Join us online on 2 Dec for ‘Old, New, Precarious Data’, the 1st event of the 2025-6 @dh-researchhub.bsky.social seminar series on incompleteness & loss in digital cultural heritage collections. Speakers include @beatricecannelli.bsky.social, @heatherfro.bsky.social, Leontien Talboom & Amelia Acker
Found it! 🦉🫶 Thank you for the dopamine boost and all the lovely art you create.
I'm happy to announce the going live of the Swiss Natural History Collections portal swissnatcoll.ch, a project, I had the pleasure to contribute to over the past few years. It's hosted by @gbif.org and provides open access to biological & paleontological specimen data.

I wrote some words for this.weekinsecurity.com about the security and privacy risks with AI browsers, like Perplexity's Comet and OpenAI's ChatGPT Atlas, and why they should really come with enormous warning labels: "⚠️ Use at your own risk! ⚠️"
Another day another study showing that "AI assistants" do not work reliably for cognitive tasks.
"Largest study of its kind shows AI assistants misrepresent news content 45% of the time – regardless of language or territory"

Something I was able to experience time and time again. Leading with kindness and integrity should be normal, and not something special. "With great power comes great responsibility" is very true in supervising theses.

Graphic titled ‘Switzerland and the Barcelona Declaration’. The text notes that three Swiss institutions are already signatories: CERN, University of Zürich, and Swiss Reproducibility Network, highlighting Switzerland’s commitment to open and transparent research information. Below, there is a yellow map of Switzerland with a white cross in the center. At the bottom, there is a call to join in five languages—French, Italian, Romansh, German, and English—alongside the Barcelona Declaration on Open Research Information logo
🇨🇭 Switzerland strengthens its commitment to the Barcelona Declaration!
The University of Zürich has joined @cern.bsky.social and the @swissrn.bsky.social as signatories, showing Switzerland’s growing commitment to open and transparent research information.⬇️

Looking forward to contributing to the #LIBER AI Taskforce together with colleagues.
Hervorragendes Interview mit @tante.cc Nur eine von vielen zitierwürdigen Aussagen: "KI wird als Ausrede benutzt, um jahrelang aufgeschobene Transformationsprozesse endlich anzustoßen. Aber was dann wirklich nötig ist, sind gute Softwarelösungen, klarere Abläufe, bessere Kommunikation." #KI #AI
Libraries are very much needed in large scale projects #liber2025
Via LinkedIn by @martinepronk.bsky.social - LIBER launched the Taskforce AI today at #LIBER2025 . Grateful to be a part of it and looking forward to working with my colleagues from other working groups on this important topic!

Today’s keynote is from Thanos Giannakopoulos taking about the roles of libraries in supporting Actions 29-33 relating to Science, Technology, Innovation & Digital Cooperation from the UN Pact for the Future www.un.org/en/summit-of... with examples inspired by the UN Hammarskjöld Library #LIBER2025
Proud of my students (Silvan Wiedmer & Sangeeths Chandrakumar in picture, Florian Klessascheck at a summer school), presenting their work, supervised by me, on small open LLMs and their use for RDF Triple extraction. Poster pdf soon to follow at the Zenodo space of the conference. #LIBER2025
A glimpse into workshop 1.5 at #LIBER2025 liberconference.eu/workshop-1-5/ My Group was discussing the properties an ideal research assessment tool would have.
Want to know more about how small and open LLMs can help libraries extract RDF Triples and outperform GPT-4o, come by poster 4. at #LIBER2025 Thanks to my students Sangeeths Chandrakumar and Silvan Wiedmer for pitching out work.
