Suspicious emails should be forwarded to phishing(a)uleth.ca. Estimados compañeros, Os hacemos llegar un curso de verano organizado por el Laboratorio de Humanidades Digitales de la UNED<https://linhd.uned.es/>. El curso lleva por título Creación de un proyecto en Humanidades Digitales basado en el análisis de textos: modelado y procesamiento<https://extension.uned.es/actividad/idactividad/24581> y se celebrará del 28 al 30 de junio. Puede realizarse presencialmente o en línea (en directo o en diferido), tiene una duración de 20 horas y será eminentemente práctico. La investigación en Humanidades Digitales no ha dejado de crecer en los últimos años y son cada vez más los proyectos de historiadores, filólogos, o antropólogos que utilizan la tecnología para el análisis de corpus literarios en busca de patrones, la construcción de mapas digitales interactivos para una mejor visualización de los resultados de sus investigaciones, o la geolocalización de enclaves a los que se añaden capas de información multimedia, entre otras muchas posibilidades. Los humanistas digitales tienen un futuro prometedor en un área en crecimiento en el que se requieren perfiles profesionales mixtos y flexibles, capaces de organizar y etiquetar objetos digitales; así como gestionar su visualización y preservación en un entorno digital. Sin embargo, para desarrollar la investigación en esta área se ha de disponer de ciertos conocimientos técnicos tales como los que se abordan en el curso que os presentamos. El objetivo del mismo es diseñar un proyecto de humanidades digitales, desde el modelado del dominio hasta la creación de resultados y su diseminación, haciendo uso de lenguajes de programación, técnicas de modelado y visualización provenientes del mundo de la inteligencia artificial. Comenzaremos con una aproximación al mundo de las Humanidades Digitales y las problemáticas que surgen para el análisis de textos. Después, nos acercaremos a las metodologías y técnicas para resolver esos problemas mediante el modelado semántico y la perspectiva de los datos enlazados y lenguajes de marcas. Asimismo, se presentarán nuevos paradigmas computacionales relacionados con la Inteligencia Artificial como el procesamiento de textos, la estilometría, el deep learning, etc., y su aplicación. Para finalizar, se representarán los resultados obtenidos. Podéis obtener más información sobre el mismo y matricularos en este enlace.<https://www.fundacion.uned.es/actividad/idactividad/24581> Un cordial saludo Beatriz Tejada Carrasco Subdirectora de Planificación, Calidad y Comunicación Biblioteca UNED C/ Paseo de la senda del rey, 5 28040 Madrid Teléfono: 91 398 61 67 email: btejada(a)pas.uned.es AVISO LEGAL.

Suspicious emails should be forwarded to phishing(a)uleth.ca. EDITING LATE-ANTIQUE AND EARLY MEDIEVAL TEXTS PROBLEMS AND CHALLENGES II International Workshop Gargnano sul Garda (University of Milan), 10-12 October 2022 Call for Papers This workshop continues the project inaugurated in 2017 in Lisbon (link<http://www.tmp.letras.ulisboa.pt/cec-eventos-cientificos/cec-coloquios-e-co…>), aiming at fostering and promoting the exchange of ideas on how to edit late Antique and early Medieval texts (mostly Latin texts, but without excluding possible extensions to the Greek field). Young scholars in particular will be encouraged to present case-studies and share the editorial problems and methodological challenges that they had to face in order to fulfil their research or critical editions, in dialogue with more experienced scholars. As in the previous workshop, the centre of interest will be troublesome issues, such as, for example: - ‘open’ or ‘fluid’ texts - Latin texts translated from another language, like Greek, or bilingual texts - texts with variants by the author or in multiple recensions - texts with linguistic instability - texts transmitted by a huge number of manuscripts - collections of extracts - texts with a relevant indirect tradition. Keynote speakers Paolo Chiesa (Univ. Milano) Stephen Oakley (Emmanuel College, Cambridge) Gert Partoens (Katholieke Univ. Leuven) Papers The call is open to young scholars under the age of 40. The papers should be 30 minutes in length and will focus on the edition of late Antique and early Medieval texts. Proposals should concern ongoing research, in which methodological reflection on the most appropriate editorial practice and its problems plays an important role. The scientific committee will select a number of proposals to be presented and discussed during the workshop. The papers can be presented in English, French, Italian and Spanish. An abstract of around 200 words (including name, institution and email) and a short CV should be sent before 28 February 2022 to: editing.gargnano(a)gmail.com. Successful applicants will be notified by 30 April 2022. Location The conference will be held in the Palazzo Feltrinelli in Gargnano sul Garda, where the participants and the public will also be hosted: this will favour a closer contact and exchange during the whole duration of the workshop. The registration fee will cover board and lodging expenses. How to reach Gargnano: appropriate information will be provided later. Inscription fees 90 € (V.A.T. incl.) for participating with paper (included shuttle service Milano-Gargnano). 210 € (V.A.T. incl.) for other attendees with board and lodging included (three nights, five meals: different arrangements can be made with the organisers). The payment should be made before 31 July 2022. Bank account details will be provided later. Scientific Committee Rossana Guglielmetti (Univ. Milano), Paulo F. Alberto (Univ. Lisboa), David Paniagua (Univ. Salamanca) Organization Marina Giani (Univ. Milano), Riccardo Macchioro (Univ. Milano) Contacts E-mail: editing.gargnano(a)gmail.com.

