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

[Mikko Tolonen @mikko_tolonen]

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

[Mikko Tolonen @mikko_tolonen]

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: https://t.co/tYjjGYlC2S @COMHISgroup #tonson

[Reception Reader @ReceptionReader]

🎉 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

[Chris Houghton @DHandDSatGale]

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

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: https://t.co/xterAlUBtL. 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.
