the slides for our #dh2025 talk presented yesterday are now up on Zenodo: zenodo.org/records/1603...

And they are exactly as trashy as we love them to be! 🥳 📚👩‍💻

We're excited as well! 🥳 #DH2025

Anastasia and Dhara presenting at #DH2025

#DH2025: Another #alignment project in #CLS. @anastasiaglawion.bsky.social and Dhara Lechner of @dhssfau.bsky.social present their work on "Tracing #Transformation: editorial shifts in the Grimm brothers’ tales".

Super excited to share our research with you! Here's the link to our slides and code on GitHub. See you at 2pm in room Aud B3! github.com/literarylab/...

Slide from the presentation.

Macro-visualisation of the alignment between Melville's "Moby Dick" and the first German translation from 1927. Omissions in translations are one of the things that can be made visible through the work of the COMUTE project. We're experimenting with all kinds of language pairs.

Gender of animal characters in children’s books Read enough children’s books with anthropomorphic animals and you might notice that some animals tend towards a gender like a male frog or a female cat. For the Pudding, Melanie Walsh, with R…
