Thanks! Yes, developing MorphAdorner was the earliest stage of the project (which has had different names over the years). There’ve been lots of transformations and spot-checking since, so the texts themselves are the more authoritative source for spelling variations. morphadorner.northwestern.edu

After nearly two years running our homespun ESTC 📚📜, we’ll soon retire it at the request of the ESTC. Proud to have been part of the @print-and-prob.bsky.social team 💪, led by Nikolai Vogler, that helped our scholarly community in a time of need 💜

When our Print & Probability collaborator UCSD grad student Nikolai Vogler heard that ESTC was down due to the BL cyberattack, he jumped into action. Here’s the site he built to help #earlymodern scholars access the essential metadata needed for teaching and research 📚 📜 estc.printprobability.org

I'm so pumped to be teaching this course, and I'm really grateful to @pricelab.bsky.social and @folgerlibrary.bsky.social for making these scholarships available. Let's hang out in May and talk about all the amazing ways you can combine book history and DH!

Elon Musk killed our WCW "plums in the icebox" Twitter bot, so I just resurrected it in this custom feed:

If you are amused by wild poetic text reuse, you might enjoy.
Shout out to my so sweet collaborator @jrladd.com, and take that, Elon!

🚨New AI for Humanists tutorials just dropped!🚨

We have new code notebooks for using LLMs to:
- measure document similarity
- classify texts with zero-shot prompting

We explore narrative vs non-narrative texts, historical poetry, ChatGPT poetry, & book reviews.

Tutorial effort led by Greg Yauney!
