This is good—and I see a lot of the recent super modular/component-based LatinCy dev throughout, with ideas of how to make it all work all together even better...

Just published a new blog post ✨ Our recent work got me thinking about Atomic Design by @bradfrost.com, a methodology for building web interfaces & how neatly it maps to how we've been approaching applied NLP: atoms (components) → molecules (pipelines) → organisms (applications) → pages (products)

✨Version bump✨ latincy-preprocess v0.4.0 Added Ancient Greek preprocessing features (based on @jtauber.com excellent greek-normalisation work!) github.com/latincy/lati...

tl;dr—Is ἑτέρως a Homeric hapax? Is Ἀστύνοος a hapax? “Hapactic edge cases abound.”

Back from the “Epic through Numbers” panel at CCC in Maynooth last week (and I’ve seen a movie!)—think I might start up a series of posts on… Quantified Homer…

Late to posting this job: "Research Software Engineer in Data Science and Cultural Heritage". apply.interfolio.com/188823 And while it's not @isawnyu.bsky.social specific, we do have a great DH/Digital Archaeology community here and I look forward to welcoming whomever takes this position to NYU.

Teaching a course this fall at @isawnyu.bsky.social on text analysis for historical languages—course description here: diyclassics.github.io/isaw-f2026-g.... If you are at NYU (or a consortium program) and are interested, let me know. #TeachAncient #DigiClass

Made some LatinCy-based suggestions here—what else are people working with?

Alexander Winkler@awinkler.openbiblio.social.ap.brid.gy · 5mo ago

Question for the #digitalclassics or #digital #neolatin crowd (and @diyclassics in particular, I guess): What would be the best semantic embedding models for (Neo-)Latin currently available?

Announcing—LatinCy Lexicon v0.1, a refactored version of Whitaker's Words that uses LatinCy annotations to disambiguate words/meanings. Can be added as a custom component to any LatinCy pipeline. github.com/latincy/lati... #digiclass #nlproc

From Whitaker's release notes... "Permission is hereby freely given for any and all use of program and data." Amazingly open license, allowing us to build cool stuff for Latin. And thanks also to Martin Keegan for hosting the maintenance of Words since 2015, cf. mk270.github.io/whitakers-wo...

Also—hoping to implement genuine word sense disambiguation soon by combining this functionality with the LatinCy token vectors... getting there...

This has been a desideratum since the day we first published this model -- I'm so happy Patrick figured this out!
