CHR always feels like beginning of a holiday: a little happy mist is in the air. For me it also somehow feels like home, a strong moment of belonging.

(therefore a little sad 2027 will be in January)
#chr2025
Another year, another reminder that CHR really is my favorite conference. Loved the high quality of research at #CHR2025, the conversations with colleagues from all over the world, and meeting so many kind, smart people. Already looking forward to reuniting in Manchester for the next edition! ✨

Today is #dracor day!

This morning, until just now in fact, we did our final (oral) report on #clsinfra, including of course talking about #DraCor. And now, @skorinkin, one of the editors of DraCor, speaks about the corpus plattform in our seminar on #multilingualsm in #DigitalHumanities.

Do you know anyone using #janeway in conjunction with #LaTeX-based workflows (e.g. #overleaf)? If so, please share your use case. I am aware of one example but don't want to bias the responses here.

If you are using #ojs (or anything else) for LaTeX-based workflows in #doa contexts, that would […]

Something we're all in denial about, btw, is that rhetorical infrastructure is one of the central achievements of CS:

• 10-page, open-access paper
• clear abstract
• figure explains the problem on page 1 (or at most 2)
• supported by open code

• written in ... LaTeX ... (ok, no one's perfect)

Today’s #highlight for me on the last day of #dh2025? Luca Giovannini presenting his "Modest Proposal for Operationalizing Dramatic Texts". He proposes drama vectorization not to simplify plays, but rather to continue formalist morphological thinking using computational tools. 🎭📊 #cls #drama

Neat idea by Jessica Monaco and Mark Algee-Hewitt, at #dh2025, on subgenre mixture within the Gothic novel:

First, train a model to classify text segments into one of eight genres, not including the Gothic (!).

Then, ask the model to classify segments from Gothic novels into those genres in […]
