Two new notebooks about the papers presented at #CHR2022. One about finding unseen sailors [1] and another one about functional diversity as an alternative to lexical diversity [2]

What Shall We Do with the Unseen Sailor?

Bias in historical records At the Computational Humanities Research conference 2022 held in Antwerp from December 12 to 14, I co-presented a new paper with Melvin Wevers on missing data in historical archives. The paper was pubslished with CEUR-WS and can be found here: https://ceur-ws.org/Vol-3290/short_paper1793.pdf. Missing data is rather the norm than the exception in historical archives. There are virtually endless reasons why records did not survive the test of time: they might have been lost due to natural causes, such as fires, decisions on the level of archival policy making, but also due to content production biases.

No images, but also looking forward to this paper by @melvinwevers, @folgertk, and Jelle van Lottum who use unseen species models to look for VOC sailors! #chr2022 #DH #Digitalhumanities

#CHR2022 starts today! Particularly looking forward to Session 2C Images and Scans (tomorrow) with exciting new work on

-the memorability of iconic images
-automatic identification and classification of portraits in historical photographs
-layout analysis of historical documents

#CHR2022 is happening TODAY! So hyped!!

Here I was, thinking I had written an interesting contribution to #CHR2022 on the relationship between functional diversity in ecology and lexical diversity in language. But apparently, #chatgpt already knew all about it! 🙃

For those still appreciating human effort, here is the paper:
