Call for Papers - SUMAC 2021
The 3rd workshop on Structuring and Understanding of Multimedia heritAge Contents
In conjunction with ACM Multimedia 2021, 20 - 24 October 2020, Chengdu, China
Workshop: https://sumac-workshops.github.io/2021/
Conference: https://2021.acmmm.org
Aims and scope
The digitization of large quantities of analogue data and the massive production of born-digital
documents for many years now provide us with large volumes of varied multimedia data
(images, maps, text, video, multi-sensor data, etc.), an important feature of which is that they
are cross-domain. "Cross-domain" reflects the fact that these data may have been acquired
in very different conditions: different acquisition systems, times and points of view. These
data represent an extremely rich heritage that can be exploited in a wide variety of fields, from
Social Sciences and Humanities to land use and territorial policies, including smart city, urban
planning, smart tourism and culture, creative media and entertainment. In terms of research
in computer science, they address challenging problems related to the diversity and volume
of the media across time, the variety of content descriptors (potentially including the time
dimension), the veracity of the data, and the different user needs with respect to engaging with
this rich material and the extraction of value out of the data. These challenges are reflected
in various research topics such as multimodal and mixed media search, automatic content
analysis, multimedia linking and recommendation, and big data analysis and visualization,
where scientific bottlenecks may be exacerbated by the time dimension, which also provides
topics of interest such as multimodal time series analysis.
The objective of the third edition of this workshop is to present and discuss the latest and
most significant trends in the analysis, structuring and understanding of multimedia contents
dedicated to the valorization of heritage, with the emphasis on enabling access to the big
data of the past. We welcome research contributions for the following (but not limited to) topics:
* Multimedia and cross-domain data interlinking and recommendation
* Dating and spatialization of historical data
* Mixed media data access and indexing
* Deep learning in adverse conditions (transfer learning, learning with side information,etc.)
* Multi-modal time series analysis, evolution modeling
* Multi-modal & multi-temporal data rendering
* Heritage - Building Information Modeling, Art
* HCI / Interfaces for large-scale datasets
* Smart digitization of massive quantities of data
* Bench-marking, Open Data Movement
* Generative modeling of cultural heritage
Important dates
* Paper submission: 30 July 2021 (11:59 p.m. AoE)
* Author acceptance notification: 26 August 2021
* Camera-Ready: 2 September 2021
* Workshop date: 20 or 24 October 2021 (TBA)
Submission guidelines

Dear all,
It is a great pleasure to invite you to the “Infrastructural Interventions<https://cistudies.org/events/digital-humanities-critical-infrastructure-stu…>” workshop (21 and 22 June 2021) organised by King’s Digital Lab, King’s Department of Digital Humanities, and the Critical Infrastructures Studies Collective (cistudies.org<http://cistudies.org>). The first event in the Digital Humanities & Critical Infrastructure Studies Workshop Series brings together leading thinkers in Digital Humanities and Social Sciences to critically interrogate the nature and fragility of infrastructure at individual, social, and planetary scales and reconfigure their nature from social justice, feminist and decolonial perspectives. The following questions will guide us through the discussion: How, precisely, did our contemporary digital infrastructure evolve? How are different actors challenging, contesting and creating alternatives to official data infrastructures? How can DH infrastructure be informed by an analysis of power—and even actively challenge existing power imbalances? How might DH infrastructure reject the hierarchical and other divisions that currently structure DH work? How can digital humanists reimagine and rebuild the world differently through infrastructure?
Registration for this event is open through the Eventbrite here<https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/infrastructural-interventions-tickets-152839…>.
The workshop will take place on the Microsoft Teams platform. (How to join a Teams meeting.<https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/join-a-teams-meeting-078e9868-f1…>) If you have any questions about the event, please don’t hesitate to contact the CIS collective: contact(a)cistudies.org<mailto:contact@cistudies.org>.
Please see the program and abstracts on the Critical Infrastructures Studies.org <https://cistudies.org/events/digital-humanities-critical-infrastructure-stu…> website. Check out also a new YouTube channel of CIstudies.org Initiative<https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUHRYYlVX7SpJe8zXqtdkQg/featured>! In the coming weeks, we will be publishing videos of infrastructure-focused Digital Humanities projects.
I’m looking forward to seeing you at the event!

Dear colleagues,
You are invited to attend the first binational symposium of United Fronteras focused on Digital Humanities in the Mexico-U.S. borderlands. The event will take place from June 2 to 4, 2021. The symposium aims to understand the current state of digital humanities in this binational region and to amplify the outstanding work carried out on and around the Mexico-U.S. border before and after its geopolitical division using digital technologies with a humanistic lens based in this region.
On the last day, June 4, you are invited to participate in the Datathon where we will be updating the current data of the projects and material collected in the border registry of phase one of United Fronteras, and adding recent projects that should be part of this record. There will be prizes during the event.

Dr Paul Fisher Davies gained his Ph.D. in 2017 in the school of English at University of Sussex. His monograph Comics as Communication: A Functional Approach was published by Palgrave in December 2019. He has published in Studies in Comics, the Journal of Graphic Novels and Comics, and The Comics Grid amongst others, including academic work in comics form. He currently teaches English Language at East Sussex College in Lewes, UK.

Hi!
I'd like to get in touch with the DH lusophone community beyond Brazil. Any person from Portugal, lusophone Africa, etc in this list? Portuguese-speaking diasporas could also help.
Thanks in advance.
