Image Reuse in Eighteenth-Century Book History: Large-Scale Data-Driven Study of Headpiece Ornament Variants

作者Ruilin Wang, University of Helsinki · Lidia Pivovatova, University of Helsinki · Yann Ryan, Digital Humanities and postdoctoral researcher, Leiden University · Enes Yılandiloğlu, University of Helsinki · Mikko Tolonen, University of Helsinki
Large-scale computer vision reveals that decorative headpiece ornaments in eighteenth-century books circulated far more widely — and systematically — than previously assumed. By tracking image variants across ECCO, the article challenges printer-centric accounts of book production and highlights the overlooked role of publishers and transnational networks.

Information theory unravels the subtext in Chekhov

作者J. Nathanael Philipp, Sächsische Akademie der Wissenschaften zu Leipzig · Michael Richter, Universität Leipzig · Olav Mueller-Reichau, Universität Leipzig · Matthias Irmer, Digital Science
The paper presents a study that applies information theory to uncover the subtext in Chekhov’s story Ward No. 6. By adding glosses that make the story’s implicit knowledge explicit, several enriched text versions were created, alongside one intentionally misleading version. By the measures Skewness and Kurtosis, meaningful subtextual enrichments could be distinguished from the fake, as the distributions of information density in the meaningful enriched variants differ clearly in shape from those in the fake enrichments.
