🚀 Just launched the #DigitalHumanities Early Career Fellowship at @unipotsdam.bsky.social ✅
In the first class, we turned historical sources into data with OCR, discussed “what counts as data” in the humanities, did some metadata modeling, and met a wonderful new cohort of young researchers!

If you were wondering why Krakow attracts so many #DigitalHumanities action (from @teiconsortium.bsky.social to @jcls-io.bsky.social), it’s not only thanks to the great work by the DH centre of @jagiellonskiuni.bsky.social. We DHers just like our pilgrimages to the tomb of the founder of stylometry💁♂️

In fact, one could generate as many plays as there are atoms in the universe FOR EACH atom in the universe". @viktor.im, @umblaetterer.bsky.social on generating TEI dramas with 🎲 (based on a 1829 book) #TEI2025

Mareike @mkschumacher.bsky.social, Marie Flüh & Felix Lempp explore how plants, animals & habitats appear in 680 German #DraCor plays (1510–1947). 🌱🐎🌳 Findings: ecologies appear rarely, peak twice (1800–1850 & 1900), and are richer in speech than in stage directions

The Comp. Drama Analysis workshop is kicked off by @benkrautter.bsky.social revisiting the problem of Heinrich von Kleist’s place in literary history. By applying machine learning to 634 #DraCor plays, he shows how Kleist’s works appear “too modern” for their time, resisting easy classification

Do LLMs turn coders into „code-readers“ / „evaluators“? How do we teach Python when every beginner student can generate code that’s better and more complex than anything they can master in years of learning? Is the old teaching pipeline DONE? Shall we teach code interpretation? Discussing at #DH2025