University of Lethbridge to lockout faculty email: what to do if this list has trouble
by O'Donnell, Dan 29 Jan '22

29 Jan '22

Hi all, The Administration of the University of Lethbridge has announced that it is planning to lockout faculty from their email accounts in the event a current labour impasse proceeds to strike lockout. This is an irresponsible and reckless step for the administration of a research university to take, as it both endangers ongoing research projects, and places the health and safety of students, human subjects, and others at risk. Since this list has been hosted by the University for almost 20 years, there is a possibility that the list will be disrupted. I have updated my profile to use my alternate email address (daniel.odonnell(a)gmail.com), but we are unsure as to whether or not the lockout will affect the operation of the list (the administration is compounding its recklessness by refusing to say which systems will be affected and how). If you would like to register a concern about the Administration's decision to disrupt its faculty's professional communication and the operation of international research projects such as this, you can contact the president, Mike Mahon, at president(a)uleth.ca The union has indicated that it will not strike against research, precisely because of the harm this poses to health, safety, and the long-term reputation of the university. This means that I will be able to continue my participation in this project without crossing its (virtual) picket lines. -dan ------------------------------------------- The Board of Governors of the University of Lethbridge and my Faculty Association are currently at an impasse in labour negotiations. The Administration recently has informed us that they intend to lock faculty out of their university email and other online services in the event of job action. To ensure continuity in the event the Board carries through on this reckless and irresponsible threat, please begin using the following alternate email for professional correspondence: daniel.odonnell(a)gmail.com. For union email, my usual address will remain operational: president(a)ulfa.ca. Note that the Faculty Association has indicated that it will not ask members to strike against research and other non-service or teaching duties in the event of a strike or lockout. This is to avoid inflicting long-term damage on the institution and to ensure faculty are able to fulfil their research, ethical, and health and safety obligations. It also means that I will be able to continue with most correspondence even in the event of Job Action without crossing our (virtual) picket lines. If you would like to register a concern about the University’s decision to disrupt our professional communication, you can contact the president, Dr. Michael Mahon, at president(a)uleth.ca. I apologise for any inconvenience. [cid:1d00c3df-c04d-4149-98cf-d3f28974016e]

CfP: Second Workshop on Language Technologies for Historical and Ancient LAnguages (LT4HALA 2022)
by Eleonora Litta 18 Jan '22

