Samewords: a tool for word disambiguation in critical editions
by Michael Stenskjær Christensen 20 Mar '18

20 Mar '18

Dear all (with the familiar apologies for cross-posting), I would like to let the list know of a tool that might relieve the textual critic of a few grey hairs. If you have tried making critical editions in LaTeX with the wonderful Reledmac package (https://ctan.org/pkg/reledmac), you will know that it incorporates a feature for handling references to one of several instances of a given word in the same line. The challenge is that these potentially conflicting identical words need to be annotated before the .tex file is compiled, and it is therefore generally done manually. This is painstaking work, and even small changes in layout may require a revision of the whole text to check for new potentially ambiguous words. So I am working on a script that does this for you. It currently lives at https://github.com/stenskjaer/samewords. You can see more in the documentation at http://samewords.readthedocs.io/. I have worked on it intermittently for a longer period now, and it generally runs well and handles stuff that I throw at it rather well. But it is still a younger tool, and is therefore also still moving towards a 1.0 version. Although I have tried putting it through as many different possible and impossible scenarios as I can think of, there may still be some cases that it does not handle correctly. So if you try it and find any problems, either in usability or the results it spits out, please let me know, either via email or (preferably) an issue on Github. If you should have any other comments, feedback or thoughts, or just find the solution useful I am of course all ears. All the best, Michael S. Christensen [R&R] <http://representationandreality.gu.se/> Michael Stenskjær Christensen<mailto:michaelsc@hum.ku.dk> • PhD-student<http://saxoinstitute.ku.dk/staff/?pure=en/persons/345119> Representation and Reality<http://representationandreality.gu.se/> • University of Gothenburg<http://www.gu.se/english> Department of Greek and Latin<http://saxo.ku.dk/> • University of Copenhagen<http://www.ku.dk/>

Cfp COMHUM 2018

19 Mar '18

** apologies for cross posting ** Dear members of the list, this workshop organized by colleagues at the Université de Lausanne might be of interest for some of you. Best wishes, Elena Spadini *Call for Proposals* *Workshop on Computational Methods in the Humanities 2018 (COMHUM 2018)* *Workshop date: June 4–5, 2018 Location: University of Lausanne,* *Switzerland* ―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― It is often said that the digital humanities are “situated at the intersection of computer science and the humanities,” but what does this mean? We believe that the point of using computers in the humanities is not just to automatically analyze larger amounts of data or to accelerate research. We therefore prefer to understand digital humanities as (1) the study of means and methods of constructing formal models in the humanities and (2) as the application of these means and methods for the construction of concrete models in particular humanities disciplines. The central research questions are thus correspondingly (1) which computational methods are most appropriate for dealing with the particular challenges posed by humanities research, e.g., uncertainty, vagueness, incompleteness, but also with different positions (points of view, values, criteria, perspectives, approaches, readings, etc.)? And (2) how can such computational methods be applied to concrete research questions in the humanities? The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers involved with computational approaches in the humanities with the objective of stimulating the research and exchange around innovative, methodologically explicit approaches, to encourage discussion among researchers and developers from different communities, and to help bridging the divide that still exists between the different disciplines involved in this field. The program will consist of invited and contributed talks on computational methods for and in the humanities. The official language of the workshop is English. Contributions can be submitted in English or French. The workshop is organized by the Department of Language and Information Sciences at the University of Lausanne, with the support of the Faculty of Arts. The workshop underlines the commitment of the Department of Language and Information Sciences to the computational dimension of the digital humanities, including formal and mathematical methods. Topics ══════ The topics of the workshop encompass formal and computational aspects related to the development and use of computational methods in the humanities (in particular the disciplines represented in the Faculty of Arts of UNIL - such as literature, linguistics, history, history of art, cinema studies, game studies). Topics include, but are not limited to: • Theoretical issues of formal modeling in the humanities • Knowledge representation in the humanities • Data structures addressing specific problems in the humanities (including text and markup) • Quantitative methods in the humanities • Computer vision and image analysis in the humanities • Spatial analysis in the humanities • Network analysis in the humanities Submissions ═══════════ We invite researchers to submit abstracts of 500 to 1000 words (1–2 pages, excluding references). Abstracts will be reviewed double-blind by the members of the program committee, and all submissions will receive several independent reviews. Abstracts submitted at review stage must not contain the authors’ names, affiliations, or any information that may disclose the authors’ identity. Authors of accepted abstracts will be invited to present their research at the workshop as a talk, and the abstracts will be published in the book of abstracts of the workshop. The abstracts must use the ACL 2017 format. Please strictly follow the guidelines that will be published on the workshop Web site. Abstracts must be submitted electronically in PDF format. For abstracts submissions we use EasyChair: [https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=comhum2018]. For details please consult the workshop Web site at [http://www.unil.ch/llist/events/comhum2018]. Authors of accepted contributions will be invited, after the conference, to submit a full paper version (6–16 pages), which, after peer-review, will be published in an open-access, electronic conference volume endowed with persistent identifiers (to be confirmed soon). Invited Speakers ════════════════ • Manfred Thaller • (more to be confirmed) Important Dates ═══════════════ Deadline for submission of abstracts April 16, 2018 Notification of acceptance April 30, 2018 Workshop June 4–5, 2018 Program Committee ═════════════════ • François Bavaud • Raphaël Ceré • Barbara McGillivray • Cerstin Mahlow • Isaac Pante • Davide Picca • Michael Piotrowski (chair) • Yannick Rochat • Elena Spadini • Sabine Süsstrunk • Aris Xanthos Further Information ═══════════════════ [http://www.unil.ch/llist/event/comhum2018] llist(a)unil.ch -- elenaspadini.com PostDoc - UNIL Centre de recherches sur les lettres romandes <http://www.unil.ch/crlr>

Please note this job opening for a PhD (3 years) at Huygens ING in Amsterdam, Netherlands: a project on the crossroads of palaeography and digital humanities. Feel free to pass it around in your network! At the crossroads of manuscript studies and digital humanities: Opening for a PhD researcher in the project Digital Forensics In collaboration with the International Institute for Social History, the Huygens Institute for the History of the Netherlands has been awarded a research grant from the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences for the project 'Digital forensics for historical documents. Cracking cold cases with new technology'. In this project, digital image analysis will be used to develop new ways of analysing historical script. The project runs from June 2018 - June 2021. One of the two work packages of the project will develop a new, digital method of script analysis, aiming to bridge the gap between the palaeographical and forensic method. By combining and exploring digital image collections, we will develop a deep learning system that matches the unique characteristics of one script sample to those that are closest to it. Partners in this project are Huygens ING, IISH, Leiden University and Microsoft.
