The past we study is shaped by what survived - but what about everything that didn't? The CHR journal wants your work on measuring, understanding, and accounting for missing data.

This talk is a response to the idea that humanities people can only contribute to LLMs by improving model output as "AI tutors," "prompt engineers," "consultants."
