Diese Woche im #DigitalHistoryOFK: Torsten Hiltmann und @DigHisNoah präsentieren "RAG den Spiegel" – ein innovatives RAG-System zur Analyse des SPIEGEL-Archivs. Der Vortrag zeigt, wie #LLMs Geschichtswissenschaft verändern und hermeneutische mit computationellen Methoden verbinden.
25. Juni, 16-18 Uhr, online (Zugang auf Anfrage)
Abstract: https://dhistory.hypotheses.org/10912 #TextMining #4memory #DigitalHistory @historikerinnen @histodons @digitalhumanities
Folks working in the #DigitalHumanities or #TextMining and related research fields, a technical question: do you use a database management system (DBMS) to store your data? Or do you use good old JSON or CSV files on local drives? If the first, what do you use (Postgres, MySQL, Mongo)? If the second, how do you sync your files to enable collaboration on the same data?
I'm starting a new project, and from past experience I think it would be best to set up a managed DB from the beginning, instead of using JSON files. That way my team has access to the same data and we can query the specific data we need for some analysis.

Our colleague Hidir Arras from patent4science research is co-organizing the 6th PatentSemTech Workshop at #SIGIR2025 in the beautiful city of Padua, Italy! Call for Papers is open 'til April 23: http://ifs.tuwien.ac.at/patentsemtech/
Submit your cutting-edge research, case studies, and demos exploring #AI, #NLP, and #TextMining innovations applied to #IP and related domains.
Automating Nature Detection in Historical Travelogues?
At #Dhd2025 Michela Vignoli & Doris Gruber (ONiT Project) explore how #LLM Llama 3.1 70B can analyze nature representations in multilingual travel reports
Challenges remain:
LLMs always produces results—even with flawed data LLM-corrected texts did not improve searchability in vector databases (3–14% drop)
Conclusion: LLMs aids discovery but manual review is essential for a reliable dataset.
[Atelier Data] Le lab INA organise un atelier @iscpif le 12 mars à 17h30 consacré à l’exploration (#statistique, #TAL…) de transcriptions de JT TF1 et FR2
Il reste encore quelques places : https://framaforms.org/atelier-donnees-ina-1739180738
Une certaine autonomie avec les outils d'analyse quantitative (Python ou R, CSV, etc.) est nécessaire afin de pouvoir profiter pleinement de l'atelier.
hi hivemind. let's say we want millions of unique IUPAC names from (organic chemistry) literature, how would you do this? Nothing else needed than the full, complete IUPAC name?
Auch 2025 setzt unser #DHELab seine Online-Vortragsreihe fort. Am 31.1.2025, 12-13 Uhr, stellen @ChristophSchindler @j_roeschlein & @alexchrist die WebApp #EduTopics vor, die mehr als 30.000 Beiträgen der #ECER ausgewertet & mit ihren bibliographischen Parametern interaktiv bereitgestellt & visualisiert, und gehen der Frage nach, wie #MachineLearning & #Textmining die Analyse großer Textkorpora und neue Zugänge zu Forschungsinformationen ermöglichen:

Just learned the #Constellate platform put together by Ithaka and #JSTOR for #TextMining is being sunsetted next year.
Apparently, #HathiTrust will also discontinue support of the HathiTrust Research Centre (its text mining platform).
I hope some of the data download features Constellate allowed (even for non-members) will continue... they're useful and important!
Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a fascinating field at the intersection of data science, linguistics, and artificial intelligence. It focuses on enabling machines to understand, interpret, and respond meaningfully to human language.

Today, I've been doing background research for a scientific article I'm revising on text mining and its use in higher education to improve learning outcomes. Tomorrow, I start the revision proper!

Excited that Keli Du is going to be presenting work we talked about a lot: "Shifting Sentiments? What happens to BERT-based Sentiment Classification when derived text formats are used for fine-tuning".
Results show that, as long as you don't remove too much information from the texts, the performance stays at pretty acceptable levels, even when DTFs are used for fine-tuning.
