Workshop Automated Handwritten Text Recognition Transkribus
by Joris van Zundert 18 Nov '15

18 Nov '15

Dear list members, Apologies for possible cross posting. I'd thought colleagues in the field might be interested in the following workshop announcement. All the best --Joris van Zundert ==== WORKSHOP AUTOMATED HANDWRITTEN TEXT RECOGNITION TRANSKRIBUS AND THE ‘RESOLUTIONS OF THE DUTCH STATES-GENERAL’ (Den Haag, Netherlands, 25 November 2015) The workshop introduces Transkribus and is organized by Huygens ING, INL and the tranScriptorium project. Transkribus is developed in the EU funded project tranScriptorium, a research infrastructure for transcribing and automated text recognition of historical documents. Automated recognition of handwritten documents (HTR) is no longer wishful thinking but a real option. Whether it concerns medieval codices or modern archival documents, HTR is not only able to create an automated transcription, it also offers significantly improved search capabilities through new search methods (“keyword spotting”). Until recently, intensive efforts by specialized researchers have been the only way to make the content of the resolutions accessible. In the new project, alternative ways to make the content of the resolutions accessible for researchers and other users are explored. Huygens-ING carries out a number of pilot projects to clarify to which extent advanced ICT techniques and tools can reduce the dependency on manual labor. Working with HTR is one of these pilots. The workshop shows preliminary results of a training set of the 17th century resolutions of the Dutch Staten-Generaal (Estates General), of automated structuring of printed 18th century resolutions. Moreover, it also offers a hands-on Transkribus session for the participants. The transcripts of the *Resolutions of the States-General *consist of 200.000 pages of handwritten text that not only reflect the invention and early development of the new Dutch State, but also are a witness of the daily political activities of the “Hoogmogende Heren”. *Programme* Automated Handwritten Text Recognition – Transkribus and the project ‘Resolutions of the Dutch States-General’. Friday, 27 November 2015 The Hague. - 10.30-12.15 Lectures – This session offers an insight into the technology behind Handwritten Text Recognition (HTR), introduces the Transkribus platform and will reveal the results of HTR applied to the resolutions of the Dutch Staten-Generaal.

CFP: Digital Approaches and the Ancient World
by Gabriel BODARD 17 Nov '15

17 Nov '15

Dear Medievalists, Please see the call for papers below, in which the "ancient world" is defined both geographically and chronoligically more widely than the classical Mediterranean, and so explicitly overlaps with what is generally considered mediaeval. In any case, as I@m sure you realize, a great many digital humanities methods applied to classical and mediaeval topics are likely to be of broad mutual interest. I hope therefore some of you might consider submitting to this issue. Please circulate this call widely. Many thanks, Gabby ======================================= *Digital Approaches and the Ancient World* A themed issue of the Bulletin of the Institute of Classical Studies Editors: Gabriel Bodard (University of London) gabriel.bodard(a)sas.ac.uk Yanne Broux (KU Leuven) yanne.broux(a)arts.kuleuven.be Ségolène Tarte (University of Oxford) segolene.tarte(a)oerc.ox.ac.uk Call for papers: We invite colleagues all around the world and at all stages of their careers to submit papers on the topic of “Digital Approaches and the Ancient World” to a themed issue of the Bulletin of the Institute of Classical Studies. The topic is to be construed as widely as possible, to include not only the history, archaeology, language, literature and thought of the ancient and late antique Mediterranean world, but also of antiquity more widely, potentially including, for example, South and East Asian, Sub-Saharan African or Pre-Columbian American history. Digital approaches may also vary widely, to include methodologies from the digital humanities and information studies, quantitative methods from the hard sciences, or other innovative and transdisciplinary themes. Papers will be fully peer reviewed and selected for inclusion based not only on their research quality and significance, but especially on their ability to engage profoundly both with classics/history academic readers, and scholars from digital or informatic disciplines. We are keen to see papers that clearly lay out their disciplinary and interdisciplinary methodological approaches, and present and interpret the full range of scholarly and practical outcomes of their research. We encourage the use of and direct reference to open online datasets in your papers. BICS is not currently an open access publication, but self-archiving of pre-press papers is permitted, and the editors believe in the transparency and accountability that comes with basing scientific work on open data. To submit an article to this themed issue, please send your full paper of 4,000–8,000 words in Microsoft Word doc, docx or rtf format, to <gabriel.bodard(a)sas.ac.uk>, along with a 150 word abstract, by January 31, 2016. You do not need to follow BICS style for the initial submission, but please note that the final version of accepted articles will need to be formatted to adhere to our style guide (http://www.icls.sas.ac.uk/sites/default/files/files/STYLE-V15.pdf). If you have any questions about this issue, please feel free to contact any of the editors informally. -- Dr Gabriel BODARD Reader in Digital Classics Institute of Classical Studies University of London Senate House Malet Street London WC1E 7HU E: Gabriel.bodard(a)sas.ac.uk T: +44 (0)20 78628752 http://digitalclassicist.org/
