Liebe AG Mitglieder, ein Ko-Organisator der German-Czech DH Conference 2025 hat Jonas und mich anlässlich unseres digitalen Lunchtalks diese Woche in Graz darauf hingewiesen, dass der cfp mit Schwerpunkt "Multilingual DH" noch läuft und gerne Werbung gemacht werden soll: Konferenztitel: Standardized multilingualism in the digital humanities? Opportunities and risks of AI-supported automation Anlass/Datum: German-Czech DH-Conference, 20-21 February 2025, Prague Link zum cfp: https://dhmuc.hypotheses.org/3356 Abstract: The availability of AI-driven translation technology is changing the way the humanities work on a practical level. Text sources in different languages, whether scientific literature or primary sources, have become widely available not only by digitization but also by automated translation. The implications that the availability and adoption of translation technologies will have for the scientific practice in the humanities shall be discussed in the German-Czech-DH-Conference on February, 20th-21st 2025 in Prague. The conference is primarily focused on history and linguistics. But we invite contributions from any field, related to one of the following questions: 1. What is the historical and present-day relevance of national languages and language borders in the practice of the humanities? 2. What can we learn from the historical-political conditions for the standardization of languages, especially in science? 3. What do AI-supported translation technologies achieve in the practice of science and how can the historical sciences in particular benefit from them? What are the limitations and risks involved? 4. What is the state of the enrichment of language data across language boundaries? Do language boundaries play any role at all in automated semantic processes? 5. What is the history of the reception of translations, especially in the German-Czech or Central European context? The Conference language will be English. Contributions to these sections can be submitted in the form of an abstract. The abstract should not exceed 1000 words and should be sent by December 15th, 2024 by email to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>. See Call for Papers<https://dhmuc.hypotheses.org/files/2024/11/CfP_DH-Mehrsprachigkeit_en_extended_Deadline.pdf> for the detailed announcement.
