SUMAC 2022
The 4th workshop on Structuring and Understanding of Multimedia heritAge Contents
10 or 14 October 2021 (TBA)
Lisbon, Portugal (attendance mode TBA)
In conjunction with ACM Multimedia 2022
Workshop: https://sumac-workshops.github.io/2022/
Conference: https://2022.acmmm.org
Submission Portal: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sumac2022
Deadline: July 4, 2022 (11:59 p.m. AoE)
Aims and scope
The digitisation 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, 3D objects, 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 (e.g. a 1962 postcard from the Arc de Triomphe vs. a recent street-view acquisition by mobile mapping of the same monument). 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 and artificial intelligence, they address challenging problems related to the diversity, specificity and volume of the media, 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 visualisation 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 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 search, interlinking and recommendation• Dating and spatialization of historical data
* Mixed media data access and indexing
* Multi-modal deep learning
* Deep learning in adverse conditions (transfer learning, learning with side information, etc.)
* Multi-modal time series analysis, evolution modelling
* Multi-modal & multi-temporal data rendering
* Heritage - Building Information Modelling, Art Virtualisation
* HCI / Interfaces for large-scale datasets
* Smart digitisation of massive quantities of data
* Bench-marking, Open Data Movement
* Generative modelling of cultural heritage

Third workshop on Resources for African Indigenous Language (RAIL)
https://bit.ly/rail2022
The South African Centre for Digital Language Resources (SADiLaR) is
organising the 3rd RAIL workshop in the field of Resources for African
Indigenous Languages. This workshop aims to bring together researchers
who are interested in showcasing their research and thereby boosting
the field of African indigenous languages. This provides an overview of
the current state-of-the-art and emphasizes availability of African
indigenous language resources, including both data and tools.
Additionally, it will allow for information sharing among researchers
interested in African indigenous languages and also start discussions
on improving the quality and availability of the resources. Many
African indigenous languages currently have no or very limited
resources available and, additionally, they are often structurally
quite different from more well-resourced languages, requiring the
development and use of specialized techniques. By bringing together
researchers from different fields (e.g., (computational) linguistics,
sociolinguistics, language technology) to discuss the development of
language resources for African indigenous languages, we hope to boost
research in this field.
The RAIL workshop is an interdisciplinary platform for researchers
working on resources (data collections, tools, etc.) specifically
targeted towards African indigenous languages. It aims to create the
conditions for the emergence of a scientific community of practice that
focuses on data, as well as tools, specifically designed for or applied
to indigenous languages found in Africa.
Suggested topics include the following:
* Digital representations of linguistic structures
* Descriptions of corpora or other data sets of African indigenous
languages
* Building resources for (under resourced) African indigenous languages
* Developing and using African indigenous languages in the digital age
* Effectiveness of digital technologies for the development of African
indigenous languages
* Revealing unknown or unpublished existing resources for African
indigenous languages
* Developing desired resources for African indigenous languages
* Improving quality, availability and accessibility of African
indigenous language resources
The 3rd RAIL workshop 2022 will be co-located with the 10th Southern
African Microlinguistics Workshop (
https://sites.google.com/nwulettere.co.za/samwop-10/home). This will be
an in-person event located in Potchefstroom, South Africa. Registration
will be free.
RAIL 2022 submission requirements:
* RAIL asks for full papers from 4 pages to 8 pages (plus more pages
for references if needed), which must strictly follow the Journal of
the Digital Humanities Association of Southern Africa style guide (
https://upjournals.up.ac.za/index.php/dhasa/libraryFiles/downloadPublic/30
).
* Accepted submissions will be published in JDHASA, the Journal of the
Digital Humanities Association of Southern Africa (
https://upjournals.up.ac.za/index.php/dhasa/).
* Papers will be double blind peer-reviewed and must be submitted
through EasyChair (https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=rail2022).

Hello all,
Apologies for X postings.
We are happy to share the recordings of the Final Research Session developed in the framework of the project: GLAM and Digital Soft Power in the Post-Pandemic World. Please, read more about the project here: datatopower.net<http://datatopower.net/>
Webinar: Urban Data Infrastructures and Digital Place-making
The webinar discussed the concept of digital soft power from the perspective of digital place-making, urban diplomacy and city branding. Exploring digital tourism, digital cultural heritage and its virtual cultural consumption, it discussed the role of digital representations, narratives and images constructed by GLAM institutions.

Datathon: Forecasting local impacts of travelling exhibitions
The Datathon discussed challenges and opportunities of urban cultural infrastructure mapping and its value for designing and mapping touring exhibitions. It presented the Local Engagement Layer of the Data To Power prototype designed in collaboration with the Science Museum Group in London and Australian Centre for the Moving Image in Melbourne.
