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.

Please forward suspicious emails to phishing(a)uleth.ca. (With apologies for cross-posting) Dear all, three fully-funded PhD positions are now open at the Venice Centre for Digital and Plublic Humanities of Ca' Foscari University, starting in September 2020. For the first position, medieval Italian studies are perfectly fit; also, medieval history is fit for the third position: only the second position the filed is restricted to the Ancient world (though projects that intersect Classics and Medieval studies would be in-topic). All positions have a "digital and public humanities" component. The specific humanistic field of the three positions is: 1. position, "Italian Studies" (deadline May 27); 2. position, "Ancient Heritage Studies" (deadline May 27); 3. position, "Digital and/or Public Humanities and History"(deadline June 16). Details are in https://www.unive.it/data/33113/2/40334 All best, Paolo Monella Visiting scholar, Venice Centre for Digital and Plublic Humanities

Please forward suspicious emails to phishing(a)uleth.ca. Hello All, May I give a shoutout to Lisa Fagin Davis and recommend her webinar, ‘Fragments and Fragmentology in the 21st Century’? I was late to the party and so missed registration but caught it over on YouTube https://youtu.be/JQ-XGFZolF8. It’s a real winner: informative, engaging, generous with knowledge. The Q&A, curated by Ben Albritton, added another exciting dimension. Really, it’s scintillating and Elaine Treharne, Ben Albritton and the team at Stanford Text Technologies deserve a loud <Gaudete>.

KASSIA: INTERTEXTUAL STUDY
by ELISABETTA CORSI 09 May '20

09 May '20

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. Good morning, I'm Elisabetta Corsi, student enrolled in the third year of the Degree Course in Literary and Philosophical Studies (Classical Literature) at the University of Siena. In the second part of my thesis, I intend to develop a commentary on the Canon for the Rest of the Dead of the Byzantine Poetess Kassia (9th century). In particular, I would like to highlight the references to Sacred Scripture and Patristics that could be found in the Canon. In an attempt to pursue as much precision as possible within the work, I would like to carry out an intertextual research (through the most relevant lemmas and locutions of the hymn), in order to make clear the relationship that the poetess establishes - consciously or not - with the Scriptural and Patristic texts, so as to draw some possible conclusions on the way in which the poetess carries out the themes of death and Last Judgement. Therefore, I would ask if there were any digital tools (such as corpora or repertories or, maybe, ontologies) that could allow me to carry out the research I have presented. Kind regards, Elisabetta Corsi.
