In Chapter 7 of #ComputationalHumanities, Crystal Eddins asks whether archives created for the purpose of enslaving and dehumanizing can be used to humanize and liberate. Can we reclaim records -- and the people memorialized in them -- digitally?

Had a great time at CODE@MIT this weekend, and wanted to highlight a few (of the many) cool talks!

Are you ready to LEVERAGE some SYNERGIES?

“Let’s make the axe for the frozen sea inside us step by step”

I don’t know that they’re fundamentally in conflict, but improving while making more accessible is fairly hard.

Calling NYC parents -- after years of requests we finally offer a summer high school program on campus.

I asked ChatGPT to generate papers by me that don't exist, and here's one: "Mimno, David. Latent Variable Models for Historical Texts: Integrating Stylometry and Topic Modeling. PhD Thesis, Cornell University, 2013."

Claude refused.

In Chap 6 of #ComputationalHumanities, @kmcdono.bsky.social argues in "Maps as Data" that we can go beyond close reading for maps just like we can for text. How can we search over the built and natural environment, and over scales and time?

Chap 5 of #ComputationalHumanities by Fabian Offert and Peter Bell is about image generation, cultural heritage, and what it means to fill in the gaps between images. It was done before diffusion models were big, but still has enduring insights!

ReSkies much appreciated

I'm telling you, Binghamton: tech hub

Are the non-ProQuest EEBO images comprehensive? Could they be OCRed?

I've also come to see the opening explicit statement of "here's what I think you're saying" as critical as well. Authors really benefit from knowing whether what they thought they said is what people actually read.

The basic problem is that the amount of money at stake in government decisions is vastly more than the amount of money it takes to influence those decisions

In Chap 4 of #ComputationalHumanities, Crystal Hall proposes parallax (looking at the same thing from two different angles) as a metaphor for how to interpret computational approaches. Tool variability can be a problem, but with intention it can be powerful!

I’m recruiting students this upcoming cycle at UIUC! I’m excited about Qs on societal impact of AI, especially human-AI collaboration, multi-agent interactions, incentives in data sharing, and AI policy/regulation (all from both a theoretical and applied lens). Apply through CS & select my name!
