[ds:UniVie] Lecture Series continues with Elaine Chew on Jan 17th
by Maria Vargha 08 Jan '19

08 Jan '19

The research platform "Data Science @ Uni Vienna" continues its lecture series, to which we would like to cordially invite you. Elaine Chew will give a talk and concert mix titled "The (Data) Science of Time: From Music to the Heart", Elaine Chew will present and discuss mathematical models of time, timing and temporal structure in music and heart data, with demonstrations at a Bösendorfer piano. When: 17. January 2019, 16.30h Where: BIG Lecture Hall, Universitätsring 1, 1010 Wien Speaker: Elaine Chew, Queen Mary University Title: The (Data) Science of Time: From Music to the Heart Abstract: The explosion of data in the music industry and technological developments in musical instruments that can record performance nuances have made possible modern investigations into intangible properties of music such as expressivity. How do musicians shape performances? How are masterful interpretations crafted? What are the decisions that define a performance? What is the process of musicking: performing and listening? These have all become quantifiable and subject to scientific probing.The consequent ability to capture and model the rhythmic variations of performance transfers to other music-like systems like the human heart. This enables descriptions of individual experiences of cardiac arrhythmias, personalised diagnoses, and disease or risk stratification. Elaine Chew will present and discuss mathematical models of time, timing and temporal structure in music and heart data, with demonstrations at a piano. We are looking forward to seeing you! Registration for the event is not mandatory, but it will help us with the organization. Please sign up here: https://datascience.univie.ac.at/lecture-series/registration/ About the lecture series: The lecture series introduces international scientists with talks about their views on the possibilities and challenges of data science in their respective fields. We aim to reach a broad audience from various scientific backgrounds as well as the industry – from students to lecturers right up to entrepreneurs and interested parties and individuals. The next lecturers will be Elaine Chew, professor for digital media from the Queen Mary University in London (January 17^th 2019) and Gudrun Gersmann, professor for history from the University of Cologne (April 4^th 2019). About us : Data Science @ Uni Vienna is a new research platform at the University of Vienna that presents a hub on all activities in data science at the University of Vienna. Our primary focus is to bring researchers from different areas together to work on and solve several of the challenges that this new field presents. We specifically focus on problems arising in one of the following five domains, Astronomy, Digital Humanities, Finance, Industry 4.0, Medical Sciences. While these areas are broad, they have in common that they are data-driven and use similar methods from computer science, mathematics, and statistics.

CfP: Computer-Assisted Text Analysis for Resource-Scarce Literatures
by Georg Vogeler 07 Jan '19

07 Jan '19

Name: Susanna Allés Torrent Email: susanna_alles(a)miami.edu Article Title: Computer-Assisted Text Analysis for Resource-Scarce Literatures Post type: Call for Papers Post: Computer-Assisted Text Analysis for Resource-Scarce Literatures 24-25 April 2019 University of Miami, FL Call for Papers This two-day symposium aims to bring together scholars and researchers working with computational approaches to texts. The event targets a broad audience interested in the application of digital text analysis technology, as text mining, topic modeling, authorship detection, writing style analysis, text reuse, or more generally tasks performed through Natural Language Processing (NLP). These techniques have significant potential not only for the study of literature but also for the study of texts and language in general. The symposium aims to create an open forum for showcasing these techniques. The event is also grounded in the idea that computational text analysis should be integrated not only in the academic research by faculty and their PhD students, but also in a pedagogical environment. The use of computational analysis opens up new questions in literary studies, and exposes students to many different ways of thinking about literature today. Computer-aided literary studies still thus tend to be focused on literatures written in modern languages. NLP tools are quite developed for modern languages, especially for the modern English language. For medieval and premodern languages, due to their instability of orthographic forms, attempts to conduct computer-aided (thus, to a degree, systematic) research face many challenges to normalize and standardize their linguistic forms. Therefore, the symposium also aims to explore the use and challenge of using NLP tools for studying literatures written in underrepresented and historical languages, such as the medieval and premodern variants and precursors of Spanish, French, Latin, and Dutch. Therefore, a special focus will be on the preprocessing routines available for these texts, such as lemmatization, by which we collect inflected forms under a single item or lemma, as well as challenges faced normalizing orthographic variation of historical texts and other languages with unstable orthographies. Among the international and national speakers we will have several experts on the topic. Our envisioned program for the symposium is as follows: On the first day, there will be several workshops, including one devoted to integrating computer-assisted analysis in the classroom, which will offer an introduction to stylometry, visualization, and text-reuse. On the second day, there will be talks (30 min) that present ongoing research projects, methodologies, and challenges. The subject languages are preferably, but not limited to underrepresented and historical languages. We are specifically interested in receiving proposals for contributions on one or more of the following topics: Stylometry for authorship studies Stylometry as an approach to literary study Natural Language Processing and linguistic annotation Lemmatizers for underrepresented modern languages and old languages Text reuse detection Normalization Distributional semantics Network analysis Text visualization We especially welcome contributions from those working with any type of textual corpora, preferably those conceived for a specific research and/ from a diachronic perspective. We conceive this symposium as an opportunity to share (best)-practices and broaden conversation, thus proposals can be on ongoing and experimental methodologies. Confirmed Speakers: Greta Franzini (Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore) Francisco Gago Jover (College of the Holly Cross) Mike Kestemont (University of Antwerp) Enrique Manjavacas (University of Antwerp) Marco Passarotti (Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore) Dennis Tenen (Columbia University) Organization committee Susanna Allés Torrent Lindsay Thomas Scientific committee Susanna Allés Torrent Alberto Cairo Mitsunori Ogihara Allison Schifani Important dates 15 January 2018. Deadline for the submission of abstracts 30 January 2019. Notification of acceptance 24-25 April. Symposium Abstract submissions and format We invite researchers to submit 500-word proposals (including footnotes but excluding the bibliography) in one single page related to any of the topics mentioned above. The format of the contributions will be 20 mins presentations followed by 10 min Q&A. Title, name(s) and affiliation should appear and the prefered formats are .txt, .docx, .odt and pdf. Submissions must be sent to susanna_alles(a)miami.edu and they will be reviewed by the scientific committee. Languages The official language of the symposium is English, but it is possible to submit a proposal also in Spanish, French, or Italian.
