The entire pipeline of #TEI annotation with #GPT:
- initial markup with a custom GPT-based model
- a loop of validation against the TEI-schema
- a TEI verification LLM
- a human editor in the loop
- a fully encoded TEI/XML
demonstrated by @LurchPollin at @DHdKonferenz#DHd2024
🚨New AI for Humanists tutorials just dropped!🚨
We have code notebooks for using LLMs to:
- measure document similarity
- classify texts with zero-shot prompting
We explore narrativity in texts, historical & ChatGPT poetry, and book reviews.
Tutorial effort led by @gyauney!

Curious what early modern printers earned? In 1693, printers at the #PlantinPress earned up to 6 florins weekly. Compositors’ wage fluctuated between 5 and 8 fl. a week. Collators earned only 3 fl. 12 st. weekly. At the time, 1 florin was enough to buy about 30 dried herrings.
