MIRABILE-A TLAS FELLOWSHIPS IN D IGITAL HUMANITIES OF THE ZENO KARL SCHINDLER FOUNDATION The Zeno Karl Schindler Foundation [http://www.zenokarlschindler-foundation.ch] has established two fellowships, each of them for six to twelve months, to support the development of the «MIRABILE. Digital Archive for Medieval Latin Culture» [www.mirabileweb.it] project maintained by SISMEL (International Society for the Study of Medieval Latin, Via Montebello 7, I-50123 Florence www.sismelfirenze.it). It is intended that the fellows will carry out their fellowships at the seat of the SISMEL following the development agenda of the MIRABILE project, with a monthly stipend of CHF 2,500 (Swiss francs). Applications should be submitted (with curriculum vitae and motivation letter) by July 1, 2022 via email to: Prof. Jean-Yves Tilliette (Jean-Yves.Tilliette(a)unige.ch). The results of the evaluation procedure will be published by August 31, 2022. Winners will be given the opportunity to start the fellowship from the beginning of October 1st, 2022. MIRABILE-ATLAS Fellowship core objectives 1. On-line publication, with related search functions for the search and visualization, of data present in MIRABILE on an atlas of medieval culture with related cross-searches and interactive navigation over the data retrieved from the database. All data will be transformed in JSON, which is the standard format for the management of data used by Elastic Search for indexing. 2. Integration with information present in MIRABILE's databases (such as the author, the texts, the manuscripts that conserve them and the bibliography). The development of this new module will provide the ability to show those database informations on a map. The geographical data will be loaded by the user inserting it in a text field. To facilitate the user, a lemmatization algorithm will be used, it will analyze the text contained in the document by detecting the entries in it. 3. A user interface that will integrate the search engine results, will be implemented in the new project, providing a way to view the data on an interactive map. People with the following characteristics can apply for one of the following profiles or for both, by indicating it explicitely 1. First profile Ability to understand and process data from database to JSON format and link them to meta-textual information present in MIRABILE (with knowledge of cartography); Good knowledge of Latin Knowledge of JSON format and OpenStreetMap Basic knowledge of authors, texts and manuscripts of medieval Latinity Basic knowledge of the problems concerning the transmission of medieval texts 2. Second profile Knowledge of software development methodologies for web-oriented applications, both in front-end and back-end for access to sql-type databases.

Suspicious emails should be forwarded to phishing(a)uleth.ca. <Call for Nominations to DM Board 2022–2026> Digital Medievalist (DM) is an international web-based community for medievalists working with digital media to support scholars in meeting the increasingly sophisticated demands faced by designers of contemporary digital projects. Digital Medievalist publishes an open access journal, sponsors conference sessions, runs an email discussion list and encourages best practice in digital medieval resource creation. Digital Medievalist is overseen by an nine-member Executive Board of medievalists with considerable experience in the use of digital media in the study of medieval topics. Digital Medievalist is now seeking nominations (including self-nominations) to fill 5 positions on its Executive Board for terms beginning August 2022. Elections will be holding at the end of June 2022. Board positions are for 4-year terms, and incumbents may be re-elected (for a maximum of 2 terms [8 years] in a row). Members of the Board are responsible for the overall direction of the organisation and leading the Digital Medievalist’s many projects and programmes. This is a working board, and so it is expected that those elected will be willing and able to commit a little bit of time to helping Digital Medievalist undertake some of its activities (such as helping to run its journal, developing programming to support DM’s mission including online events or conference sessions, and contributing to its social media presence and activity, among others). For further information about the Executive Board and Digital Medievalist more generally please see the DM website, particularly: https://digitalmedievalist.wordpress.com/about/ https://digitalmedievalist.wordpress.com/about/board-roles/ https://digitalmedievalist.wordpress.com/about/election-procedures/ https://digitalmedievalist.wordpress.com/about/bylaws/ In order to be eligible for election, candidates must be members of Digital Medievalist (membership is conferred simply by subscription to the organisation’s mailing list, dm-l) and have made some demonstrable contribution either to the DM project (e.g. to the mailing list, or the wiki, etc.), or to the field of digital medieval studies. If you are interested in running for these positions or are able to recommend a suitable candidate, please contact Claudia Sojer (claudia.sojer(a)uni-erfurt.de) or N. Kıvılcım Yavuz (nky(a)ku.edu) who will treat your nomination or enquiries in confidence.

Improving HTR output from Greek papyri and Byzantine manuscripts - HTREC challenge 2022

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, dear AI crowd, Training material has been released for preparation of the HTREC 2022 challenge, 1-8 June 2022, to improve Artificial Intelligence driven text recognition from Greek papyri and Byzantine manuscripts! - An AI crowd challenge organised by the Venice Centre for Digital and Public Humanities (VeDPH), Ca' Foscari University of Venice. See: https://www.aicrowd.com/challenges/htrec-2022 Handwritten text recognition (HTR) concerns the conversion of scanned images of handwritten text into machine-encoded text. This is a challenging task that can lead to transcribed text with multiple errors or even to no transcription at all when training data (e.g., on a specific script) are not available. This challenge aims to post-correct automatically any HTR transcription errors, attempting to build on recent NLP advances, such as on Grammatical Error Correction. Why Is This Challenge Important? New, unpublished data will be released with this challenge and the state of the art in the field will be drawn. A workshop, that will take place in Venice in November 2022, will discuss the results. What is the dataset like? The training instances consist of images of handwritten texts that have been transcribed by human experts (the ground truth) and by a state of the art HTR model (the input). The texts comprise Greek papyri and byzantine manuscripts. First, more than 1,800 lines of transcribed text will be released in order to serve as training and validation data. The use of other resources for training is allowed and suggested. Next, an evaluation set will be released, for which we will only share the input. A very small part of the evaluation set is used to keep an up to date leaderboard. What Are The Key Tasks? The task involves the correction of any errors present in the HTR-ed text, provided the system transcription of the manuscript in question. The ground truth of the evaluation set is used to score participating systems in terms of character error *reduction* rate (CERR). A starter kit notebook is provided here to assist with system development and evaluation. Prizes! The Participant with the best performing system will be invited to attend a workshop in Venice, upon the completion of the challenge, and present the respective system description paper with all expenses covered. Timeline Training data release date: May 1st, 2022 Evaluation data release date: June 1st, 2022 Predictions submission deadline: 11:59, June 8th, 2022 Rankings release date: July 1st, 2022 System description paper submission deadline: 11:59 September 1st, 2022 Best system description paper announced: October 1st, 2022 Workshop: November 7th & 8th, 2022, Venice, Italy All deadlines are in UTC -12h timezone (anywhere on planet earth).
