IEEE CiSt'23 "Digital Preservation and Processing Technology of Written Heritage"
by Franz FISCHER 20 Dec '22

20 Dec '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. Dear digital medievalists, The 3rd Conference on Digital Preservation and Processing Technology of Written Heritage will be held in conjunction with the 7th IEEE International Congress on Information Science and Technology (IEEE CiSt'23) the week of December 16th – 22th 2023 in Agadir - Essaouira, Morocco. Written cultural heritage is constituted by an immense and constantly growing number of texts conveyed by books, manuscripts, documents, and any supporting medium. They are a means of communication and transmission of knowledge and traditions, cultures and beliefs, literature and law, across space and time. Written cultural heritage gives witness to the evolution of humanity, sciences, and arts. It is considered as guardian of speech and language. Preservation, accessibility and exploration of written heritage are core tasks of heritage institutions such as archives, libraries and museums as well as of universities and other academic bodies. Digital technologies provide new and more comprehensive approaches for safeguarding texts and historical documents as well as for enabling meaningful engagement with our written heritage not only by expert curators but also by citizen scientists and the general public. More recent enhancements of digisiation technologies and computational tools allow for considerable advances in classification, archiving, analysis and interpretation of documents. However, the transformation of the textual heritage into digital assets gives rise to many concerns and challenges. The digitization process of handwritten texts, prints and historical documents represents a paramount task. The loss of information issue from acquisition of an original object is but one of many problems to handle. The digital turn not only presents technological challenges. Methodological and theoretical implications question traditional ways of perceiving and defining texts and textuality, including the mechanisms and means of textual transmission. Digitally transformed ecosystems of knowledge are based on the digital representations of texts and text bearing objects, with the potential of allowing a more efficient preservation and, potentially, a more accurate comprehension of their history and tradition which may help to better understand the present and plan for the future. The conference aims to serve as a valuable venue for researchers and practitioners to exchange their insights, experiences, and best practices. The conference will focus on various aspects related to the preservation strategies and workflows, digital content management and automatic processing systems as well as infrastructures, frameworks and tools used for preserving and making accessible written heritage. TOPICS We solicit submissions of original ideas and papers describing significant results and developments in the digital curation of written cultural heritage focussing but not restricted to the following topics: * Digitisation workflows, tools and infrastructures * Heritagization criteria and practices * Born digital textual heritage * Page segmentation, layout analysis and classification * Image/video preprocessing (incl. multiview geometry, 3D computer vision) and analysis * Handwritten text recognition (HTR), optical character recognition (OCR) and manual transcription * Digital representation of texts: standards and formats * Annotation, indexing and search * Textual authenticity, fidelity and reliability * Licenses and legal issues * Knowledge representation: accumulation, integration, management * Accessibility, usability and impact of digital resources CHAIRS Dr. Ouafae Nahli, ILC CNR, Pisa, Italy Dr. Franz Fischer, VeDPH, Università Ca' Foscari Venezia, Italy Dr. Angelo Mario Del Grosso, ILC CNR, Pisa, Italy PAPER SUBMISSION Prospective authors should submit, by using EDAS online paper submission platform<https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=29962&track=113637>, a paper of 4 to 6 pages maximum, including references in scholarly English and describing their original work using the IEEE template<https://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.ht…>.

Fwd: FW: The Past, Present, and Future of Digital Editing
by Daniela Schulz 19 Dec '22

19 Dec '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. ---------- Forwarded message --------- Von: Daniela Schulz <schulz(a)hab.de<mailto:schulz@hab.de>> Date: Mo., 19. Dez. 2022, 11:42 Subject: FW: The Past, Present, and Future of Digital Editing To: <danielamschulz(a)googlemail.com<mailto:danielamschulz@googlemail.com>> From: Daniela Schulz <schulz(a)hab.de<mailto:schulz@hab.de>> Sent: Monday, December 19, 2022 11:36 AM To: 'dm-l(a)uleth.ca<mailto:dm-l@uleth.ca>' <dm-l(a)uleth.ca<mailto:dm-l@uleth.ca>> Subject: CFP: The Past, Present, and Future of Digital Editing Call for Papers: The Past, Present, and Future of Digital Editing A conference at the Herzog August Bibliothek Wolfenbüttel on 25-27 September 2023 Internet edition, electronic edition, digital edition… numerous terms have been used in recent decades to describe the provision of scholarly texts in digital form for research. Patrick Sahle’s catalogue<https://www.digitale-edition.de/exist/apps/editions-browser/index.html> (v 4.0, 2020ff) currently lists 817 “Digital Scholarly Editions”. Some of the projects mentioned are available only on CD-ROM. The time span covers the 1980s to the present day, with completely different edenda. Consequently there are different editorial approaches, and various types of editions and technical realisations. A look at the catalogue clearly shows the dynamics of developments and thus also the breadth of today’s editorial landscape. In 2003, the Herzog August Bibliothek also published its first “Internetedition”. Beside the provision of previously unpublished letters by Athanasius Kircher<http://diglib.hab.de/edoc/ed000005/startx.htm>, the conceptual focus was on testing textual markup using TEI-XML in a library context, in particular the question of integrating original sources and research literature into the edition. Today, the use of the TEI guidelines can be considered an established standard. But nevertheless: the last decades have also been marked by numerous changes in the field of scholarly editing. Alongside a pluralisation of concepts of text, an expanded range of addressees and (re)use scenarios for editions, as well as new technical possibilities, changed funding conditions and the emergence of research infrastructures require consideration. Edition projects have to adapt to these parameters. The conference, which will take place from 25-27 September 2023 on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of digital editing at the Herzog August Bibliothek Wolfenbüttel, will focus on the discussion of both theoretical and practical questions. The aim is to assess the current state of affairs, to include and critically reflect on past developments, and to shape perspectives for the future. The following topics are intended to provide examples of the event’s focus: * historical analysis and assessment of digital editing in the last decades * past, present and future challenges of digital editing in philological as well as in technical/practical matters * standardisation vs. innovation * openness vs. closedness * established and innovative software solutions * reflection of an increasingly diversified concept of text and/or expanded user groups and scenarios * opportunities and challenges in the inclusion of other media besides text and their significance * changing frameworks, contexts (e.g. National Research Data Infrastructures), demands and increasing requirements (e.g. RDM, FAIR and CARE principles) * measures for the FAIRification of digital editions * reception of digital editions and quality assurance * connectivity of ongoing and completed edition projects * lessons learnt We cordially invite researchers from all disciplines to participate in these discussions with a presentation of about 20 minutes. The conference language is mainly German. Presentations in English are also welcome. We kindly ask you to submit an abstract of a maximum of 750 words together with a short CV and contact details (email, postal address) to schulz[at]hab.de<http://hab.de> by 10 February 2023. Please refrain from merely presenting a specific project. The relevance to the overarching theme of the conference should be made clear in the abstract. The event will be organised in cooperation with the NFDI consortium Text+. A publication of proceedings is planned. Subject to the availability of funds, travel and accommodation costs for speakers may be covered, at least on a pro rata basis. In order to be able to respond flexibly to potential restrictions at the time of the conference, it is planned as a hybrid event. Further information is available on the event page https://events.gwdg.de/event/363/, which will be updated regularly. We look forward to your ideas and contributions! If you have any questions, please contact Daniela Schulz (schulz[at]hab.de<http://hab.de>).

