Call for Papers - First International Workshop on Multisensory Data & Knowledge
by Albert Meroño Peñuela 19 Mar '21

19 Mar '21

Call for Papers First International Workshop on Multisensory Data & Knowledge in conjunction with LDK 2021 https://odeuropa.github.io/mdk21/ <https://odeuropa.github.io/mdk21/> Important dates: Workshop papers submissions - April 23, 2021 - 23:59 AOE Notification - May 14, 2021 Camera Ready Submission - June 14, 2021 Workshop Day - September 1, 2021 About: Our senses are the gateways to our memories and emotions. However, they are under-represented in language technology and semantic web research. In this workshop, two recently awarded H2020 projects, Odeuropa and Polifonia, are teaming up to advance our understanding of how smells and music are represented in texts and structured data. The topics we want to address revolve around extracting references to smells, music, context, and visual information from text as well as relevant data describing their cultural, historical and political context, and model them in the form of interlinked knowledge graphs. This research has a strong interdisciplinary character, hence the workshop has the potential to attract researchers from diverse disciplines from both social sciences and humanities and computer science. Its potential impact is significant to many application areas including: preservation and valorisation of cultural heritage, data-driven policy making in cultural heritage, urban planning, artistic performances, applications for scholars in musicology and history, applications for museums, innovation in teaching, maintenance and exploitation of large catalogues, archives and libraries. We aim at creating a reference venue where new ideas and results can be shared and lead the way towards a technological and cultural shift in how we understand and experience our cultural heritage. Topics of interest: The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Olfactory, musical and visual information extraction from text Olfactory, musical and visual knowledge representation Resources for olfactory, musical and visual knowledge Extraction of socio-cultural and historical context information from text Extraction of time, space, events, people and (musical, olfactory and visual) artifacts from text Knowledge graphs integrating olfactory, musical and visual knowledge Multilingual text corpora on musical and olfactory heritage Automatic and semi-automatic generation of language descriptions of sensory experience Methods and approaches to represent degrees of sensorial experiences (e.g. intensity, dissipation) Applications for teaching/training/valorisation of multisensory data and knowledge Submission: We welcome submissions of long and short papers covering a wide range of NLP and semantic web topics dealing with the extraction and analysis of information from multisensory data. Papers presenting collaborations among researchers with different backgrounds or from different research communities are particularly welcome. All submissions must be in PDF and written in English, single-blind and formatted in the style of the OASIcs template as the main LDK 2021 conference (see the instruction for authors). Long papers should be between 10 and 15 pages, while short papers should include 6 to 8 pages and present a more focused contribution or a position paper. The MDK 2021 proceedings will be published with CEUR-WS.org. The submission web site is https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mdk2021 <https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mdk2021> For any questions, please feel free to contact the organisers directly, or via mdk2021(a)easychair.org <mailto:mdk2021@easychair.org>.

ESU DH 2021: Announcement of dates
by Ulrike Fußbahn 09 Mar '21

09 Mar '21

11th EUROPEAN SUMMER UNIVERSITY IN DIGITAL HUMANITIES "CULTURE & TECHNOLOGY" - 3rd to 13th of August 2021 UNIVERSITY OF LEIPZIG As some may remember the 11th European Summer University in Digital Humanities “Culture & Technology” to be held last summer in Leipzig had to be postponed to 2021 because of the COVID-19 pandemic. This is to inform you that given that the DAAD has agreed to support the European Summer University again for two years, we have decided to hold ESU DH 2021 from the 3rd to 13th of August 2021 in Leipzig as promised. It will be organised together with the Forum Digital Humanities Leipzig[1] (FDHL). Although we are aware that the pandemic may hold still many challenges in store for us all, we are planning to meet with everybody in person in Leipzig. Should this not be possible we will put a plan B in place which could either mean having a hybrid event or, if the worst comes to the worst, a fully virtual one. We will just have to see what the next months bring. As in former years the Summer University is supposed to take place across 11 whole days. The intensive programme should consist of workshops, teaser sessions, public lectures, regular project presentations, a poster session and a panel discussion. At the moment a new ConfTool is being installed. All users of ESU’s 2020 ConfTool[2] as well as all the application documents submitted there in 2020 will be transferred to the new installation. As soon as the new installation is ready and we have updated ESU’s website[3] with information about the workshops which will be offered, we will come back with more information. With my very best wishes Elisabeth Burr Prof. (em.) Dr. phil. Elisabeth Burr French, Francophone and Italian Linguistics Director of the European Summer University in Digital Humanities "Culture & Technology" University of Leipzig Beethovenstr. 15 D-04107 Leipzig https://home.uni-leipzig.de/burr/ Links: ------ [1] https://fdhl.info/ [2] https://www.conftool.org/esu2020/ [3] https://esu.fdhl.info/

Survey and invitation: 'Digital Humanities and Advocacy' - UK-Ireland Digital Humanities Network workshop
by Tupman, Charlotte 02 Mar '21

02 Mar '21

Dear All, The UK-Ireland Digital Humanities Network would like to bring to your attention our second workshop, organised by Prof. Lorna Hughes and Dr Paul Gooding (University of Glasgow), on communicating the value and impact of DH in teaching, research, and infrastructure development. It will be held on Tues 16th March; full details below. All welcome! For a place at the workshop please register via EventBrite<https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/digital-humanities-and-advocacy-tickets-1396…>. We are also conducting a short survey of those working in DH in the UK or Ireland to discern gaps in capacity and training strategies, and to inform discussions around the creation of a future Association. We would love to hear your views and would be very grateful if you would consider completing our short survey<https://dariah-ireland.org/pollsurvey/index.php/1> by 15th March: many thanks indeed. We hope to see as many of you as possible for the workshop on the 16th. Please feel free to join us for all or part of the day, as your schedule allows. For full details and for future events please see our network website at https://dhnetwork.org/. Best wishes, Charlotte --- Digital Humanities and advocacy: communicating the value and impact of DH in teaching, research, and infrastructure development UK-Ireland DH Network workshop Tues 16th March, 10:00-16:00 Please register via Eventbrite<https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/digital-humanities-and-advocacy-tickets-1396…>. How should a DH Association for the UK and Ireland carry out advocacy? How can we ensure that any Association that emerges has both the authority and representation to speak on behalf of DH communities of practice? What are the entities that need expert input from the DH community, and how can the Association ensure that it informs and shapes policy and other decision making processes? The aim of this workshop is to discuss the policy areas in which DH interests need to be heard, and discuss some shared, strategic challenges where a united voice of those working in DH is needed. The workshop will explore the key issues that affect DH development in the UK and Ireland that have policy implications, areas where expert opinions and guidance may be needed, and the audiences for these views. We will focus on three key areas where advocacy is needed in DH: Research, teaching, and infrastructure. In research, these issues include the way that DH tools, methods, and outputs are assessed for national research assessment exercises and peer review of digital content, tools, methods and research outputs, and the impact of open access publishing on DH research outputs. For teaching, central issues have emerged around shared curricula and teaching assessment, especially the lessons learned from recent experimentation with online course delivery. In terms of infrastructure development, what are areas for investment that will impact the development and uptake of DH? And what can we do to effect engagement with those shaping policy regarding key infrastructure investment? Is there a need for a shared view? How can we advocate for DH, and to whom? How best can we facilitate international cooperation and collaboration: in the UK’s post-Brexit landscape, how can we stay connected despite the loss of schemes like Erasmus? How can we ensure continued UK DH involvement in H2020? And structurally, what model of DH Association in the UK and Ireland would underpin an advocacy agenda? What membership models would support an organisation that has a resonant and authoritative ‘voice’ for our field?
