Dear All, I would like to draw your attention to the open beta launch of *AVOBMAT <https://avobmat.hu/>* (Analysis and Visualization of Bibliographic Metadata and Text), a *multilingual text and metadata mining platform* developed for DH* research *and* teaching*. Designed in close collaboration with DH scholars, AVOBMAT supports *transparent *and* reproducible workflows* across a wide range of textual and bibliographic corpora. It handles *large-scale* *datasets* that are difficult or impossible to analyse with commercial LLMs. The service runs on an extensible, scalable, and modular cloud-based infrastructure, hosted by the Gesellschaft für wissenschaftliche Datenverarbeitung Göttingen (GWDG). AVOBMAT is developed at the University of Szeged, Hungary. *Key Features:* - Multilingual preprocessing, analysis, and visualization in *24+ languages* - Bibliographic *metadata analysis* with network visualizations, gender analysis - Named entity recognition, disambiguation & linking - Topic modelling, POS tagging, N-gram viewer, corpus comparison, KWIC, lexical diversity - Export/import of configurations and results for *reproducible workflows* - Support for both *public* and *private* corpora - Integrated *Help* with interface overview, workflow, configuration settings, glossary and appendices - *Upload templates, example corpora, *and* corrected/enriched metadata* for ELTeC and DraCor are available on this GitHub repository <https://github.com/avobmat/general> *Current content:* - *1,708 novels* in 15 languages (ELTeC) - *4,113 dramas* in 12 languages (DraCor) - *Upcoming*: corrected/enriched corpora including CoNSSA (Spanish novels), ECCO TCP, EEBO TCP, and Early American Imprints TCP F*ree *to use during the pilot phase with GWDG (until 25 March, 2026). *Community & webinars:* GWDG will host the first AVOBMAT *webinar on 12 November *(15.00-16.30, CET). For registration, please visit the event page <https://events.gwdg.de/event/1267/>. Explore AVOBMAT: https://avobmat.hu Read our intro article <https://openhumanitiesdata.metajnl.com/articles/10.5334/johd.175> in the *Journal of Open Humanities Data*. See AVOBMAT-related *research projects *and* publications* here <https://avobmat.hu/news/>. We warmly welcome your *feedback*, as we aim to continue refining and enhancing AVOBMAT in *close dialogue with the DH community*. I would also be grateful for your *help in recommending curated, open-access text collections* that we could process and make publicly available for teaching (multilingual) DH. Although AVOBMAT currently supports 24 languages, we only have sample databases for 15. You can view the list of *supported languages* and available features in this chart <https://avobmat.hu/features/>. Please feel free to reply via *private message*. We’re also happy to *collaborate* on research and teaching projects related to multilingual DH. Please feel free to *share* this on social media. *Thank you *in advance for your support and suggestions. All the best, Róbert ********************************************** Péter Róbert, Ph.D. / Róbert Péter, Ph.D. habilitált egyetemi docens / associate professor Angol-Amerikai Intézet / Institute of English and American Studies Digitális Bölcsészeti Laboratórium vezetője / Head of Digital Humanities Laboratory Szegedi Tudományegyetem / University of Szeged *Bluesky*: @robertpeter.bsky.social *Fedihum.org*/@Robert_Peter Researchgate <https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Robert-Peter-3>, Academia.edu <https://u-szeged.academia.edu/RobertPeter>
