Digital Classicist London Seminar 2020 Marton Ribary (Surrey) and Barbara McGillivray (Alan Turing Institute & Cambridge): “The thing is mine”: Extracting the terminology of the Roman law of “ownership” from Justinian’s Digest Friday, Jun 19, 2020, 16:30 UK time Institute of Classical Studies, University of London Online seminar, streamed live and archived at: https://youtu.be/cG8sRps1s6Q Our paper investigates the evolution of the concept of “ownership” in Roman law using computational semantic methods. The work is based on a relational database of Justinian’s Digest (533 CE) arranging more than twenty thousand text units excerpted from hundreds of otherwise lost legal works in a Python environment and shared on GitHub (mribary/pyDigest). We present a thematic tree-map of Roman law based on hierarchical clustering of sections. We use computational methods for terminology extraction and distributional semantic word representations to show how the semantic landscape associated with “ownership” changed over time. ALL WELCOME

Please forward suspicious emails to phishing(a)uleth.ca. *** With apologies for crossposting *** Dear list members, Today I would kindly like to draw your attention to the CfP below for the 3rd Twin Talks Workshop, which will take place as part of the virtual DH2020. It offers the opportunity to submit so-called "Twin Talks" and "Teach Talks" with the focus on "Collaborations in DH". For detailed questions about the workshop format and formalities please contact Steven Krauwer (CLARIN ERIC / Utrecht University; steven(a)clarin.eu) and Darja Fiser (CLARIN ERIC / SSHOC / University of Ljubljana; darja.fiser(a)ff.uni-lj.si). We are looking forward to inspiring submissions! On behalf of the program committee, Ulrike Wuttke PS: You are welcome to forward CfP to colleagues for whom this format could be of interest, or to your relevant networks. ---------- Dr Ulrike Wuttke E-Mail: wuttke(a)fh-potsdam.de Twitter: UWuttke Skype: ulrike.wuttke ORCiD: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8217-4025 FH Potsdam / University of Applied Sciences Potsdam / RDMO Kiepenheuerallee 5 14469 Potsdam [ http://www.fh-potsdam.de/ | http://www.fh-potsdam.de/ ] [ https://rdmorganiser.github.io/ | https://rdmorganiser.github.io ] Virtual Workshop Twin Talks 3: Understanding and Facilitating Collaboration in DH CALL FOR WORKSHOP PAPERS ======================== Workshop: "Twin Talks 3: Understanding and Facilitating Collaboration in DH", at the Digital Humanities Conference DH 2020, Ottawa (20-25 July 2020) - Conference website: https://dh2020.adho.org - Workshop website: https://www.clarin.eu/event/2020/twintalksdh2020 - Submission deadline: 06 July 2020 - Submission URL: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=twintalksdh2020 - Workshop date: Some time during the conference week, to be announced in the week of June 15 - More information: clarin(a)clarin.eu About the Twin Talks workshops ============================== This workshop is the third in a series where the main objective is to get a better understanding of the dynamics on the Digital Humanities work floor where humanities scholars and digital experts meet and work in tandem to solve humanities research questions. The best way to do this seems to be to give both parties the opportunity to present their achievements and to share their collaboration experiences with the audience. The insights gained should help those involved in the education of humanities scholars, professionals and technical experts alike to develop better training programmes. As the problem of cross-discipline collaboration is not new we also invite those who have relevant experience or interesting ideas about how to address this in university or other curricula to share their ideas with the audience. In earlier workshops talks were submitted and presented by a humanities researcher and a digital expert (the Twin Talks). They were asked to report on on-going or recently completed research carried out together, both from their individual perspective (either humanities research or technical), as well as on their collaboration experience. Recently we added the talks by people with experience or interesting ideas about how cross-discipline collaboration is or can be addressed in curricula or other training activities (the Teach Talks). The workshops were typically scheduled as full-day workshops, starting with an invited talk, followed by a number of 20-30 minutes presentations, and concluded with a round table discussion with all participants. About the Twin Talks workshop at DH2020 ======================================= Due to the coronavirus the DH2020 conference will go virtual, and so will the Twin Talks 3 workshop. This has consequences for the format. The duration of the virtual workshop will be 2 hours, and it will have an interactive, panel-like format, with short pitches (duration dependent on number of accepted talks). The Twin Talk pitches should briefly describe (i) the research problem addressed, (ii) its solution, including the technical aspects, (iii) a report on the collaboration experience itself, including obstacles encountered and (iv) recommendations how better training and education could help to make collaboration more efficient and effective. The Teach Talks should briefly describe (i) the collaboration settings on which they are based, (ii) the approach adopted, and (iii) recommendations. After the talks there will be a discussion with all participants to formulate the lessons learned from the presentations, and to identify further steps that could be taken. Research and teaching topics ============================ All humanities research topics in a very broad sense are welcome, where we explicitly include social sciences and cultural heritage studies. Research or teaching activities may be completed or ongoing, as long as the presentation explicitly addresses the way the humanities researcher and the digital expert have collaborated or still collaborate. Why should you submit and/or attend? ==================================== Humanities research can only benefit maximally from new developments in technology if content and digital experts team up, very similar to the hard sciences where research is done in teams working on a specific problem, where everybody brings in his/her specific content and technical expertise and skills. Co-design, co-development and co-creation are the rule rather than the exception, but very little is known about how this collaboration works in practice and how better training and education of both humanities scholars and digital experts could facilitate the way they collaborate. This is what this workshop wants to address, based on real life collaboration examples. We especially invite researchers, professionals, educators, and RI operators with a special interest in creating the conditions where humanities scholars and technical experts can fruitfully collaborate in answering humanities research questions. Submission instructions ======================= - Format: PDF. For format instructions, see: https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gu… - Size: Abstracts, size ca 250-500 words, covering research questions and answers, technical aspects and collaboration experience for Twin Talks, or relevant education experience for Teach Talks - Publication: A book of accepted abstracts will be published on the workshop website 1 week before the workshop. - Authors of accepted papers will be invited to submit an extended version of their abstract (2000-4000 words) to be published in the joint proceedings of the TwinTalks 2 and TwinTalks 3 workshops, to be published on ceur-ws.org in October 2020, submission deadline September 8. - Submission URL: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=twintalksdh2020 Important dates =============== - 06 July 2020: Submission deadline - 10 July: Notification of acceptance/rejection - Workshop date: in the week of 20-25 July - 08 September: Submission deadline for extended abstracts Programme committee and organisers ================================== This workshop is a joint initiative of CLARIN ERIC (www.clarin.eu) and DARIAH ERIC (www.dariah.eu), and is supported by the SSHOC project (https://sshopencloud.eu/) Chairs and main organisers: - Steven Krauwer (CLARIN ERIC / Utrecht University; steven(a)clarin.eu) - Darja Fiser (CLARIN ERIC / SSHOC / University of Ljubljana; darja.fiser(a)ff.uni-lj.si) Members: - Bente Maegaard (CLARIN ERIC / University of Copenhagen, Denmark) - Eleni Gouli (Academy of Athens, Greece) - Franciska de Jong (CLARIN ERIC / SSHOC / Utrecht University, Netherlands) - Frank Fischer (DARIAH ERIC / SSHOC / Higher School of Economics, Moscow) - Frank Uiterwaal (EHRI / NIOD - KNAW, Netherlands) - Jennifer Edmond (DARIAH ERIC / SSHOC / Trinity College Dublin, Ireland) - Koenraad De Smedt (University of Bergen, Norway / CLARINO) - Krister Lindén (University of Helsinki, Finland / FIN-CLARIN) - Maciej Maryl (Polish Academy of Sciences, Poland) - Maria Gavrilidou (SSHOC / ILSP - Athena RC, Athens, Greece) - Radim Hladik (Academy of Sciences, Czech Republic) - Ulrike Wuttke (University of Applied Sciences Potsdam, Germany / RDMO)

