AVOBMAT Webinar and Collaboration Opportunities
by Róbert PÉTER 28 Jan '26

28 Jan '26

Dear All, You are kindly invited—together with your students—to attend the upcoming AVOBMAT <https://avobmat.hu/> webinar (hosted by GWDG <https://gwdg.de/>). The webinar will present AVOBMAT’s key features and use cases and will conclude with a live Q&A session. *Time:* Wednesday, 11 February, 15:00–16:30 CET *Register* here: https://events.gwdg.de/event/1361/ <https://events.gwdg.de/event/1267/> Since launching in October 2025, AVOBMAT has been used in 40 countries. Recent use in teaching and research In the last couple of months, AVOBMAT has been presented and used at several events and university courses, including: - *Print Culture and Public Spheres in Central Europe (1500–1800)* COST Action Hackathon <https://pcps-ce.eu/pcpsce-vienna-hackathon-report/> (University of Vienna) - "Multilingual Analysis and Visualization of Metadata and Texts in Central and Eastern European Literary Studies,” Digital Methods for a Comparative Study of Central European Literary History <https://ceelawl.abtk.hun-ren.hu/digital-methods/workshop-2.html> (University of Krakow) - *Emigrants’ Heritage Workshop <https://www.hungarianconservative.com/articles/diaspora/emigrants-heritage-…>* (Hungarian National Archives) - IT course <https://www.wdib.uw.edu.pl/wydzial/struktura-wydzialu/katedry/katedra-infor…> (University of Warsaw) What AVOBMAT enables We have preprocessed *5.4 billion tokens* across multiple databases and made *32 databases publicly available*. *Generative AI* and LLMs are increasingly present in teaching and research, but LLM outputs can be difficult to reproduce without careful constraints and documentation. AVOBMAT is built for *transparent, reproducible, corpus-scale analysis*. It uses transformer language models to enrich texts and metadata, enabling interactive analysis across collections—so researchers and students can focus on critical interpretation and discovery. *What sets AVOBMAT apart for DH researchers, teachers, and libraries/GLAM:* - *Ready-to-use corpora* for teaching: 32 public databases for seminar-based assignments - *Explore and share your own collections*: analyse your datasets and share private databases for collaboration - *Scale:* 5.4B tokens preprocessed across multiple databases - *Reproducible workflows*: explicit steps and documented parameters for verification and replication - *Multilingual and accessible*: *25 languages*, no programming or costly hardware required - *Extensible* by design: modular architecture with potential future integration of task-specific open-weight LLMs Try AVOBMAT with your own documents To unlock the full potential of your documents, submit an *upload request* with your preferred configuration settings. *You don’t need any programming experience*—just follow the upload steps in the Help menu or on GitHub. Sample databases and files are available in our GitHub repository <https://github.com/avobmat/general>. Feedback and collaboration Help us improve AVOBMAT. Please complete our 2–3 minute feedback <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfHKSTSZ6CI4REyONZoIcp-k3_9qJb9gZh…> form. Interested in using AVOBMAT in a course, research project, or library/GLAM workflow? Please *contact* me to discuss a collaboration. *Thank you* for your feedback. We look forward to hearing from you. Róbert Péter on behalf of the AVOBMAT Team

by Wagner, Cosima 26 Jan '26

26 Jan '26

Zur Information weitergeleitet! Viele Grüße Cosima Wagner Von: Ursula Flache <uschijstudien(a)hotmail.co.jp> Gesendet: Montag, 26. Januar 2026 17:04 An: J-STUDIEN Liste <j-studien(a)lists.fu-berlin.de> Betreff: [J-STUDIEN] CrossAsia DH Lunchtalks starting in February Dear members, Please find below the general announcment of the CrossAsia DH Lunchtalks that will start in February 2026. https://blog.crossasia.org/crossasia-dh-lunchtalks/ Originally launched between winter 2023 and spring 2024, the first DH Lunchtalk Series was warmly received by our community. Building on this success, the CrossAsia team and the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science (MPIWG) went on to co-host the international conference "Charting the European D-SEA: Digital Scholarship in East Asian Studies" in Berlin from 8-12 July 2024, bringing together around 120 participants from 19 countries and regions (read more). In light of this strong engagement and our ongoing commitment to digital scholarship, we are pleased to relaunch the Lunchtalks as an online forum where scholars can share project updates, present new tools and methods, offer methodological insights, and showcase innovative research in Digital Asian Studies. Between February and June 2026, the DH Lunchtalks will take place monthly. While the 2023-2024 season focused primarily on training in digital tools and platforms, the upcoming series will feature 60-minute lunchtime talks (including Q&A) by distinguished speakers presenting their latest digital research projects. The currently confirmed programme is as follows: February 3 Prof. Michael Yan Hon CHUNG (Hong Kong University of Science and Technology) AI for Endangered Documentary Archives: Manchu OCR March 24 Dr. Franz Xaver Erhard (Leipzig University) Getting the Lines Right: Layout Analysis as the Critical First Step for Tibetan Newspaper HTR April 21 Prof. ZHAN Beibei (Hunan University) Digital Analysis for Confucian Academies in East Asia May 21 Dr. CHEN Shih-Pei (Max Planck Institute for the History of Science) & Prof. Mariana Favila-Vázquez (CIESAS-Unidad Ciudad de México) Treating a Genre as a Knowledge System: A Digital Research Methodology for Studying Chinese Local Gazetteers June (TBC) Dr. CHOI Donghyeok (Hong Kong Baptist University) AI Methods to Construct and Analyze Large-Scale Historical Databases May or June (TBC) Dr. Rafał Jan Felbur (Heidelberg University) Born-digital Dictionary of Early Chinese Buddhist Translations All DH Lunchtalks will take place from 12:30 to 13:30 (Central European Time) and will be held online via Webex. Further details for each session, including abstracts and access links, will be announced in advance on the CrossAsia blog. The first talk, by Prof. Michael Yan Hon Chung, will be announced shortly on CrossAsia. https://blog.crossasia.org/ If you have any questions about the DH Lunchtalks, or if you are interested in proposing a future talk and sharing your own digital research, please contact Dr. Jing Hu at jing.hu(a)sbb.spk-berlin.de <mailto:[email protected]> . We look forward to welcoming many of you to the CrossAsia DH Lunchtalks 2026!

