2025 Call for Chapter Submissions: Critical Approaches to Automated Text Recognition Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit to a collection of essays tentatively entitled Critical Approaches to Automated Text Recognition, to be edited by Melissa Terras, Paul Goodi…

Call for book chapter proposals: Critical Approaches to Automated Text Recognition. Edited by me, Paul Gooding, @semames.bsky.social & @jnockels.bsky.social. Proposals on any critical topic relating to automated and advanced text recognition (including OCR, HTR, etc) are welcome by 31st March 25.

Text Analysis tools used to be one of my favorite DH things. Now with experiences of programs failing right when I need them and HTRC and Constellate sunsetting, I'm starting to thinking that hard coding is the more sustainable option. However, that doesn't even account for the copyright issues😞

It's fun to be back behind the keyboard liveposting a conference! Follow along today and tomorrow over at @stanfordsilicon.bsky.social if you're interested in #MultilingualDH issues of character encoding and type design.

Somehow only just became aware of LlooM, a toolkit that uses a combination of clustering and prompts to extract concepts and describe custom datasets — similar to a topic model. Looks nice, with lots of documentation and open colab notebooks!

Has anyone used it?