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. [Apologies for cross-posting] Dear colleagues, We are delighted to announce that the BFM2022 corpus of Old and Middle French (9th to 15th centuries) is now available from the web portal of the Base de Français Médiéval at https://txm-bfm.huma-num.fr/txm/?command=documentation&path=/BFM2022. The Base de Français Médiéval provides free access to several corpora (source texts and digital annotation) under a French public open data license (https://www.etalab.gouv.fr/licence-ouverte-open-licence). Three modes of access are supported : • search, analysis and reading tools provided by the TXM-BFM web portal; • download a binary corpus file for use with TXM local application; • download TEI XML source files from NAKALA repository: https://nakala.fr/collection/10.34847/nkl.93ee3ts1. The BFM portal is now hosted by the Huma-Num infrastructure which provides a secure connection for user data. The BFM2022 corpus includes some fifty new texts, amounting to approximately 6,450,000 words. All the texts are formatted according to the TEI guidelines (including the instances of direct speech), automatically pos-tagged and lemmatized. The POS tags have been manually verified in 8 new texts (46 total, approximately 1,000,000 words), and the lemmatization has been verified and disambiguated in 27 texts (aproximately 620,000 words). An original digital edition of Psautier d’Arundel by C. Pignatelli is one of the new texts included in the corpus. As well as BFM2022, a syntactically annotated corpus PROFITEROLE-V1-0 is now available from the BFM web portal. Produced by the ANR funded PROFITEROLE Project (https://www.lattice.cnrs.fr/projets/projets-passes/projet-anr-profiterole), it supports querying syntactic relations encoded according the Universal Dependencies guidelines (https://universaldependencies.org). We will appreciate any feedback on technical issues or errors in texts you may encounter while using the BFM.

12 Dec '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. Hello all, I am Haripriya Mehta, an MIT alum, co-founder of MehtA+<https://mehtaplustutoring.com/>, based in the US and head instructor of AI/Machine Learning Research bootcamp. For the past few summers, we have successfully taught 75+ high school students, who have applied advanced AI/machine learning techniques to the digital humanities and the sciences, completing projects independently and with universities such as Northeastern University<https://wwp.northeastern.edu/blog/machine-learning/>, University of Buffalo SUNY, Singapore Institute of Technology and University of Bologna, Italy. Examples of past projects<https://github.com/MehtaPlusTutoring/studentprojects/tree/main/aimlresearch…> include predicting weather-related flight delays, dating an Italian philosopher's texts using handwriting recognition, classifying whether a patient has melanoma using images of skin lesions, charting the evolution of the word "que" in the Spanish language, determining the author of disputed Federalist papers and analyzing sentiment of tweets for stock price prediction. For this upcoming summer, we are looking to partner up with scholars (professors/PhD students/postdocs) in the sciences/engineering/humanities in need of help in applying AI techniques to their work. Our staff will mentor students on computational aspects of the project, and the scholar will volunteer their time to provide datasets and domain knowledge that will help students work on the project. Expected time commitment would be ~2-4 hours during the summer. Projects that are of a predictive/classification nature, and that may involve natural language processing or image recognition are ideal for this camp. If there are other computational projects (app development/web development, etc.) that you would like our students' help with or if you are unsure if AI/machine learning techniques that we teach in our camp will be applicable to your work, please still feel free to reach out! Our students have created a mobile app for an educational startup, an educational website for a kidney transplant surgeon and are working on a data visualization for the University of Buffalo SUNY's Marianne Moore Digital Archive. If you know anyone who would be interested in such a collaboration, please feel free to forward this email. I would be happy to hop on a Zoom call with you if you would like to discuss this more. Thanks. Sincerely, Haripriya Mehta Co-founder of MehtA+ hpm(a)mehtaplustutoring.com<mailto:hpm@mehtaplustutoring.com>
