*Abstract : The current moment in the digital humanities marks an
inflection point as third wave machine learning transforms the legibility
of archives. The Bitter Aloe Project is an experimental intervention into
new methods of reading archives via the automation of structured data
extraction. This presentation will introduce the work our team has
completed so far and present one or two case studies for consideration and
discussion.*
*The Wits Interdisciplinary Seminar in the Humanities is a widely
interdisciplinary and lively research forum.  Its objective is to
strengthen and enrich the interaction between local research and global
scholarship, and to make this a more productive dialogue.  The seminar is
typically an animated, demanding and constructive forum.  Participants are
particularly encouraged to frame their work and questions theoretically and
to think sympathetically beyond their own disciplinary and regional
specialisations.*

Please forward this message to anyone who might be interested, and remind
