jaschaschmitz, German By the way @histodons , its probably old news for people who are already engaging with this, but I just learned about two fascinating pioneers of humanities computing, Andrew and Kathleen Booth at Birkbeck College, London, who apparently worked on #NLP (specifically machine translation, but together with students/collabs. on other things) starting in the early 50s (perhaps earlier).
Maybe somebody doesn't know and is curious! Here is a source: https://archive.org/details/earlyyearsinmach0000unse/page/n9/mode/2up
