09 Jul '25

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, on Monday 28 July 2025 at 15:00 BST = 16:00 CEST/Rome, Paolo Monella and Andrea La Veglia will be leading an open Digital Classicist wiki editing sprint themed "Viva l'Italia!", including an introductory short training session in English on how to edit the wiki itself. What is the Digital Classicist Wiki (wiki.digitalclassicist.org)? It is a collaboratively edited catalogue of projects, tools, methods and other topics in the application of digital humanities to ancient world studies. If you would like to contribute to the maintenance and editing of this platform, please join us for this introductory workshop and tutorial. What will we do in the initial training session? The initial session will introduce the Wiki, its goals and scope, and the simple wiki-syntax with which it is edited (the same MediaWiki platform as Wikipedia and related wikis). It will involve a short tutorial and demonstration of the interface, followed by the opportunity to practice editing on the live Wiki, with one-to-one support from experienced editors. Theme The "Viva l'Italia!" theme is mostly a tribute to the numerosity of the Italian members of the Digital Classicist (DC) community. Paolo and Andrea will be mostly focussing on digital projects from Italy or by Italians abroad, but everyone is welcome to contribute on whatever page and in whatever way. Booking Advance booking is required (https://ics.sas.ac.uk/events/introduction-digital-classicist-wiki-editing). If you do not already have an account on the Digital Classicist Wiki, please contact one of the site administrators *before the day of the session* to request a new account be created for you.

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 colleagues, With apologies for cross posting. I am pleased to introduce a new project aimed at enabling digital research on manuscript catalogue data. Our DiSc<https://digitalscholarship.web.ox.ac.uk/>-funded project within the Bodleian Libraries is working to transform the Bodleian’s TEI-encoded medieval manuscript catalogues into accessible tabular formats such as CSV, to support innovative research in manuscript studies and the digital humanities. By making these data more user-friendly, we hope to foster new research avenues and collaborations. We kindly invite you to participate in a brief survey (approx. 10 minutes) to share your views on which data fields and features would best support your research needs. Your feedback will be invaluable in ensuring that our resource has the widest possible applicability. Please take a moment to complete the survey here: https://forms.office.com/e/PyDudx3BDK The survey will remain open until March 28th. We appreciate your input and look forward to your responses. Thank you for your time and contribution. All the best, Sebastian Dows-Miller Sebastian Dows-Miller | sebastian.dows-miller(a)bodleian.ox.ac.uk Research Assistant (Enabling Digital Research on Manuscript Catalogue Data) │ Bodleian Libraries │ University of Oxford Lecturer in French │ Merton and St Peter’s Colleges │ University of Oxford

ATNU Virtual Speaker Series - Hannah Busch - "Matching Medieval Manuscripts with Machine Learning" - 2025-02-19

04 Feb '25

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. [Please Forward] === https://research.ncl.ac.uk/atnu/news/atnuvirtualspeakerseries-hannahbusch-2… Our next speaker in the ATNU Virtual Speaker Series is Hannah Busch from the CCeH at the University of Cologne who will talk to us about "Matching Medieval Manuscripts with Machine Learning". Join us on Wednesday 19 February 2025 at 4pm UK time. (We will send the zoom link to all registered attendees shortly before the event.) "Matching Medieval Manuscripts with Machine Learning" Hannah Busch (University of Cologne) Wednesday 19 February 2025 4pm (GMT) (8am PT, 11am ET) Abstract: Large-scale digitization projects of the past twenty years and the possibility of exploitation with the help of the International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF) have substantially contributed to reaching a critical mass which allows the application of deep learning for the study of medieval book scripts. In the past years, not only the number of digitized medieval sources increased significantly, but also the quality of the image data. Parallel to this development, the computation of images is becoming more powerful, and—more importantly—affordable. During my presentation I am going to talk about the possibilities of dating and localizing the origin of medieval Latin manuscripts with the help of Deep Machine Learning/Artificial Intelligence. I will be giving insights in how to approach such an undertaking of building an image similarity search based on palaeographical features of medieval Latin scripts. In particular, I’ll be focusing on the reuse of existing scholarly manuscript descriptions for the training of Artificial Neural Networks and the challenges that come with relying on those new technologies. How is the palaeographic information encoded in descriptive metadata? Can manuscript metadata be read and processed by the machine? Can it be used to teach Artificial Neural Networks which manuscript samples are similar by means of Latin palaeography? To conclude my presentation, I’d like to discuss how we can build a bridge between the output of the artificial palaeographic eye and the human readable descriptive metadata. Bio: Hannah Busch studied German-Italian Studies (BA) and Textual Scholarship (MA) in Bonn, Florence, and Berlin. She worked as a research associate at the Trier Center for Digital Humanities, and as a PhD candidate within the project “Digital Forensics for Historical Documents” at the Huygens Instituut (KNAW) in Amsterdam and at Leiden University. In her doctoral thesis, she is working on the application of deep machine learning methods for the dating and localization of medieval Latin manuscripts. Her research interests also lie in various areas of digital medieval studies, in particular the (mass) digitization of medieval written documents and experimentation with computer-aided methods for manuscript research. Since June 2023, Hannah is a research associate at the Cologne Center for eHumanities (CCeH) within the academy project Formation of Europe. === If you missed our previous talks you can see recordings of them at: https://research.ncl.ac.uk/atnu/speakers/
