How about using models like these in the #classroom?

This is only the start. We are exploring how 3D models help us gain a better grasp (literally 😉) of the past.

How can we better understand the ancient Greek 'mind' 🏛️ ? Is it through translations? How can LLMs help 🤖 ? Felix Maier and I from the University of Zurich will present preliminary findings on that at #CHR2025 in beautiful #Luxembourg.

Felix Maier und ich freuen uns darauf, am IDA-Workshop zu den digitalen Altertumswissenschaften teilzunehmen und die Universität Zürich dort vertreten zu dürfen! Danke an die Berner Kolleg:innen für die Einladung!

Es geht um KI, Geschichte und die Frage, wie sich Vergangenheit visuell neu erleben lässt – aber auch die anderen Gäste und Folgen sind absolut hörenswert. 🎙

Ich durfte kürzlich im Podcast des Deutschen Fotorats zu Gast sein – gemeinsam mit Jürgen Scriba und Boris Eldagsen habe ich über unser Projekt Re-Experiencing History gesprochen. 🏛️✨

👉 Hier geht’s zur Folge: youtube.com/watch?v=kDHCBi4pOWk

The article highlights how we utilise AI and scholarly sources to digitally reconstruct the experiences of ancient Rome and Greece, thereby bridging technology and history in new ways.

Zejie Guo' Fortier Prize-nominated work at #DH2025: "Enhancing Text-to-Image Alignment with RAG GPT for Historical Event Reconstruction: Evaluating with Multimodal LLMs"-a very heady mix of LLMs correcting LLM-created prompts for genAI images, evaluated by LLMs w/ LLM-generated questions. 🤯

A network graph of Heinrich Bullinger's correspondens in correspsearch.

Interested in early modern letters 📜 & the Reformation period ⛪? The Bullinger correspondence ✒️ is now also linked in #correspsearch -> correspsearch.net/de/suche.htm...
This connects Bullinger with plenty of other reformers! Have fun exploring!

The #DH2025 in Lisbon 🇵🇹 finally begins (unfortunately, in a broadcast room 🥲). I'm looking forward to an exciting & inspirational conference. Zejie, Felix, & I will present a paper in Session LP10. Looking forward to discussing with you. #digitalhumanities #digitalhistory #ancienthistory
