We’re  happy to announce that both of our abstracts for the DH 2018 conference in Mexico City have been accepted as long papers. This will be the third consecutive year, after Cracow in 2016 and Montréal last year, that we’ll be presenting at what’s always a fascinating overview of new developments in digital humanities around the world, and a great way to meet up with colleagues and friends.

Alexander Dunst & Rita Hartel will be talking about “Automated Genre and Author Distinction in Comics”. Jochen Laubrock & David Dubray ‘s paper is titled “Computational Analysis and Visual Stylometry of Comics using Convolutional Neural Networks”. Computer vision and neural networks were already a huge topic at the DHd 2018 conference in Cologne in early March, so we expect more on these approaches in Mexico. Hope to see you there!

We’re happy to report that both of our abstracts for the German-speaking Association of Digital Humanities (DHd) Conference have been accepted. Jochen Laubrock will speak about “Computationale Beschreibung visuellen Materials” (The Computational Description of Visual Documents) and Alexander Dunst & Rita Hartel’s paper will be titled, “Auf dem Weg zur Visuellen Stilometrie: Automatische Genre- und Autorunterscheidung in graphischen Narrativen” (Towards a Visual Stylometry: Automatic Genre and Authorship Distinction in Graphic Narratives). We’re looking forward to being in Cologne from 26 February to 2 March.

The annual DH conference, organized by ADHO (the Alliance of Digital Humanities Organizations), is coming up in two weeks. We’re looking forward to a great program and meeting up with colleagues and friends in Montréal from 8-11 August. If you want to hear about some of the work we’ve been doing lately, please join us on Wednesday, 9 August, for Jochen’s poster presentation titled “Design of a Corpus and Interactive Annotation Tool for Graphic Literature”. On Thursday, 10 August, at 1.30 pm, Alex will talk about “Corpora and Complex Networks as Cultural Critique: Investigating Race and Gender Bias in Graphic Narratives” (venue: Art 260). Hope to see you there!
