Eine super Folge, um ein Bild vom #DraCorSummit zu bekommen 🙌
Außerdem durfte ich auch meine Eindrücke in ein paar O-Tönen teilen :)
#tb to last week's #DraCorSummit — grateful to all presenters, attendees, and organisers for a week full of inspiring exchanges on computational drama analysis ✨ @dracor.org @dhpotsdam.bsky.social @freieuniversitaet.bsky.social

One of the outcomes of the #DraCorSummit is the official release of the Romanian Drama Corpus! 🇷🇴
Fantastic teamwork with the RoDraCor team from Lucian Blaga University of Sibiu, 30 plays are already online, with more on the way:

Had a wonderful time at the #DraCorSummit! Taking home lots of Inspiration and some beautiful gadgets. Thanks so much @umblaetterer.bsky.social @peertrilcke.bsky.social @juliajbeine.bsky.social @lucagiovannini.bsky.social @danja.bsky.social and the whole organisation team!

The 3rd World Championship in #battleoftheplays (formerly #dramenquartett) took place at the #DraCorSummit. 20 participants competed in intense matches – after a thrilling finale, Tabeer Khilji of @unipotsdam.bsky.social took the cup home! 🏆 🎉 #dracor
The #DraCorSummit Barcamp turned into an actual camp 🏕️

Waiting for a Newtonian 🍏 eureka 😜
Barcamp is the place to address the questions that normally fade away right after a hasty 2–3 minute Q&A at a conference, but now in a bigger timeframe — @peertrilcke.bsky.social kicks off the #DraCorSummit Barcamp

Mike Kelly (@apgrd.bsky.social) recalls José Calvo Tello's appraisal of #DraCor for pursuing a "guerrilla strategy through standards". 😊

Capitalist LLMs are eating our smart & open humanities data and mashing it into gigantic word porridge... How can we reverse it? — @peertrilcke.bsky.social speaks about the MCP-empowered LLM Usage of #DraCor (or "How to teach Claude use the DraCor API")
Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2508.13774

Ulla Kallenbach & Anna Lawaetz take on L. Holberg’s 37 comedies with computational tools 📊 They trace character constellations, stage presence & dramaturgical rhythms—moving beyond speech networks to include the spectator’s perspective 👀

How can we connect our smart humanities data to LLMs (when locking them away is not an option, because we want to follow ideas of open access and open science)? – a question raised and investigated with a DraCor-Claude-chatbot by the @dracor.org team at the #DraCorSummit
To use small (large) language models might need more thorough planing and preparation in the humanistic project, but it comes with more insight into wether and how it fits the task – now Thomas Jäger from the University of Vienna is reporting on the use of LLMs in drama analysis #DraCorSummit
"Near perfect classification results are not expected and they are also not desirable" – Benjamin Krautter in his talk on drama analysis of Kleist in the context of periodisation in literary history at the #DraCorSummit

Yesterday on my stroll through Berlin-Dahlem, where the #DraCorSummit takes place, I stumbled upon this information about how this place is humming of insects (again). This afternoon we will explore how GerDraCor is populated by animals and plants in our talk „ecologies on stage“ – looking forward!

Inspiring week here at the #DraCorSummit 2025 at Freie Universität Berlin. Great opportunity to learn about corpus building and analysis – not "just" for dramas but also, like in my case, for prose texts 💡

Central problem of all Corpora integrated in DraCor by now: We do not know enough about the whole population of published plays to say anything about how representative the selection is. The canon might be well represented but is this enough? – Question raised by Lou Bernard at the #DraCorSummit
Let's talk about corpus creation! Second day of #DraCorSummit is dedicated to corpora. An issue uttered by @juliajbeine.bsky.social in the first talk of the day: We need a larger crowd to build larger corpora.
From Ancient Greek to 20 century Yiddish, and from Spain to Georgia: the #DraCor Corpora Conference at #DraCorSummit 2025 is starting right now! 18 @dracor.org corpora presentations to go! The first one is by @juliajbeine.bsky.social about the #NeoLatDraCor
