Wednesday 3rd of May 2023: #HPCHD workshop on “Meaning of Meaning in Big Historical Data”. See the flyer and get in touch. w/ @TurkuNLP @COMHISgroup @mmathioudakis @JMKuukkanen @ViliLahteenmaki et al. #HPCHD project is part of the #EuroHPC programme funded by @SuomenAkatemia

At @COMHISgroup, instead of intellectual history, we’ve turned to contemporary data analysis with immediate, short-term effects. Conceptual and philosophical issues we used to deal with were complicated and undesirable. Here’s our latest led by Ruilin! #CommutingHighImpactStudies

We will present today on one of our latest projects on “Detection and Clustering of Printers’ Marks to Reveal Publisher Networks of 18th Century Books” at #DHNB2023 at 12:30CET. Come & see what we are up to with computer vision: dhnb.eu/conferences/dh… @COMHISgroup #tonson

🎉 We are happy to launch the Reception Reader, a web interface for studying text reuse in early modern British publications! It’s designed for scholars and students in the humanities to explore and study the reception of works over time. #receptionreader

A fabulous project that anyone interested in #ECCO or the c18th should really check out. Brought to you by the amazing team at @COMHISgroup @helsinkiuni

Our #HPCHD article, “Detecting Sequential Genre Change in Eighteenth-Century Texts”, has been published: ceur-ws.org/Vol-3290/short… @COMHISgroup

The famous double poster #AIDay2022 by #HPCHD project represented by @COMHISgroup & @TurkuNLP. Keeping the humanities and historical research flag flying high!

Our article, “Anatomy of Eighteenth Century Collections Online” in Eighteenth-Century Studies available #OA: muse.jhu.edu/article/867734. Meant for all users of #ECCO irrespective of methods. What we offer is an analysis of what is included - and what not - in the light of #ESTC.

RiCEP project in search of the present. #helsinkiDH
