Last week was the first fortext lab-workshop of 2025! Twice a year, the entire fortext lab comes together for several days to look back on the past six months, reflect on our best practices for good collaboration, discuss our current research, and plan the next half-year. #CLS #DH #DigitalHumanities (1/4)

It's a beautiful day here at @ACDHCH_OeAW @oeaw 
We are located at Bäckerstraße (Baker Street), though number 13, and not 221B. Still, some pretty intense investigative work takes place here ... 
Heute ist Girls' Day an der Akademie der Wissenschaften und der Literatur Mainz. Mit 15 Schüler:innen programmieren wir auf Raspberry Pis eine kleine Wikidata-Webanwendung nach, die nach Museen, Parks und Schulen in der Nähe sucht

Classifying Genre in Historical Medical Periodicals
Next in line: Vera Danilova presents her work on genre classification in digitized periodicals from European patient organizations (1951–1990) using #LLMs as part of the #ActDisease project.
XLM-RoBERTa (UDM) led Q&A tasks with 32% more correct answers than mBERT/hmBERT. hmBERT (UDM) topped Administrative classification (+16%) CORE-based models excelled in legal genre prediction.
Jan Rybicki: You can count many things in films—like dead bodies
That alone can be a good proxy for genre.
If there’s one, it’s a love story that ends badly
If there are two, it’s a love story that ends even worse
Three to six? A crime story 
A hundred? That’s Rambo

Large-Scale Text Analysis & Cultural Change
In their talk at the workshop “Large Language Models for the HPSS” @tuberlin Pierluigi Cassotti and Nina Tahmasebi presented a multi-method approach to studying cultural and societal change through large-scale text analysis.
By combining close reading with computational techniques, including but not limited to #LLMs , they demonstrate how diverse tools can be integrated to uncover shifts in language. #DigitalHumanities

Hallo #Fediverse,
wir sind das Projekt "Buber-Korrespondenzen Digital" (#BKD) und wir sind #neuhier!
Interessiert ihr euch für Martin #Buber oder dafür, wie man etwa 43.000 #Briefe für Wissenschaft und andere Interessierte digital zugänglich macht? Hier informieren wir ab jetzt über unsere Aktivitäten, geben Einblicke in unsere Arbeit und halten euch auf dem Laufenden.
