In the weeks before the holidays, the #SOLEMNE team presented our study on the 'biblicality' of early medieval canon law at #CHR2025 in Luxembourg. Belated shout-out to the excellent organisation by @comphumresearch.bsky.social. Check out our work via canones.org/published-bi...

Congrats to @dariorodighiero.bsky.social for beating me to the best short paper award at #CHR2025 ! And to Carlo and Davide, although I don't know them personally. I only got an honorable mention, which I am still very proud of 😂

CHR always feels like beginning of a holiday: a little happy mist is in the air. For me it also somehow feels like home, a strong moment of belonging.
(therefore a little sad 2027 will be in January)

At #CHR2025, I also had the chance to present our work on book encounters in the 19th-century Danish periphery. Really appreciated the thoughtful questions and comments afterwards, and I'm excited to keep developing the project by building on all the great suggestions!

Another year, another reminder that CHR really is my favorite conference. Loved the high quality of research at #CHR2025, the conversations with colleagues from all over the world, and meeting so many kind, smart people. Already looking forward to reuniting in Manchester for the next edition! ✨
This week, I got to attend #CHR2025 with my colleagues and co-authors from Aarhus and beyond!
I co-authored two papers this year: one on canonicity in painting and one on book culture in the periphery.
What a way to end the year!🙏🏼🎉🎊

What an absolute pleasure it was to attend the 6th edition of CHR! Huge thanks to everyone who helped make this edition even better than the last #CHR2025 Onward to Manchester, home of some wonderful computing history:

The #CHR2025 @comphumresearch.bsky.social conference in Luxembourg has ended. Thanks local organizers &board & @digitalscholar.bsky.social for making yet another great iteration in the series happen. The Belval factory venue was pretty interesting too. Looking forward to the next one in Manchester!
Just back from #CHR2025. A lot of interesting work, and I was especially surprised by how well the lightning talk format worked out (shout-out to @taylor-arnold.bsky.social’s timed slides for keeping the chaos in check)

A farewell card for #chr2025 people, safe travels everyone✨
Despite a bad cold, #chr2025 was awesome, as usual.
See you in Manchester 👌
#CHR2025 is a wrap! Four days of inspiring conversations, great research, and wonderful encounters in Luxembourg. Thank you all for being there and for making the 6th edition of CHR one to remember 🌟
Or, #CHR2025, to get my hashtags straight.
Presented my paper "The One and Only? Authorship Verification on Jan van Boendale and the Middle Dutch Antwerp School" on #CHR2025 and it won the ERC Best Long Paper Award! Delighted and grateful :) @comphumresearch.bsky.social
At #CHR2025 we showed how typed-edge networks reveal historical roles and court dynamics that simple co-occurrence networks miss. Proceedings already online: shorturl.at/Ifyhp #computationalhumanities #networks #digitalhistory
Deductive detective detector! #chr2025
improving authorship attribution using phonetic features — fascinating work by Simon Gabay, @floriancafiero.bsky.social, and Jean-Luc Falcone at #CHR2025
Just wrapped up my presentation at #CHR2025!
Did Dutch attitudes towards animals indeed change during the Early Modern period?
I analyzed 1.15M chunks of Dutch literature (1600-1800) using LLMs. The data tells a different story than expected. 🧵👇 #CHR2025

Excited to get this work out in the world at #chr2025 (with Sabrina Baur, Mackenzie Cramer, Anna Ho and Tom McEnaney) -- asking: how much do contemporary songs tell stories, and how has that changed over the past half century?

@jbarre.bsky.social, @oseminck.bsky.social, Antoine Bourgois, and @tpoibeau.bsky.social built a detective detector, tracing the different archetypes in French detective fiction #CHR2025
Amazing papers at #CHR2025; particularly enjoying the computational literary studies. An observation: questions about genre as a confounding factor seem to keep coming up. I do wonder if (and I'm also guilty of this) CLS can fixate on the x-axis of history and we ought to give genre more attention.