WG: Workshop at DHBenelux2025: Multilingualism meets Language Variation and Change Expression of Interest
by Wagner, Cosima 14 Apr '25

... zur Information weitergeleitet. Herzliche Grüße Cosima Wagner Von: multilingual-dh <multilingual-dh-bounces(a)lists.stanford.edu> Im Auftrag von Lorella Viola Gesendet: Dienstag, 8. April 2025 11:57 An: multilingual-dh(a)lists.stanford.edu Betreff: [multilingual-dh] Workshop at DHBenelux2025: Multilingualism meets Language Variation and Change Expression of Interest Multilingualism meets Language Variation and Change: BoF Discussions, Lightning Talks, and Networking Lorella Viola & Stefania Degaetano-Ortlieb, *Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam & Universität des Saarlandes* Emails: l.viola(a)vu.nl<mailto:[email protected]> & s.degaetano(a)mx.uni-saarland.de<mailto:[email protected]> Endorsed by ACL Special Interest Group on Language Technologies for the Socio-Economic Sciences and Humanities (SIGHUM) https://sighum.wordpress.com<https://sighum.wordpress.com/> Workshop Duration:3 hours Indication of Interest via this google form (no commitment yet, this is for organizational purposes): https://forms.gle/fdxGNCgNtzkHc74B9 ------------------------------ Introduction The production and dissemination of digital knowledge are shaped by evolving linguistic, cultural, and institutional power structures (Viola 2024). These dynamics raise critical questions about linguistic inclusivity, digital inequality, and the role of digital tools in multilingual contexts-intersecting with broader concerns such as accessibility, epistemic justice, and technological determinism. As digital environments become more globalized, understanding how multilingual knowledge is produced and represented across time raises the need to sustained, critical engagement from digital humanities (DH) scholars and practitioners. The Special Interest Group for the Humanities (SIGHUM, https://sighum.wordpress.com/ ) has long been committed to exploring these issues by fostering collaborations and providing a platform for dialogue among DH practitioners and scholars. This workshop will create an interactive and collaborative space to share research, tools, and practices across DH fields dealing with multilingual productions. The workshop will feature a dynamic mix of Birds of a Feather (BoF) discussions, lightning talks, and networking activities. Participants will reflect on key challenges in multilingual approaches to language variation and change showcasing projects, sharing experiences, presenting their work, and fostering future collaborations. This workshop will: 1. Facilitate critical discussions on the challenges and opportunities of multilingualism and language variation and change. 2. Highlight ongoing research, tools, and projects that address linguistic diversity and inclusivity in digital spaces. 3. Connect researchers, developers, and practitioners working on multilingual DH and knowledge production. 4. Foster collaborative opportunities and strengthen networks across institutions and disciplines. 5. Identify actionable priorities and strategies for addressing multilingual barriers in DH research and practice.

WG: [DHSI] CFP for The De Gruyter Handbook of Feminist Digital Scholarship
by Wagner, Cosima 14 Apr '25

14 Apr '25

Liebe alle, zur Information weitergeleitet… Zwar nicht direkt auf multilingual DH bezogen, aber vielleicht trotzdem von Interesse?! Herzliche Grüße Cosima Von: Institute <institute-bounces(a)lists.uvic.ca> Im Auftrag von Kim Knight Gesendet: Freitag, 11. April 2025 01:19 An: Institute(a)lists.uvic.ca Betreff: [DHSI] CFP for The De Gruyter Handbook of Feminist Digital Scholarship We hope this email finds you as well as can be expected given current circumstances. Apologies for cross-posting! We have just launched the CFP for a new edited collection that we are excited to be working on, The DeGruyter Handbook of Feminist Digital Scholarship: DS/DH at the Kitchen Table. This collection will bring together emerging and established feminist scholars and practitioners in the fields of digital scholarship, digital humanities (DH), and digital studies (DS) to examine the myriad ways in which digital scholarly work takes shape in academic and activist spaces. The objective of this collection is to draw attention to the way politics, ethics, and community can inform the development of digital research. We start with the metaphor of the kitchen table to recognize the sometimes informal spaces where this important work happens, the networks of kinship and care that sustain and drive that work, and the imperatives of these efforts, which frequently run counter to time and capital-based demands needed for promotion and tenure at academic institutions, especially in the Global North. We hope to draw attention to the valuable, but usually marginal and little recognized work that is poorly supported by academia and in the process hope to uplift and make visible the invisible labor, the extraordinary support networks, the small or “poor DH” that may have greater impact on their communities than the most prestigious and well-funded projects that are recognized as DH. The kitchen table is an informal space around which people gather to nourish themselves and others, coordinate plans for engagements in more formal spaces, build and create from supplies on hand, and do the work needed to sustain ourselves and our communities. It is a grounding space where folks plug in as needed, knowing there is always room for them when they return. You can find the full CFP here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lGQns_qTSMQbc0pEkUphXgl5AIDQTXKLIp7wwsa… 250-word abstracts and short professional bios are due by May 1, 2025 via the link in the CFP.
