@kmcdono.bsky.social @danielwilson.bsky.social and I have a new OA article out: eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com?url=https%3A... It’s about the fragmented landscape of historical data, and what we can do about it to improve discoverability, sustainability and reuse.

Text Machine: Computing Literary Innovation picks up where our Living with Machines project left off, pushing at how the limitations of LLMs (their drive towards average and averaging language) can be turned into an advantage to understand innovation and surprise in language.

I'll get straight to the point. We trained 2 new models. Like BERT, but modern. ModernBERT. Not some hypey GenAI thing, but a proper workhorse model, for retrieval, classification, etc. Real practical stuff. It's much faster, more accurate, longer context, and more useful. 🧵

Save the date! The Digital Humanities at Oxford Summer School will take place at St Anne's College from 4-8 August 2025. Stay updated here: digitalscholarship.web.ox.ac.uk/digital-huma... #digitalhumanities #DHOxSS2025
