SUMAC 2022
The 4th workshop on Structuring and Understanding of Multimedia heritAge Contents
10 or 14 October 2021 (TBA)
Lisbon, Portugal (attendance mode TBA)
In conjunction with ACM Multimedia 2022
Workshop: https://sumac-workshops.github.io/2022/
Conference: https://2022.acmmm.org
Aims and scope
The digitisation of large quantities of analogue data and the massive production of born-digital documents for many years now provide us with large volumes of varied multimedia data (images, maps, text, video, 3D objects, multi-sensor data, etc.), an important feature of which is that they are cross-domain. “Cross-domain” reflects the fact that these data may have been acquired in very different conditions: different acquisition systems, times and points of view (e.g. a 1962 postcard from the Arc de Triomphe vs. a recent street-view acquisition by mobile mapping of the same monument). These data represent an extremely rich heritage that can be exploited in a wide variety of fields, from Social Sciences and Humanities to land use and territorial policies, including smart city, urban planning, smart tourism and culture, creative media and entertainment. In terms of research in computer science and artificial intelligence, they address challenging problems related to the diversity, specificity and volume of the media, the variety of content descriptors (potentially including the time dimension), the veracity of the data, and the different user needs with respect to engaging with this rich material and the extraction of value out of the data. These challenges are reflected in various research topics such as multimodal and mixed media search, automatic content analysis, multimedia linking and recommendation, and big data analysis and visualisation where scientific bottlenecks may be exacerbated by the time dimension – which also provides topics of interest such as multimodal time series analysis. The objective of this workshop is to present and discuss the latest and most significant trends in the analysis, structuring and understanding of multimedia contents dedicated to the valorization of heritage, with the emphasis on enabling access to the big data of the past. We welcome research contributions for the following (but not limited to) topics:
* Multimedia and cross-domain data search, interlinking and recommendation• Dating and spatialization of historical data
* Mixed media data access and indexing
* Multi-modal deep learning
* Deep learning in adverse conditions (transfer learning, learning with side information, etc.)
* Multi-modal time series analysis, evolution modelling

Call for Papers - TEI 2022
The TEI2022 Program Committee is pleased to announce its call for proposals for the 22th annual Conference and Members’ Meeting of the Text Encoding Initiative Consortium (TEI), which will be held 13-16 September 2022 (Tue-Fri) at Newcastle University, Newcastle Upon Tyne, United Kingdom with pre-conference workshops 12-13 September 2022 (Mon-Tue).
https://conferences.ncl.ac.uk/tei2022/
This year’s theme is:
Text as data
The past decade has seen a huge increase of data produced by (social)media platforms, digital literary outputs, and various mass digitization efforts of cultural heritage and administrative records. Though these vast data collections hold enormous potential for diverse research, collecting and analyzing text-based data also presents unique challenges that need to be addressed. The increasing quantity of the textual data coincides with its improved availability and accessibility, but also the continuously progressing development of data models, tools, text-mining, and machine-learning techniques. The TEI community is working at the intersection of many of these areas.
If we want the computer to “understand” a text we must either mark textual phenomena or instruct a computer to identify them. In their acclaimed work “The Shape of Data in the Digital Humanities” from 2018, Julia Flanders and Fotis Jannidis refer to this as “a choice between an algorithmic approach […] or what we might call a “metatextual” approach, in which information is added to the text in some explicit form that enables it to be processed intelligently”.
This call invites contributions dealing with text-related tasks in all aspects of the research process: discovery, analysis, representation, visualization, prediction, causal inference, etc.
Possible topics related to this theme include:
* TEI for analysis, annotation or visualization
* TEI and machine learning, data science, or text mining
* TEI and literary analysis
* TEI and linked open data
* TEI and complex data structures
* TEI and computer-mediated communication or social media
* TEI and computer vision or handwritten text recognition
* TEI and formal ontologies or stand-off annotation
* TEI and models of text
* TEI and galleries/libraries/archives/museums
but submissions in other areas are also welcome.
Submission Information
Each submission should include a title, an abstract, up to five keywords, and a brief biography for each of the authors. (Each biography should be no more than 500 characters, and should include current affiliation, research interests, and projects).
The following word counts apply to the text of the abstract excluding titles, bibliography, keywords, and biographies.
Language
The proposals must be submitted in English. The conference language is English.
Submission Procedure
* Proposals must be submitted online via ConfTool: https://www.conftool.pro/tei2022/. You will need a (free) account to submit a proposal.
* The deadline for submissions is 20 June 2022 by 23:59 HAST.
* All proposals will be peer-reviewed by the Program Committee.

Digital Classicist London Seminar
Historical Ecology of Southern Burgundy
Scott Madry, UNC Chapel Hill
Friday June 10, 2022. 17:00 (UK time).
Online only. Watch live at https://youtu.be/5noIaELDgps<https://youtu.be/5noIaELDgps>
For some forty years now I have conducted, along with several colleagues, a long-term regional study of the relationships between peoples and their cultures and the environment in the region that is now southern Burgundy, France. We have, using an inherently interdisciplinary, even trans-disciplinary approach, investigated how people interact with the landscape over a period of 2,000 years, from the Iron Age to the present day. We have brought together archaeologists, historians, ecologists, geologists and more, focusing on how peoples both influence and are influenced by their environment using the approach of Historical Ecology. I have focused much of my part of this larger, on-going work on the application of advanced technologies to such regional and temporal studies. These include historical cartography, aerial photography and remote sensing, Global Navigation Satellite Systems (like the U.S. GPS), digital data archiving, and the integration of disparate data derived from many sources in our long-standing Geographic Information Systems (GIS). I see GIS as an integrative context where the data from many research disciplines and approaches can be both stored and analyzed, displayed and shared.
We have found that our Historical Ecology approach to this work allows us to bring together disciplinary approaches, data, and perspectives, and to synthesize these in ways that are not possible within any single discipline or suite of technologies. I am also a very strong proponent of Free and Open Source (FOSS) software, and the great majority of our technical work is done using open source tools that can be freely shared, modified, and adapted.
ALL WELCOME

Hello DM community!
CFP open now, with submissions due June 1, for the Medieval Academy of America's 2023 Annual Meeting in Washington, DC.
Manuscript Fragments and Fragmentology at the Library of Congress<http://www.medievalacademy.org/page/2023AnnualMeeting#ManuscriptFragments>
Session held on-side at the Library of Congress
Friday, February 24, 2023
With the aim of identifying and reconstructing broken books, the field of Fragmentology has adopted digital tools and shared virtual workspaces. What data do we gather and what stories do we tell with this emerging field of research? How are librarians, curators, collectors, historians, musicologists, textual scholars, students, and digital humanists collaborating and producing new knowledge? How do these bits of books intersect with nationality and identity, and how do these constructs impact the scholarly work of identifying and reconstructing manuscripts? This session will be hosted onsite at the Library of Congress, and although it is not limited to any geographical scope, new research on DC-area collections of medieval manuscript fragments is especially welcome.
Organizers: Marianna Stell (Reference Librarian, Rare Book and Special Collections Division, Library of Congress) and Matthew J. Westerby (Research Associate, Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts, National Gallery of Art)
Moderator: Lisa Fagin Davis (Medieval Academy of America)
