🌍 Automating Nature Detection in Historical Travelogues?

At #Dhd2025 Michela Vignoli & Doris Gruber (ONiT Project) explore how #LLM Llama 3.1 70B can analyze nature representations in multilingual travel reports

⚠️ Challenges remain:
❌ LLMs always produces results—even with flawed data
❌ LLM-corrected texts did not improve searchability in vector databases (3–14% drop)
🔎 Conclusion: LLMs aids discovery but manual review is essential for a reliable dataset.

#CfP for the panel "Emergence of New World Imagination in the 19th and 20th Century: Understanding of the Global Colonial Countries through the Lens of #Auto-Biographical #Narratives, #Memoirs And #Travelogues" at the next #ACLAorg Annual Meeting, which will take place virtually from May 29 to June 1, 2025.

🗓️Deadline abstracts: October 14, 2024