New style ‘factoid’ prosopographies like the Prosopography of the Byzantine World offer the potential for new analyses and access to data. This paper examines that evolution drawing on my own digital prosopography of Socrates Scholasticus’ Ecclesiastical History. It explores decisions taken in modern prosopographies and their alternatives. In particular it looks at options around implication and aggregation, for deeper analysis of relationship information, and specific issues in Socrates’ text itself.

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. Please forward suspicious emails to phishing(a)uleth.ca. Dear digital medievalists, I am very pleased to announce a new master's degree in Digital and Public Humanities at Ca' Foscari University of Venice. This two-year Masters programme combines the theories and practices established in the humanities with learning new digital tools, platforms and applications used to research, archive, present and publish in the creative and cultural sectors. This programme explores public engagement with digital humanities and offers graduates the opportunities to learn the skills and knowledge required to pursue careers in a wide range of areas, including the cultural and creative sectors, education, libraries and archives, information technology and service related organisations. All classes are taught in English. Ca’ Foscari has now established the Venice Centre for Digital and Public Humanities (VeDPH)<https://www.unive.it/vedph> - inaugurated one year ago today - which has many research activities relating to public engagement with the humanities and digital technologies. This research informs the teaching on this Masters programme with VeDPH academics teaching and working closely with students. Many projects have affiliations to cultural organisations in Venice and throughout Italy. The intersection of art and science and engagement with the public around digital humanities is central to the theme of this masters programme. Working with local Venetian cultural organisations, researchers and academics in the Venice Digital and Public Humanities Centre (VeDPH), and Science Gallery Venice, a specialised programme of courses has been designed to explore all aspects of digital and public humanities. This Master’s programme offers a comprehensive exploration of the different tools and methods used to engage public audiences around culture, history, critical thinking, visual arts, literature, archaeology, languages, technology, and the creative economy. Courses include: public and digital history, digital scholarly editing and analysis of ancient, medieval and modern texts, digital manuscript and archival studies, digital and technical art history, public art and digitisation practices, heritage, ethics and political archaeology, database technologies, information visualisation, data management and legal issues, design thinking, web and user experience design, and creative entrepreneurship. Master’s home page: unive.it/degree/fm11<http://unive.it/degree/fm11> Useful information for the interested students. Pre-enrolment for the admissions test will open 11th June until 12pm until 31th July 2020. The admissions test will take place remotely on Friday 7th August 2020.

Digital Classicist London Seminar 2020 Thea Sommerschield (Oxford), PYTHIA: a deep neural network model for the automatic restoration of ancient Greek inscriptions Fri, Jun 5, 2020, 17:30 (UK time) Institute of Classical Studies, University of London Online seminar, streamed live and archived at: https://youtu.be/nKSfzHYmLtQ Ancient History relies on Epigraphy, the study of ancient inscribed texts (called "inscriptions"), for evidence of the recorded past. However, inscriptions are often damaged over the centuries, and illegible parts of the text must be restored by epigraphists. PYTHIA is the first ancient text restoration model that recovers missing characters from a damaged text input using deep neural networks. Its architecture is carefully designed to handle long-term context information, and deal efficiently with missing or corrupted character and word representations. I will present this research, give examples of PYTHIA at work, and demonstrate how to use the model for personal research.
