I am testing mastodon for a bit, so more probably it is useful to make an official #presentation I am a postdoc at the #digitalhumanities unit at the university of geneva, where I am working in the fuzzy area that exist in the intersection between knowledge graphs, big visual data and cultural interpretation. Maybe #digitalarthistory ? Academia aside: movie lover, aperitif enthusiast, politics chatterbox, espresso drinker and reader of written pages.

The changelog for this monster release is over 1000 lines long. Highlights:
- `pandoc lua` works as a #LuaLang interpreter;
- `pandoc server` starts #pandoc as a server;
- The new "chunkedhtml" format generates paged, book-like output;
- Support for [[wikilinks]] and ==highlighting== in #Markdown (both hidden behind extensions);
- Better support for complex #figures;
- list tables for #reStructuredText output;
- and much more.

When we talk about #accessibility and inclusiveness at research/academic events:

As session chair or moderator, please learn how to #pronounce the #names of the speakers! Apologizing for having no idea or for clearly wrong pronunciation is not a valid solution

When the room is equipped with a #microphone, please use it! No, your “loud voice” is not enough — and it will not last for very long, anyway

2019: big petition in the #machineLearning community to allow remote presentations at scientific conferences

2020-21: ML conferences are virtual-only

2022: several major in-person conferences are super-spreader events

2023: "at least one author of each accepted paper must attend to present their work in person"

I know the virtual formats were less than ideal, but I can't blame junior researchers who are torn between flying halfway across the globe for a conference and harming their career.

Look back in wonder
← by @rupertgoodwins on El Reg, and I think he makes excellent points

I've been speaking and writing lately about how tech companies try to shift the discussion on misinformation polarization, etc., away from the systems and structures that are inherently toxic and toward questions of individual behavior.

This way they can blame their own users for the any pathology and steer clear of calls for systemic change.

Today Elon Musk has come through with a perfect illustration for my future talks.

I want to publicly apologize to Twitter for breaking its long-standing API rule of _______.

The foundation of a good syntactic parser is a good morphological lexicon.

Kann Algorithmizität als Kultur des Verstehens dienen? Dieser Frage sind wir bei einer Tagung im Juni 2022 nachgegangen. Auf unserem Blog denkt Manuel Burghardt jetzt noch einmal intensiv darüber nach, ob der Begriff der "Algorithmizität" nicht doch bloß eine leere Worthülse ist:
