"Who Speaks to Whom?"

Important work by our Romanian colleagues Udrea et al. on improving social network analysis of tragic plays:
https://doi.org/10.3390/electronics14193847

They use LLMs for addressee detection in Polish, German, Romanian & English drama (all via #DraCor) to build directed (!) weighted graphs.

There’s a new doctor in town! Julia Beine (of #DraCor fame, among many other things) successfully defended her PhD thesis today. First and foremost, it’s a great achievement of and for herself. But it’s also a good signal for the #DigitalHumanities community at #RuhrUniBochum and beyond to have a #DH leaning PhD thesis receive highest merits in the philologies. Congratulations, Julia! 🍾
