Fotini Koidaki, TALOS PhD candidate in RT3: Corpus Analysis, presented the paper “GeoAffect: A Multi-Layer Annotation Schema and Few-Shot LLM Evaluation for Geoaffective Analysis of Literary Texts” at ISA-22, held within LREC 2026 in Palma de Mallorca. The paper introduced a multi-layer annotation schema for analysing how places are emotionally framed in literary narrative, applied to 19th-century Ionian prose fiction and evaluated on 13 large language models.

The TALOS Lab is excited to announce the full program for the 2nd Semantic Annotation for the Ancient World (SA4AW) Conference! Join us on May 7–8, 2026, online via Zoom or onsite in Rethymno, Crete, for a hybrid event exploring the critical intersection of semantic annotation, Large Language Models, and artificial intelligence in studying antiquity. We invite researchers, students, and the public to register now for free virtual attendance.

TALOS researchers Melissa Bergoffen and Antonia Lourentzaki participated in the 53rd CAA International Conference in Vienna, presenting their work on the application of semantic data methods in archaeology. Bergoffen explored how ontoterminologies can better structure complex iconographic metadata, using the Bronze Age “Ladies in Blue” fresco as a case study. Lourentzaki detailed the development of a FAIR Linked Open Data framework and domain-specific ontoterminology to conceptualize and query the complex spatial and artefactual record of Göbekli Tepe.

TALOS Research Assistant Rafail Giannadakis presented a pedagogical framework for teaching Ancient Greek literature using Generative AI multimedia at the 3rd Panhellenic Conference on AI in Education. His approach enables students to understand the operational logic of GenAI while gaining a deep understanding of primary sources, as they must rely on the original text to identify “hallucinations” and biases in AI-generated visual and auditory outputs.

Earlier this month, TALOS members participated in the 6th International Scientific Conference of the Regional Directorate of Education of Crete on education in the digital era. Prof. Eleni Katsarou delivered a keynote on teaching and learning during the AI era, while Evangelos Katis presented on the need for AI literacy and professional development for educators.

The TALOS Lab presented innovative research at the 6th International Conference “Literacies and Contemporary Society” in Nicosia, Cyprus. Using Natural Language Processing (NLP), the study examines linguistic patterns and literacy representations within Greek L1 curricula, revealing a significant bias toward decontextualized skills over social practices. Discover how computational tools are reframing our understanding of educational frameworks and critical language awareness.
