Survey Invitation — Using Local Infrastructures for Generative AI
by tobias.hodel＠unibe.ch 03 Jun '26

03 Jun '26

Dear Colleagues Apologies for cross-posting. We're at PASC 2026<https://pasc-conference.org/editions/pasc26/> in Bern this July, and we are looking for your input on a topic we think matters a lot to the research community. We're running a short survey on how researchers, students, and scholars are using — or would like to use — local computing infrastructures (like HPCs and on-premise clusters) to run generative AI models and inference workloads. As AI tools become a bigger part of research workflows, we want to understand what's working, what's missing, and where local infrastructure could better serve the community. Who should fill this in? Anyone working or studying at a university or research institute — across all fields, from humanities to natural sciences. You don't need to be a tech expert; your experience (or lack of it) with these tools is exactly what we want to hear. It takes about 8–10 minutes: Take the survey<https://framaforms.org/serving-inference-unibe-1779955001> (https://framaforms.org/serving-inference-unibe-1779955001) Your data will only be used for this survey (and maybe a small publication), and the form will be deleted in 6 months. Your responses will help shape how local AI infrastructure is developed and made accessible to the broader research community. Thank you for your time — and feel free to pass this on to colleagues who might want to weigh in! Have questions? Come find us at PASC2026, or don't hesitate to reach out: tobias.hodel(a)unibe.ch Thanks in advance, and sending best wishes, Tobias Hodel ********************************** Prof. Dr. Tobias Hodel Universität Bern Digital Humanities Walter Benjamin Kolleg Muesmattstrasse 45 3012 Bern dh.unibe.ch<file:///Applications/Spark.app/Contents/Resources/smx-composer.bundle/dh.unibe.ch> tobias.hodel(a)unibe.ch<https://mailto:[email protected]>

Data Science Distinguished Lecture (University of Vienna): David Smith, Northeastern University
by Tara L Andrews 20 May '26

20 May '26

(Apologies for cross-posting) The research network Data Science @ Uni Vienna warmly invites you to attend the Data Science Distinguished Lecture for Summer Semester 2026: Artificial Intelligence as an Archival Science 1. June 2026, 5:00pm CET Registration: https://booking.univie.ac.at/dsdl2026/ which will be given by Prof. David Smith of Northeastern University. David Smith is an Associate Professor in the Khoury College of Computer Sciences at Northeastern University in Boston. His interdisciplinary work focuses on natural language processing and computational linguistics, particularly through applications in the humanities and social sciences. He is currently a Visiting Professor at the Faculty of Historical and Cultural Studies. Abstract: As suggested by Alison Gopnik and others (e.g., Farrell et al., 2025), large language models and similar AI artifacts are "cultural technologies". Like language and writing—and also bureaucracies, democracies, and markets—AI transforms our relationship to memory and our interactions with each other. More particularly, state-of-the-art models are trained on archives collected from the digitized human record. Model trainers are recreating, intentionally or not, processes for selection, categorization, and source criticism that resemble some archival practices. After surveying some of the consequences of this archival view of AI, this talk will present work from our research group that traces the effects of training data composition on training dynamics and of mixtures of genres on high-level LLM capabilities. I will also discuss the ways in which analyzing large-scale patterns in the human record can help us build better models. Attendance may be in person or online. A link will be circulated a few days before the event to online attendees, and refreshments will be available after the lecture for in-person attendees. Please indicate your mode of attendance during registration. With best wishes, Tara Andrews -- Univ.-Prof. Dr. Tara L Andrews Digital Humanities Institut für Geschichte, Universität Wien Universitätsring 1, A-1010 Wien

CFP Retooling Intertextuality: Digital Humanities and Textual Scholarship (Paris, 14–15 September 2026)
by Michael Sinatra 13 May '26

