Abstract
Historic machines from 'prams' to 'Parliament': new avenues for collaborative linguistic research
Research in computational linguistics has made successful attempts at modelling word meaning at scale, but much remains to be done to put these computational models to the test of historical scholarship (see e.g. Beelen et al. 2021). More importantly, a lot of computational research looks at texts in a historical...Ridge, Mia ; Tolfo, Giorgia ; Westerling, Kalle ; Pedrazzini, Nilo ; McGillivray, Barbara

DeezyMatch: A Flexible Deep Learning Approach to Fuzzy String Matching
We present DeezyMatch, a free, open-source software library written in Python for fuzzy string matching and candidate ranking. Its pair classifier supports various deep neural network architectures for training new classifiers and for fine-tuning a pretrained model, which paves the way for transfer learning in fuzzy string matching. This approach...Hosseini, Kasra ; Nanni, Federico ; Coll Ardanuy, Mariona
