This week ended with the 2-day #CCLS2024 conference which featured 9 talks on topics ranging from attribution of Seneca's disputed plays to computational stylistics of Stephen King and from crowd-based-vs-expert-based proxies of literary quality to geography of American fictional worlds.
Preprints of all papers available here: https://jcls.io/site/ccls2024/

#CCLS2024 in #Vienna is over, but #CCLS2025 in Kraków is around the corner already!

Please expect a #CfP to come out in the fall, with a due date sometime in early January 2025.

We thank all involved for their contributions to the conference, from the authors and reviewers to our wonderful local organizers @ACDHCH_OeAW, including the "hybrid setup" team that did a great job, and of course the audience both on-site and online! Thanks so much.

See you next year in Kraków for #CCLS2025!

Hybrid (offline+zoom) setup 💻🛰️💻 at the @jcls_io conference on computational literary studies seems to have worked (contrary to Murphy’s law😅)
#CCLS2024

It was a blast! #CCLS2024 is coming to an end, with @EvelynGius making some closing remarks.

As editors, we are very happy with this event, and in particular with the level of sophistication and friendly robustness of the discussions.

The idea of the conference is to help the authors improve their papers ahead of the publication of final versions in the journal, and it seem like the conference is definitely providing a lot of food for thought...

#Wien #Vienna @peertrilcke @christof

Launching into the final session of #ccls2024 with two more papers!

This session is on the "high/low" division and its issues first, then on reflective passages in literature.

Programme: https://jcls.io/site/ccls2024/

We're starting into the second day of #CCLS2024!

The papers in this first session of the morning deal with drama, adressing stylometric authorship attribution and the analysis of novelty of character speech.

Now it’s official: the next @jcls Conference of Computational Literary Studies will take place in Krakow, hosted by Jan Rybicki at the Jagiellonian University (those who remember DH2016 know they are the coolest conference hosts ever)#CCLS2025 #CCLS2024

Wie gern ich doch jetzt in Wien wäre für einen tollen Abend auf der #ccls2024 – in Anbetracht meiner Erkältung ists aber ganz gut, dass ich nur online teilnehme. Vielleicht klappt es nächstes Jahr nach Krakow endlich mal 🙃 Allen vor Ort einen schönen Abend! Und dirigiert für mich ein bisschen mit im Haus der Musik ;)

‘Fictional characters move much less than real people’. That's the main takeaway of the 'Small Worlds: Measuring the Mobility of Characters in English-Language Fiction' paper presented at the #CCLS2024
Turns out fictional characters cover far less distance than their non-fictional counterparts, and the pathways covered by fictional characters are highly formulaic and limited from a global perspective. As the presenter put it, "this looks like a map of movement between NATO nations"...

CamemBERT - was für ein grandioser Name für ein BERT-Modell für französische Embeddings. Ich liebs! #ccls2024

‘’Measuring Literary Quality: Proxies and Perspectives” is a paper that revisits the “popularity-prestige” dualism of the measures (or proxies) of literary quality. While the results still suggest “the presence of two distinct modes of evaluating quality”, one crowd-based (e.g. GoodReads) and one expert based (e.g. Opensyllabus), there are also in-between measures like library holdings…