13 May '26

Dear Colleagues, We are delighted to invite submissions for the international conference 'Retooling Intertextuality: Digital Humanities and Textual Scholarship’ to be held at the École Normale Supérieure in Paris September 14-15 2026. Full call for participation is below and here (https://modern.huma-num.fr/cfp-retooling-intertextuality/) Happy to field any questions about the event and its subject matter as needed. Many best regards, Glenn Roe, Michael Sinatra, Dario Nicolosi Call for Participation Retooling Intertextuality: Digital Humanities and Textual Scholarship 14–15 September 2026 Salle des Actes, École normale supérieure, Paris From its earliest theoretical formulations, intertextuality has established itself as one of the most productive concepts in literary and cultural studies. From the foundational work of Julia Kristeva (1969) and Roland Barthes (1974) to the synthesising perspectives of Nathalie Piégay-Gros (1996) Tiphaine Samoyault (2010), and Graham Allen (2022), it has sustained critical debate across generations of scholarship. Conceived at times in a narrow sense — focused on the identification of explicit, traceable textual content such as quotations, adaptations, and parodies — and at others in a broader sense encompassing allusions, implicit references, and generic, cultural, or linguistic frameworks, intertextuality remains a theoretically mobile object. The range of possible relations between hypotext and hypertext, as articulated most influentially by Gérard Genette (1982), continues to animate research across diverse corpora, from ancient to contemporary, in both synchronic and diachronic perspectives. In recent years, the digital humanities have lent new momentum to these inquiries. A number of projects have sought to mobilise computational methods, corpus analysis tools, visualisation techniques, and distant reading approaches to study the various forms of intertextuality and textual rewriting. Some researchers have explored parodic rewriting and pastiche, drawing on generative models to produce new instances of these forms (Dinu et al. 2025). Others have applied large-scale citation analysis to illuminate the reception of authors and works (Rosson et al. 2023; Roe 2024; Nicolosi 2026), while several studies have sought to trace textual influences and circulations across linguistic and historical boundaries (Reboul 2022; Gawley 2024). More broadly, as Andrew Coffee and collaborators demonstrated (Coffee et al. 2012; Coffee 2018), digital humanities have contributed to renewing the analytical frameworks for intertextual phenomena, even as their theorisation remains a work in progress. The reflections of Mellerin and Büchler (2017), Forstall and Scheirer (2019), and Baron (2021) have further underscored the need to articulate tools, methods, and concepts more rigorously. Against this backdrop, it seems timely to collectively examine what digital humanities contribute to the study of intertextuality. What do digital tools actually enable in the analysis of quotations, allusions, pastiches, parodies, plagiarism, and more diffuse textual filiations? To what extent do they transform not only our research practices, but also the theoretical categories through which we understand intertextuality, rewriting, and literary influence? What new knowledge do they make possible, and what methodological, hermeneutic, or critical limits do they reveal? This colloquium aims to bring together researchers who draw on digital humanities methods or tools to study intertextuality, textual rewriting, and literary influence, or who wish to reflect on the epistemological effects of these approaches on the definition of their objects of inquiry. It seeks to foster dialogue across empirical work, methodological proposals, theoretical reflection, and critical assessment of digital practices. Topics Proposals may address, among others, one or more of the following areas: - Computational detection and analysis of quotations, adaptations, allusions, pastiches, parodies, or plagiarism; - Intertextual relations in large-scale, multilingual, or diachronic corpora; - Visualisation, mapping, and modelling of textual networks; - Critical reflection on the categories of intertextuality, rewriting, influence, hypertextuality, or literary tradition in the digital age; - Uses of large language models in the analysis, simulation, or production of rewriting phenomena. The colloquium welcomes proposals from a range of disciplines, including literary studies, comparative literature, linguistics, cultural studies, book history, media studies, information science, and digital humanities, as well as contributions at the interface with computer science or natural language processing. Submission Guidelines Proposals of 250–300 words, in French or English, accompanied by a brief bio-bibliographical note indicating institutional affiliation, should be submitted by 1 June 2026 to: mailto:[email protected] mailto:[email protected] mailto:[email protected] Notification of acceptance will be communicated to authors by 1 July 2026. Presentations, in English or French, should not exceed 20 minutes. The organisers will cover accommodation costs for all invited speakers. Publication of the proceedings is envisaged. The colloquium is organised within the framework of the ERC ModERN project and the L’Institut des textes et manuscrits modernes (ITEM – UMR 8132 CNRS/ENS), in collaboration with the Centre de recherche interuniversitaire sur les humanités numériques (CRIHN) and the Groupe de Recherche sur les Éditions critiques en contexte Numérique (Université de Montréal).