18 Jan '22

Caution: This email was sent from someone outside of the University of Lethbridge. Do not click on links or open attachments unless you know they are safe. Suspicious emails should be forwarded to phishing(a)uleth.ca. CALL FOR PAPERS: Second Workshop on Language Technologies for Historical and Ancient LAnguages (LT4HALA 2022) * Website: https://circse.github.io/LT4HALA/2022<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcircse.gi…> * START submission site: https://www.softconf.com/lrec2022/LT4HALA/ * Place: co-located with LREC 2022, Marseille, France * Date: 25 June 2022 (post-conference workshop) DESCRIPTION LT4HALA 2022 is a one-day workshop that seeks to bring together scholars who are developing and/or are using Language Technologies (LTs) for historically attested languages, so to foster cross-fertilization between the Computational Linguistics community and the areas in the Humanities dealing with historical linguistic data, e.g. historians, philologists, linguists, archaeologists and literary scholars. LT4HALA 2022 follows LT4HALA 2020 that was organized in the context of LREC 2020 (proceedings: https://aclanthology.org/volumes/2020.lt4hala-1/). Despite the current availability of large collections of digitized texts written in historical languages, such interdisciplinary collaboration is still hampered by the limited availability of annotated linguistic resources for most of the historical languages. Creating such resources is a challenge and an obligation for LTs, both to support historical linguistic research with the most updated technologies and to preserve those precious linguistic data that survived from past times. Relevant topics for the workshop include, but are not limited to: * handling spelling variation; * detection and correction of OCR errors; * creation and annotation of digital resources; * deciphering; * morphological/syntactic/semantic analysis of textual data; * adaptation of tools to address diachronic/diatopic/diastratic variation in texts; * teaching ancient languages with NLP tools; * NLP-driven theoretical studies in historical linguistics; * evaluation of NLP tools. SHARED TASKS LT4HALA 2022 will hosts two shared tasks: * the second edition of EvaLatin, an evaluation campaign entirely devoted to the evaluation of NLP tools for Latin. The second edition of EvaLatin will focus on three tasks (i.e. Lemmatization, PoS tagging, and Morphological Feature Identification), each featuring three sub-tasks (i.e. Classical, Cross-Genre, Cross-Time). * the first edition of EvaHan, the first evaluation campaign for the evaluation of NLP tools for Ancient Chinese. EvaHan first edition has one task (i.e. a joint task of Word Segmentation and POS Tagging). Training data for both shared tasks are available on the conference website: * EvaLatin 2022 training data: https://circse.github.io/LT4HALA/2022/EvaLatin#training-data * EvaHan 2022 training data: https://circse.github.io/LT4HALA/2022/EvaHan#training-data SUBMISSIONS For the workshop, we invite papers of different types such as experimental papers, reproduction papers, resource papers, position papers, survey papers. Both long and short papers describing original and unpublished work are welcome. Long papers should deal with substantial completed research and/or report on the development of new methodologies. They may consist of up to 8 pages of content plus 2 pages of references. Short papers are instead appropriate for reporting on works in progress or for describing a singular tool or project. They may consist of up to 4 pages of content plus 2 pages of references. We encourage the authors of papers reporting experimental results to make their results reproducible and the entire process of analysis replicable, by making the data and the tools they used available. The form of the presentation may be oral or poster, whereas in the proceedings there is no difference between the accepted papers. The submission is NOT anonymous. The LREC official format is requested. Each paper will be reviewed but three independent reviewers. As for EvaLatin and EvaHan, participants will be required to submit a technical report for each task (with all the related sub-tasks) they took part in. Technical reports will be included in the proceedings as short papers: the maximum length is 4 pages (excluding references) and they should follow the LREC official format. Reports will receive a light review (we will check for the correctness of the format, the exactness of results and ranking, and overall exposition). All participants will have the possibility to present their results at the workshop: we will allocate an oral session and a poster session fully devoted to the shared tasks in the afternoon. IMPORTANT DATES Workshop * 8 April 2022: submission due * 29 April 2022: reviews due * 3 May 2022: notifications to authors * 24 May 2022: camera-ready (PDF) due Shared Tasks - PLEASE NOTE THAT NO EXTENSION IS PLANNED FOR THE SHARED TASKS EvaLatin * 20 December 2021: training data available * Evaluation Window I - Task: Lemmatization * 17 March 2022: test data available * 23 March 2022 system results due to organizers * Evaluation Window II - Task: PoS tagging * 24 March 2022: test data available * 30 March 2022: system results due to organizers * Evaluation Window III - Task: Features tagging * 31 March 2022: test data available * 6 April 2022: system results due to organizers * 26 April 2022: reports due to organizers * 10 May 2022: short report review deadline * 24 May 2022: camera ready version of reports due to organizers EvaHan * 20 December 2021: training data available * Evaluation Window * 31 March 2022: test data available * 6 April 2022: system results due to organizers * 26 April 2022: reports due to organizers * 10 May 2022: short report review deadline * 24 May 2022: camera ready version of reports due to organizers Identify, Describe and Share your LRs! * Describing your LRs in the LRE Map is now a normal practice in the submission procedure of LREC (introduced in 2010 and adopted by other conferences). To continue the efforts initiated at LREC 2014 about “Sharing LRs” (data, tools, web-services, etc.), authors will have the possibility, when submitting a paper, to upload LRs in a special LREC repository. This effort of sharing LRs, linked to the LRE Map for their description, may become a new “regular” feature for conferences in our field, thus contributing to creating a common repository where everyone can deposit and share data. * As scientific work requires accurate citations of referenced work so as to allow the community to understand the whole context and also replicate the experiments conducted by other researchers, LREC 2022 endorses the need to uniquely Identify LRs through the use of the International Standard Language Resource Number (ISLRN, www.islrn.org<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.islrn.…>), a Persistent Unique Identifier to be assigned to each Language Resource. The assignment of ISLRNs to LRs cited in LREC papers will be offered at submission time.

