I love it when a plan comes together… The @snsf_ch has approved my Scientific Exchanges proposal “Models and Narratives: Computational and Historical Thinking in Dialogue,” so I now look forward to spending 6 months in #Brussels working on the theory and epistemology of #ComputationalHistory with @sdevaleriola and his team.

How to read thousands of newspaper articles?
Three researchers at Herder-Institut Marburg used #TopicModeling to analyse over 7,000 articles in Latvian diaspora newspapers. They uncovered a remarkable archive of how displaced communities maintained identity across decades and continents - and found that topic modeling is a serendipitous technology...

To be honest, I was a bit stressed about potential last-minute issues, but in the end, yesterday’s workshop on “Structure and Interpretation: Towards Computational Historiographical Modeling” went smoothly.
Thanks again to our keynote speaker Manfred Thaller and our invited speakers: @sdevaleriola, @feichtimo, @resonanzfilter, Sébastien Poublanc, and @ChristianWachter.
⇢
-
And the final input for today is by @sdevaleriola on “The Question of Proof in History.”
-
We continue after the lunch break with a statement by @resonanzfilter on “Ideologies of Knowledge Work: Cold War Computing in the GDR.”
-
The first input statement of the second round is by @ChristianWachter: “Structuring Data is an Interpretative Act.”
-
The second input statement is by Sébastien Poublanc: “Characterizing Historical Data to Produce True ‘Historian's Data’.”
-
The first input statement for the world café part of our workshop is by @feichtimo: “DARK MATTER IN DATABASES: towards ‘negative hermeneutics’?”
-
We’re kicking off our workshop on Structure and Interpretation with a keynote by Manfred Thaller: “Extracting and Communicating Historical Knowledge via ‘Graphs.’ Pipedreams of a Disbeliever in Hermeneutics.”

Tomorrow I'm giving a keynote at the text2story workshop in Delft. "Multilingual Knowledge Extraction from Fiction" Main takeaway: LLMs are more accurate than semantic parsing. But only with human annotated ground knowledge for dynamic few-shots prompts #DigitalHumanities #ComputationalHumanities

Had an interesting discussion today.
In linguistics, when hiring a postdoc (with some teaching load), you can definitely ask for a trial lesson on, say, the basics of morphology for first-year BA students. If you hold a PhD in linguistics, regardless of your specialty, you should know enough about morphology to do this.
If we wanted to do this in #ComputationalHumanities (or #DigitalHumanities), what might be an equivalent?
Tricky question, huh?

Next Tuesday (April 15, 2025), I’ll have the pleasure of hosting @chnunn for a talk:
