Hackathon on Text Re-use
by Greta Franzini 15 Apr '15

15 Apr '15

**With apologies for cross-posting** Digital Humanities Hackathon on Text Re-Use: ‘Don’t leave your data problems at home!’ 27-30 July, 2015 Hosted by the Göttingen Centre for Digital Humanities (GCDH), Georg-August-Universität Göttingen, Germany Organised by: Emily Franzini, Greta Franzini and Maria Moritz The Göttingen Centre for Digital Humanities will host a Hackathon targeted at students and researchers with a humanities background who wish to improve their computer skills by working with their own data-set. Rather than teaching everything there is to know about algorithms, the Hackathon will assist participants with their specific data-related problem, so that they can take away the knowledge needed to tackle the issue(s) at hand. The focus of this Hackathon is automatic text re-use detection and aims at engaging participants in intensive collaboration. Participants will be introduced to technologies representing the state of the art in the field and shown the potential of text re-use detection. Participants will also be able to equip themselves with the necessary knowledge to make sense of the output generated by algorithms detecting text re-use, and will gain an understanding of which algorithms best fit certain types of textual data. Finally, participants will be introduced to some text re-use visualisations. For more information about the Hackathon, please visit: http://etrap.gcdh.de/?p=669 -- Greta Franzini Postdoctoral Researcher Göttingen Centre for Digital Humanities Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science Georg-August-University Göttingen Papendiek 16 D-37073 Göttingen, Germany W: http://etrap.gcdh.de W: www.gretafranzini.com E: gfranzini(a)gcdh.de T: @GretaFranzini

Biblissima Summer Course "Incunabula: from Gutenberg's Invention to the Digital Revolution", July 2015, Orléans, France
by Elizabeth MacDonald 15 Apr '15

15 Apr '15

Summer Course "Incunabula: from Gutenberg's Invention to the Digital Revolution" Médiathèque d'Orléans (France) — Tuesday 7th to Saturday 12th July 2015 Full course programme and online application form: http://www.bvh.univ-tours.fr/criico-ecole-d-ete_eng.asp Application deadline: 30th April 2015 Published before 1501, the first printed editions, known as incunabula, first captured the interest of booklovers, researchers, and librarians three centuries ago. Today, knowledge of the output from these first fifty years is more widespread as a result of national and international bibliographical research. An inventory of some 30,000 incunabular books has been compiled, representing around fifty million copies that circulated over a period of roughly fifty years. This summer school aims to increase the participants' awareness of the issues surrounding the description, cataloguing and digitisation of incunabula. It is intended to highlight the interest of a scientific approach, for example by focussing on the conditions in which they were produced and on their content, as well as by reconstructing their journey to the present day through the study of their bindings and marks of origin. Target Audience * Students : any French or international student who will hold a Master’s degree (minimum) by the beginning of the 2015-2016 academic year, or who can demonstrate similar research experience * Specialist librarians : this training course can be included in the training programme of the institution or the organisation with which you are affiliated Prerequisites * Basic knowledge of Latin recommended. Course given in French. * Please bring a laptop computer. * Active participation : each participant will present his or her research and its context on the Tuesday afternoon with a poster as a visual aid, to be prepared in advance (minimum A3 size recommended, or a montage on a larger sheet). Notice boards will be available for participants. Application Procedure * Online application form * Application deadline: 30th April 2015 * Selected participants will be contacted by email no later than 15th May 2015 * Selection based on application : minimum 10 participants, maximum 15 Accomodation and Meals The course, accommodation and meals are completely free of charge for students. Travel costs as well as meals on Monday evening and Saturday noon are at the participants' expense.
