felix stalderThis is a very impressive visualization of one of the biases of AI, the origin of data sets. This, quite reasonably i think, assumes that there is a connection between the place of origin of and the information contained in a data set.

John Carter WoodI've done a lot of newspaper research, but up to now via traditional methods (i.e. going through page by page) combined with word searches in digitised collections. This excellent article from @JoshBlack gives some great insight into more powerful options for using historical newspapers.
(It also makes clear how much work is involved...)

One of the promises of digital humanities for the ‘historical sciences’ is that we’ll be able to, in Tim Hitchcock’s words, shift from ‘piles of books’ to ‘maps of meaning’. That is, we’ll be able to produce high level representations of phenomena across large collections of text.
Tom ScheinfeldtSomehow scientists are able to support their endless diversity in three or four departments (physics, chemistry, biology) while we (no-less-diverse but much less numerous) humanists seem intent on breaking ourselves up into a hundred pieces. This is no way to assert our importance in the university and culture. You’d think people who spend so much time thinking about power would get this.
Thanks @gabrielhankins great to see you here.