Graduate positions, Visionary Cross
by O'Donnell, Dan 14 Jan '22

14 Jan '22

Dear all, I would be grateful if you could pass on this notice to students interested in pursuing graduate research. Best, -dan The Visionary Cross and the Humanities Innovation Lab at the University of Lethbridge seek curious and enthusiastic graduate students for funded research positions at the MA and Ph.D. levels. If you are interested in Early Medieval England, 3-D Visualization, Humanities Data or the Digital Humanities, we are interested in hearing from you. We can also consider other proposals related to our work. The Visionary Cross is a case study in the future and implications of digital editions. The Project uses and critiques newly developed digital technologies in the study of a collection of important monuments and texts of early medieval England: the eighth-century Ruthwell and Bewcastle Stone Crosses from the kingdom of Northumbria, the eleventh-century Brussels Reliquary Cross and the late tenth-/early eleventh-century Vercelli Book poems “The Dream of the Rood” and “Elene from the south.” The project explores the ways in which these objects are connected to each other and the ways in which they might be best represented digitally. The Humanities Innovation Lab also hosts the Canterbury Tales Project, Humanities Data Inquiry, and the Lethbridge Journal Incubator. We have been very successful in recent funding rounds internally and externally and are developing a cohort of students at the MA and PhD level interested in Digital Humanities, Medieval English Literature, Textual Scholarship and Criticism, and Research Communication/Open Science/Open Data. What we are looking for: We seek students interested in Early Medieval England, Old English, manuscript studies, digital research methods, digital humanities and Open Science. You are a curious and enthusiastic research student who will take an active role in the project while carrying out your individual line of research. You want to work as part of a team and contribute to the lab’s research environment. You believe in open science and open data published under FAIR principles. Your interests might include: Early Medieval England 3-D Representation Object-Oriented Editions Old English Literature Manuscript Culture Textual Scholarship Open Data Digital Humanities… ...but we are open to considering other proposals. If you have an innovative critical approach, we want to hear from you. What we offer: We are offering funding for a Ph.D. or M.A. within a lively and diverse working environment. You will learn from peers and project leaders in the framework of the Humanities Innovation Lab, where you can learn about all aspects of the project and its management while sharing in the lab’s collaborative and interdisciplinary research environment. Our project works closely with several other well-funded Digital Humanities and Open Science projects at the University including work on Indigenous languages, Scholarly Communication, and Open Data. The University has a number of innovative cross-disciplinary programmes, including Cultural, Social, and Political Thought (which takes an interdisciplinary approach to problems in the Humanities and Social Sciences) and a new Data Sciences programme, which is developing an approach that will span the Sciences, Social Sciences, and Humanities. Lethbridge is a medium-sized city with a mild climate for the Canadian Prairies. It is located on the lands of the Blackfoot confederacy. Please contact professor Daniel O’Donnell (daniel.odonnell(a)uleth.ca), for an informal conversation. The deadline for a September start is February 2nd.
