Building Character - Building a multimodal corpus with machine learning methods

This poster presents the application of machine learning methods for the collection of a multimodal specialised corpus, consisting of the recurring satirical characters in the historical periodical "Die Bombe" (provided by the ANNO-catalogue of the Austrian National Libary: https://anno.onb.ac.at/cgi-content/anno?aid=bom). It is being presented at the 5th Annual Conference of Computational Literary Studies, held at the University of Potsdam between the 28th till the 29th of May, 2026.
