The German Science Foundation has approved two project applications by IMS: “Comprehensive Modeling of Speech Contributions in Prose Texts” and “Oceanic Exchange: Tracing Global Information Networks in Historic Newspaper Archives 1840-1918”, the latter as part of an international consortium formed to respond to the “Digging Into Data Challenge” (diggingintodata.org) in Digital Humanities.
The projects are planned to start in autumn 2017.
