Below is a multi-lingual pair of word clouds generated from the DH2012 Call for Papers in English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Norwegian, Hungarian and Japanese.

For more information on EXPLOIT please contact Stéfan Sinclair (stefan.sinclair at mcgill.ca) or Chris Meister (jan-c-meister at uni-hamburg.de).
