Wikidata,
Abstract Wikipedia,
Hello. I am recently thinking about objectivity and subjectivity with respect to natural
language generation, in particular in the contexts of story generation using historical
data [1][2].
In the near future, digital humanities scholars – in particular historians – could modify
collections of data and finetune generation-related parameters, watching as resultant
multimodal historical narratives emerged and varied. In these regards, we can envision
both computer-aided and automated historical narrative generation tools and technologies.
Could AI be a long-sought objective narrator for historians? Is all narration, or all
language use, inherently subjective? What might the nature of “generation-related
parameters” and “finetuning” be for style and subjectivity [3][4][5][6][7][8] when
generating natural language and multimodal historical narratives from historical data
[1][2]?
Thank you. Hopefully, these topics are interesting.
Best regards,
Adam Sobieski
