I’ll be in Santiago de Chile (March 23–27) and would love to connect with folks working in Digital Humanities / Computational Literary Studies.

Any recommendations or contacts I should reach out to?

"We analyze all papers published at ACL, NAACL, and EMNLP in 2024 and 2025... nearly 300 papers contain at least one HalluCitation... Notably, half of these papers were identified at EMNLP 2025 ... indicating that this issue is rapidly increasing."

The article makes it sound scary, but this is actually THE most efficient and cost effective legal way to do it. The reason I've fought for DMCA exemptions to ebook cracking for scholars is they don't have AI-scale money to build corpora this way for understanding & teaching cultural history.

From final review to publication

We're especially proud of our accelerated publication process, from final acceptance to article publication. That's when the editors and editorial assistants handle: copyediting, code review, typesetting, publication, and article advertising.

From Bob Dylan to Ice Cube: Mapping 60 years of storytelling in pop lyrics - Berkeley News UC Berkeley researchers used machine learning to analyze more than 5,000 Billboard Hot 100 hits, finding that storytelling has been on the uptick since the 1990s thanks to the rise in popularity of…

A new study by @dbamman.bsky.social created a machine learning algorithm that can identify narrative storytelling elements in song lyrics. 🎵 📖

"There’s been less work on measuring narrativity or even operationalizing it within songs," said Bamman.

Which canonical American authors are the public reading, and why?

To find out, we analyzed library borrowing patterns for every author in the Norton Anthology of American Literature (1945 to the Present).

#CHR2025

Excited to get this work out in the world at #chr2025 (with Sabrina Baur, Mackenzie Cramer, Anna Ho and Tom McEnaney) -- asking: how much do contemporary songs tell stories, and how has that changed over the past half century?

During Friday’s CLS session (15:00 - 16:30), @evelyngius.bsky.social, Stefanie Messner and @axelpichler.fedihum.org.ap.brid.gy will present a case study on the analysis of literary histories. (4/6)

@hanshatzel.bsky.social & Chris Biemann, together with @haimostiemer.bsky.social & @evelyngius.bsky.social from our lab, will present a novel, scalable approach to building semantic text profiles in literary texts based on verb classes. (2/6)

Plot illustrating how a book's probability of being classified as literary fiction varies with average word length and author gender. For female authors, longer words are correlated with an increased likelihood of literary classification. For male authors, the inverse is true.

Unsurprising: Using longer words makes female authors more “literary”

Surprising: The opposite is true for male authors

For more cool plots + findings, take a look at my #CHR2025 paper exploring the role of form vs gender in the classification of genre & literary fiction
