The second article of this year's conference track, #CCLS2026, is here! doi.org/10.48694/jcl...
Shizgal, E., Wagner, E., Abend, O. & Keydar, R., (2026) “Character Development in Oral Testimonies. Computational Modeling of Religiosity in Holocaust Narratives” #CLS
October 28, 2026 at 10:02 AM
The article studies how #religiosity evolves across a life story by fine-tuning #LLMs to extract religious trajectories from 1,000 #Holocaust #testimonies and clustering them into five types. The authors find that religious practice most often oscillates, while belief stays constant. #CCLS2026

Wonderful new word I just heard used by our moderator at #ccls2026: "zoomkeeper"!

The zoomkeeper is the person watching over the Zoom room, letting people in and making sure their questions are passed into the physical room.

Unfortunately, unlike zookeepers, I don't think the zoomkeeper is […]

Reflecting on the trends at #CCLS2026, @evelyngius.bsky.social points out that "LLMs were present but not the focus of the discussions".
Exciting development of #CLS!
