AI Collaboration with MIT engineer-led educational organization

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. Hello all, I am Haripriya Mehta, an MIT alum, co-founder of MehtA+<https://mehtaplustutoring.com/>, based in the US and head instructor of AI/Machine Learning Research bootcamp. For the past several summers, we have successfully taught 75+ high school students, who have applied advanced AI/machine learning techniques to the digital humanities and the sciences, completing projects independently and with universities such as Northeastern University<https://wwp.northeastern.edu/blog/machine-learning/>, Williams College, Singapore Institute of Technology and University of Bologna, Italy. Examples of past projects<https://github.com/MehtaPlusTutoring/studentprojects/tree/main/aimlresearch…> include improving upon a Greek lemmatizer, building a better search function for an art museum, dating an Italian philosopher's texts using handwriting recognition, classifying whether a patient has melanoma using images of skin lesions, charting the evolution of the word "que" in the Spanish language and determining the author of disputed Federalist papers. For this upcoming summer, we are looking to partner up with scholars (professors/PhD students/postdocs) in the humanities/sciences/engineering in need of help in applying AI techniques to their work. Our staff will mentor students on computational aspects of the project, and the scholar will volunteer their time to provide datasets and domain knowledge that will help students work on the project. Expected time commitment would be ~2-4 hours during the summer. Projects that are of a predictive/classification nature, and that may involve natural language processing or image recognition are ideal for this camp. If there are other computational projects (app development/web development, etc.) that you would like our students' help with or if you are unsure if AI/machine learning techniques that we teach in our camp will be applicable to your work, please still feel free to reach out! Our students have created a mobile app for an educational startup, an educational website for a kidney transplant surgeon and a data visualization for the University of Buffalo SUNY's Marianne Moore Digital Archive. If you know anyone who would be interested in such a collaboration, please feel free to forward this email. I would be happy to hop on a Zoom call with you if you would like to discuss this more. Thanks. Sincerely, Haripriya Mehta Co-founder of MehtA+ hpm(a)mehtaplustutoring.com<mailto:hpm@mehtaplustutoring.com>

Call for participation: Shared Task on Word Embedding Evaluation for Ancient and Historical Languages (SIGTYP @ EACL)
by Oksana Dereza 10 Nov '23

10 Nov '23

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, [Apologies for cross-posting] In 2024, SIGTYP is hosting a Shared Task on Word Embedding Evaluation for Ancient and Historical Languages: https://sigtyp.github.io/st2024.html The workshop will be co-located with EACL. Summary In recent years, sets of downstream tasks called benchmarks have become a very popular, if not default, method to evaluate general-purpose word and sentence embeddings. Starting with decaNLP (McCann et al., 2018) and SentEval (Conneau & Kiela, 2018), multitask benchmarks for NLU keep appearing and improving every year. However, even the largest multilingual benchmarks, such as XGLUE, XTREME, XTREME-R or XTREME-UP (Hu et al., 2020; Liang et al., 2020; Ruder et al., 2021, 2023), only include modern languages. When it comes to ancient and historical languages, scholars mostly adapt/translate intrinsic evaluation datasets from modern languages or create their own diagnostic tests. We argue that there is a need for a universal evaluation benchmark for embeddings learned from ancient and historical language data and view this shared task as a proving ground for it. The shared task involves solving the following problems for 12+ ancient and historical languages that belong to 4 language families and use 6 different scripts. Participants will be invited to describe their system in a paper for the SIGTYP workshop proceedings. The task organisers will write an overview paper that describes the task and summarises the different approaches taken, and analyses their results. Subtasks For subtask A, participants are not allowed to use any additional data; however, they can reduce and balance provided training datasets if they see fit. For subtask B, participants are allowed to use any additional data in any language, including pre-trained embeddings and LLMs. A. Constrained 1. POS-tagging 2. Full morphological annotation 3. Lemmatisation B. Unconstrained 1. POS-tagging 2. Full morphological annotation 3. Lemmatisation 4. Filling the gaps * Word-level * Character-level Data For tasks 1-3, we use Universal Dependencies v. 2.12 data (Zeman et al., 2023) in 11 ancient and historical languages, complemented by 5 Old Hungarian codices from the MGTSZ website (HAS Research Institute for Linguistics, 2018) that are annotated to the same standard as the corpora available through UD. For task 4, we add historical Irish data from CELT (Ó Corráin et al., 1997), Corpas Stairiúil na Gaeilge (Acadamh Ríoga na hÉireann, 2017), and digital editions of the St. Gall glosses (Bauer et al., 2017) and the Würzburg glosses (Doyle, 2018) as a case study of how performance may vary on different historical stages of the same language. We set the upper temporal boundary to 1700 CE and do not include texts created later than this date in our dataset. List of languages: * Ancient Greek * Ancient Hebrew * Classical Chinese * Coptic * Gothic * Classical, Late & Medieval Latin * Medieval Icelandic * Old Church Slavonic * Old East Slavic * Old French * Old Hungarian * Old, Middle & Early Modern Irish * Vedic Sanskrit Important dates 05 Nov 2023: Release of training and validation data 02 Jan 2024: Release of test data 08 Jan 2024: Submission of the systems 13 Jan 2024: Notification of results 20 Jan 2024: Submission of shared task papers 27 Jan 2024: Notification of acceptance to authors 03 Feb 2024: Camera-ready 15 Mar 2024: Video recordings due 21/22 Mar 2024: SIGTYP workshop Important links * Registration form<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdINgMfzzZGIZ-uBVQhvyndB6yeaaj-wT7…> * Data + detailed description: https://github.com/sigtyp/ST2024 Task organisers * Oksana Dereza, Insight SFI Research Centre for Data Analytics, Data Science Institute, University of Galway * Priya Rani, SFI Centre for Research and Training in AI, Data Science Institute, University of Galway * Atul Kr.

Bonjour à tous, Les doctorants du Centre Jean-Mabillon (École nationale des chartes - PSL) organisent une journée d’étude sur le thème « Source, poison ou accident : comprendre le document dans les sciences historiques » le jeudi 19 octobre 2023 au Campus Condorcet. Notre objectif est d’aborder les sources comme objet à part entière et d’étudier leur appropriation pour la recherche dans les sciences historiques. Nous nous concentrerons en partie sur les biais - notamment numériques - liés à cette démarche d'appropriation. Le programme et les informations pratiques sont accessibles au lien suivant : https://www.chartes.psl.eu/fr/source-poison-accident Bien cordialement, Virgile Reignier
