Initiation à la lemmatisation des textes médiévaux - Paris - 17 juin 2019

*Cosme^2 (Consortium Sources Médiévales 2)* *Groupe de travail « Lemmes » - Atelier 4* ** *Journée d’initiation à la lemmatisation des textes médiévaux* ** *lundi 17 juin 2019 - 9h30-18h* *Paris - IRHT - Salle Jeanne Vielliard - **40 avenue d’Iéna* <https://www.google.fr/maps/place/IRHT+-+Institut+de+la+recherche+et+d'histoires+des+textes/@48.8659918,2.2947109,15z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x222e82b445cb4fbc!8m2!3d48.8659918!4d2.2947109>*(métro Iéna)* En plus d’être flexionnelles, les langues employées dans l’Occident médiéval (latin et langues vernaculaires) se caractérisent par une très grande variation orthographique. La lemmatisation, c’est-à-dire le regroupement des différentes formes d’un mot sous leur lemme, se trouve ainsi être une opération fondamentale aux études des textes, notamment celles utilisant des procédures de recherche formalisées et assistées informatiquement. Dans le contexte actuel de multiplication des numérisations des textes médiévaux, plusieursoutils et paramètres de lemmatisation ont vu le jour et continuent d’être développés.De l’aide à la traduction jusqu’à la préparation aux analyses statistiques et sémantiques des larges corpus, ces outils demeurent, cependant, pas ou peu connus des médiévistes. L’objectif de cette journée est de proposer une introduction à la lemmatisation et la découverte de quelques outils-clé à partir d’exercices pratiques. Elle vise aussi à faire se rencontrer les concepteurs d’applications et leurs utilisateurs potentiels. Cette initiation s’adresse à tous les intéressés : étudiants, doctorants, ingénieurs, chercheurs et enseignants-chercheurs. Pour que cette initiation s’accompagne d’une mise en pratique réelle, le nombre des participants est limité à 15. La participation est gratuite, mais devra obligatoirement faire l’objet d’une demande motivée, pour que la limite fixée à 15 participants puisse être vérifiée. La prise en charge des frais de transport, voire de logement (une nuitée), est possible dans la mesure des crédits disponibles, à condition d’en faire la demande explicite au moment de la candidature. L'ordre des candidatures sera pris en compte en cas de besoin. Pour faire acte de candidature, adressez par courriel une *demande motivée* à eliana.magnani(a)univ-paris1.fr <mailto:eliana.magnani@univ-paris1.fr>avant le *15 mai 2019*, en précisant vos nom, prénom, institution de rattachement, thème de recherche, courriel et, le cas échéant, les besoins de prise en charge (transport, nuitée).

DH2019 workshops - Call for participation workshop "Accelerating DH Education"
by Elli Bleeker 27 Mar '19

27 Mar '19

Dear list, ** Usual apologies for cross-posting apply ** We are pleased to invite submissions for lightning talk presentations (5 minutes) at the half-day workshop "Accelerating DH Education" taking place *Monday 8th July from 9am to 1pm* at DH2019 in Utrecht. The workshop offers an exceptional platform for communication between DH practitioners, specialists in educational sciences and digital innovation strategists. Among its organisers are people connected to several Dutch universities and research institutions alongside nationwide initiatives SURF (the collaborative ICT organisation for Dutch education and research) and the VSNU (the Dutch Association of Universities) that together in 2018 initiated the national "Acceleration plan educational innovation with ICT". This combination of DH experts and educational specialists presents a unique opportunity to consider a shared strategic agenda for innovation in DH education. The workshop is organised primarily around two strands of discussion: (1) *Open Education*. Open Education can be defined in multiple ways, we will zoom in on the aspects that could be of relevance to Digital Humanities education, and to map and imagine its implications for accessible, inclusive and sustainable approaches to its delivery. (2) *Shared educational agendas and initiatives*. How can we move towards more cooperative and evidence-based approaches to teaching and training in DH across the community? What are the key desiderata for educational innovation in DH? This strand will feature both national agendas and international initiatives including the #dariahTeach platform. We welcome 200-300 word proposals from anyone involved or interested in the creation and usage of educational resources in DH. Submissions can be sent via the online submission form<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSehm6IWZ3LoXbc6ZLhlAGxq-0C84sSahOX…>. The deadline for submission is *Monday 6th May* at midnight (CET). Applicants will be notified of acceptance by the end of May. Please note that the Early Bird Registration for the ADHO conference<https://dh2019.adho.org/registration/> is valid until the 29th of March. Looking forward to seeing you in Utrecht this year!
