Annual field trip day for COMHIS. This is our hiking group, more people joined for lunch and museum tour at Tarvaspää. Even weather was on our side! Good times.

A lot is happening in our HPC-HD collaborations. TurkuNLP has released this paper on LLMs and OCR post-correction (arxiv.org/abs/2502.01205), and the next one—where COMHIS is also involved—focuses on processing the entire ECCO dataset (already completed). Would you be interested in the results?
OCR Error Post-Correction with LLMs in Historical Documents: No Free Lunches
Optical Character Recognition (OCR) systems often introduce errors when transcribing historical documents, leaving room for post-correction to improve text quality. This study evaluates the use of ope...

Really happy about COMHIS. Papers soon out on “Translation Mining” & “Meaning Matching” (huge efforts). Also a step from text reuse to image reuse, that paper is published in DHQ: dhq.digitalhumanities.org/vol/19/4/000... More to follow. 2026 will be a good year for computational history in HEL.

Important piece for us with respect to COMHIS bibliodata undertakings. The paper was written already in 2021 but the publication processes in the humanities often take their time. However, truth does not get old, right?
