Mark is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Helsinki interested in topics both historical (the emergence of the public sphere in 18th century Europe; Jean-Jacques Rousseau's political thought) and methodological (the intersection between intellectual history and digital humanities). Although a traditional historian by training, Mark is also trained in quantitative approaches to historical research - in particular, statistical approaches to historical records, quantitative text analysis, and social network analysis. Before Helsinki Mark was a Fellow in the Government Department at the London School of Economics and completed his DPhil at the University of Oxford.

Antti is doctoral student in Digital Humanities and Finnish Language in University of Helsinki. While a linguist who ventures into computation, he is mostly interested in implications the computational methodologies have on theories of semantics and pragmatics. His dissertation deals with vector space models and distributional semantics.

Ville is a doctoral student in History and Digital Humanities at the University of Helsinki. He is a historian by training but has picked up coding skills on the way and now applies them to both metadata and large text corpora. His dissertation deals with 18th century history of publishing, networks in booktrade and text reuse.
