Delighted to have a long paper accepted with Paola Peratello (not on BS) for the #DH2026 conference discussing small datasets & #digitalhumanities with a case study of
Medieval Swedish courtly literature and unseen species modelling.

Rewelacja! Świetne wieści! Czy jest w takim razie szansa że wykład będzie po polsku tak w ramach tej polityki wielojęzykowej humanistyki cyfrowej?

If you are interested in medieval health, medicine and healing, broadly understood, then consider joining @leedsims.bsky.social #TheLongMiddleAges later today. The seminars are free and hybrid and you can still register to attend! #medievalsky

For those of you in my network interested in the #GenAI & #academia discussions you might find this interesting (in Ice) - Management of an Icelandic university used Claude to evaluate whether or not to open a case against a lecturer concerning academic integrity 🤔:

When talking about #OCR / #HTR / #ATR and #OldNorse I’ve been often asked whether LLMs and VLMs aren’t going to take away “our jobs“. Well, as much I’d love them to, the #digitalhumanities hackathon last wk demonstrated that we’re nowhere near yet. @ecoledeschartes.bsky.social @psl-univ.bsky.social

Surely it doesn’t work for everyone, ever project and every language and every period but I also feel like too many people just choose to say that “it easier to do it by hand” without even trying. :)

I so much don’t agree with this statement! In my experience all you need to do is to fine-tune an existing model that is close enough to your materials so you gain quick accuracy improvement with a bit of data. 😇

Do you have a #digitalhumanities project that could use a hand from our smart students in a from of an internship? Reach out to the director of MA in digital technologies applied to history Emmanuelle Bermès of @ecoledeschartes.bsky.social @psl-univ.bsky.social

Haha get it! I had lamb chops for dinner right after I arrived to Reykjavík on Monday - they aren’t as good anywhere else I know… but then żabka hotdogs - hmmm an acquired taste I fear.
Safe travels back to the tropics!

Joyful day! The next issue of Arkiv för nordisk filologi went to print, and there my study of Series dynastarum by Torfæus. Cannot wait to see it in print, but happy to see this digital offprint already. 🤩

W8 what?! The registration deadline for online participation in CHR 2025 was at the same time as for on-site participation?! Buuut why @comphumresearch.bsky.social ?
Anyone in my network has a link they’d share for half of the registration fee in liquid goods? 😇 😇😇
