Thrilled to announce CS2Nordics: the First Nordic Conference on Computational Social Science. Copenhagen, September 21-22, 2026.
We invite all CSS researchers in the Nordics as well as in the international research community to submit 2-page abstracts by June 19: nosocss.org/conference.h....
Wonderful news! Looking forward to working with you!
Are you an early career research who would like to spend a semester at the Center for Digital Narrative at the University of Bergen? We have a call out now for a stipend to cover mobility expenses for 3-4 months in the first half of 2027. Apply before 15 May! skjemaker.app.uib.no/view.php?id=...
I finally got around to open-sourcing the full build for my PhD thesis: github.com/bnagy/nagy-t... which may be of minor interest to some people.
All but one of the papers are published elsewhere, but it has some interesting LaTeX tricks, and I enjoyed writing the conclusion a great deal.
There's a nice #Artemis II mission tracker here: artemis.cdnspace.ca
LOTS of data about its current position, crew activities, and whether or not the toilet is currently "Go"
Yeah, really cool. I just watched it with my kids over breakfast. I hope all is good in Aarhus!
Back from an amazing workshop at Berkeley. Thank you all for a great week of multimodal awesomeness! Now getting back to routine amidst jetlag

I've started a "History of NLP" repo to store all of these resources. I don't have time to add everything yet, but I'll keep chipping away, and help is welcome.

After almost two years in operation, the Centre finally had the official opening it deserves! @mmvty.bsky.social, it was wonderful to have you here!
The Straits Times did a nice piece on our centre (@cssh-nus.bsky.social), which will be officially launched this coming Wednesday, with @mmvty.bsky.social as our keynote speaker. Looking forward!

Benchmarks of LLM common sense overwhelmingly rely on correct labels to report an accuracy score. But what if your "ground truth" genuinely differs from mine?
In a new @pnasnexus.org paper, @duncanjwatts.bsky.social, @whiting.me and I explore the implications of this intriguing question.

As DH grows, it’s increasingly important to publish conference papers, but there hasn’t been a clear venue for that.
So I’m thrilled to share this new home for DH proceedings, which will include CHR papers & more.
Thanks to @taylor-arnold.bsky.social for leading this effort!

From Ancient Greek to 20 century Yiddish, and from Spain to Georgia: the #DraCor Corpora Conference at #DraCorSummit 2025 is starting right now! 18 @dracor.org corpora presentations to go! The first one is by @juliajbeine.bsky.social about the #NeoLatDraCor
New preprint on "Computational Hermeneutics," co-authored by too many people to list in one post. TL;DR: GenAI is a cultural technology, and needs to be evaluated in ways that recognize situatedness, plurality, and ambiguity as the conditions of meaning — not noise to be minimized.
What are your favorite recent papers on using LMs for annotation (especially in a loop with human annotators), synthetic data for task-specific prediction, active learning, and similar?
Looking for practical methods for settings where human annotations are costly.
