@jaclyn_kerr17 @AelangD @Ted_Underwood The article reminds of early DH discourse speculating on the "big tent" label. Interesting how debates surrounding terminology remain prevalent in modern DH, though they are by no means unproductive. Methodology and ethics may be the focus, but abstracts will always be relevant.

@SukiB653 Being comfortable with the lack of absolutes is a welcoming aspect of traditional humanities that has translated into the realm of DH. I’m glad you’ve included a multicultural perspective, wonder if such distant reading could be/has been applied similarly in Western online lit?

When the public nature of DH challenges traditional ways of peer reviews, how can we perform quality control? Essay by J Swafford explores cases where OCR falls short. Collaborating with experts in other fields can improve accuracy of tools for large scale text analysis #DHEdinb

Apps like Klarna are brilliant from a business perspective and can be highly beneficial to the consumer when used with awareness. Basic financial literacy should be a part of compulsory education in our culture of consumption. https://t.co/2xdDETlSWw

With the pandemic limiting access to book clubs, many readers have since migrated to online communities. The accessibility and reach of such groups are unquestionable and vast, but how much have our choice of literature been influenced by algorithms and paid promotions? #DHEdinb
