by Francesca Giovannetti 21 Jun '21

21 Jun '21

The Force11 Working Group Reimagining Educational Practices for Open (REPO) will be hosting its second webinar on Jun 30, 2021 at 13:00 UTC <https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/meetingdetails.html?year=2021&month=…> . *Community Open Principles: Before, During and After the Global Pandemic* Dr. Ana Persic, UNESCO, Dr. Arianna Becerril García, AmeliCA, Dr. Johanna Havemann, Open Science MOOC, Osman Aldirdiri, AfricArXiv When we talk about Open (Open Science, Open Data, Open Access) what do we mean? How can we navigate the different definitions of what it means to be a community and to be Open? How do we engage with communities and train members around Open? What evidence are we using of how we are addressing Open? How can we be more inclusive and align our Open principles to foster norms, incentives, and recognition? Have our understandings around Open shifted during the pandemic? This online webinar will address these questions via the experiences of invited open science communities, how they have designed and applied their open (science) principles before and during the pandemic, particularly with regard to outreach and training, while also looking out at the horizon, at a future beyond the pandemic. The webinar aims to include open (science) perspectives from a diverse group of communities, learn from their approaches, how they have evolved, and identify possible next steps that all, in our global community can consider.

Second Call for Papers: The 5th Joint SIGHUM Workshop on Computational Linguistics for Cultural Heritage, Social Sciences, Humanities and Literature
by Nils Reiter 11 Jun '21

11 Jun '21

LaTeCH-CLfL 2021: The 5th Joint SIGHUM Workshop on Computational Linguistics for Cultural Heritage, Social Sciences, Humanities and Literature to be held on-line on 11 November 2021 in conjunction with EMNLP 2021 https://sighum.wordpress.com/events/latech-clfl-2021/ Second Call for Papers (with apologies for cross-posting) Organisers: Stefania Degaetano-Ortlieb, Anna Kazantseva, Nils Reiter, Stan Szpakowicz LaTeCH-CLfL 2021 is the fifth in a series of meetings for NLP researchers who work with data from the broadly understood arts, humanities and social sciences, and for specialists in those disciplines who apply NLP techniques in their work. The workshop continues a long tradition of annual meetings. The SIGHUM Workshops on Language Technology for Cultural Heritage, Social Sciences, and Humanities (LaTeCH) ran from 2007 to 2016. The ACL Workshops on Computational Linguistics for Literature (CLfL) took place from 2012 to 2016. The first four joint workshops (LaTeCH-CLfL) were held from 2017 to 2020. Topics and Content In the Humanities, Social Sciences, Cultural Heritage and literary communities, there is increasing interest in, and demand for, NLP methods for semantic and structural annotation, intelligent linking, discovery, querying, cleaning and visualization of both primary and secondary data. This is even true of primarily non-textual collections, given that text is also the pervasive medium for metadata. Such applications pose new challenges for NLP research: noisy, non-standard textual or multi-modal input, historical languages, vague research concepts, multilingual parts within one document, and so no. Digital resources often have insufficient coverage; resource-intensive methods require (semi-)automatic processing tools and domain adaptation, or intense manual effort (e.g., annotation). Literary texts bring their own problems, because navigating this form of creative expression requires more than the typical information-seeking tools. Examples of advanced tasks include the study of literature of a certain period, author or sub-genre, recognition of certain literary devices, or quantitative analysis of poetry. NLP methods applied in this context not only need to achieve high performance, but are often applied as a first step in research or scholarly workflow. That is why it is crucial to interpret model results properly; model interpretability might be more important than raw performance scores, depending on the context. More generally, there is a growing interest in computational models whose results can be used or interpreted in meaningful ways. It is, therefore, of mutual benefit that NLP experts, data specialists and Digital Humanities researchers who work in and across their domains get involved in the Computational Linguistics community and present their fundamental or applied research results. It has already been demonstrated how cross-disciplinary exchange not only supports work in the Humanities, Social Sciences, and Cultural Heritage communities but also promotes work in the Computational Linguistics community to build richer and more effective tools and models. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: • adaptation of NLP tools to Cultural Heritage, Social Sciences, Humanities and literature; • automatic error detection and cleaning of textual data; • complex annotation schemas, tools and interfaces; • creation (fully- or semi-automatic) of semantic resources; • creation and analysis of social networks of literary characters; • discourse and narrative analysis/modelling, notably in literature; • emotion analysis for the humanities and for literature; • generation of literary narrative, dialogue or poetry; • identification and analysis of literary genres; • linking and retrieving information from different sources, media, and domains; • modelling dialogue literary style for generation; • modelling of information and knowledge in the Humanities, Social Sciences, and Cultural Heritage; • profiling and authorship attribution; • search for scientific and/or scholarly literature; • work with linguistic variation and non-standard or historical use of language. Information for Authors We invite papers on original, unpublished work in the topic areas of the workshop. In addition to long papers, we will consider short papers and system descriptions (demos). We also welcome position papers. • Long papers, presenting completed work, may consist of up to eight (8) pages of content plus additional pages of references; final camera-ready versions of accepted long papers will be given one additional page of content (up to 9 pages) so that reviewers’ comments can be taken into account. • A short paper / demo can present work in progress, or the description of a system, and may consist of up to four (4) pages of content plus additional pages of references. Upon acceptance, short papers will be given five (5) content pages in the proceedings. • A position paper — clearly marked as such — should not exceed six (6) pages including references. All submissions are to use the EMNLP stylesheets (for LaTeX / Overleaf and MS Word), to be announced soon at https://2021.emnlp.org/call-for-papers/. Papers should be submitted electronically, in PDF, via the LaTeCH-CLfL2021 submission website at https://www.softconf.com/emnlp2021/LaTeCHCLfL/. Reviewing will be double-blind. Please do not include the authors’ names and affiliations, or any references to Web sites, project names, acknowledgements and so on — anything that immediately reveals the authors’ identity. Self-references should be kept to a reasonable minimum, and anonymous citations cannot be used. Please see https://2021.emnlp.org/call-for-papers/#anonymity-period for the official EMNLP policy (except that our anonymity period starts later). Accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings, and later available in the ACL Anthology. Important Dates Anonymity period begins on July 1, 2021. Paper submission deadline: August 5, 2021 Notification of acceptance: September 5, 2021 Camera-ready papers due: September 15, 2021 Workshop date: December 11, 2021 More on the organisers Stefania Degaetano-Ortlieb, Language Science and Technology, Saarland University Anna Kazantseva, National Research Council of Canada Nils Reiter, Department for Digital Humanities, University of Cologne Stan Szpakowicz, School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, University of Ottawa Contact latech-clfl(a)googlegroups.com

*Apologies for crossposting* Event: dh-ch.ch Digital Humanities Workshop @ the Istituto Svizzero and the Bibliotheca Hertziana in Rome next Monday, 7. - 9. June 2021 Digital Images, Metadata and Cultural Heritage Objects Metadata and semantic information are crucial for most operations with data. Enriching images with words and words with images is more important than ever. That's why the focus of a starting event is on image-based research. This can be demonstrated particularly well by the research on cultural heritage, as sources of great importance for our social and cultural identity. The change towards digital methods and tools is essential in this context in several ways since the form of capturing technology as well as the visualization of content changed greatly with the advent of the digital. We are very honored and pleased to have the following keynote speakers at dh-ch21: Dr. Heidi Amrein, Chefkuratorin, Schweizerisches Nationalmuseum Prof. Dr. Tobias Wildi, Fachochschule Graubünden Prof. Dr. Geoff Cox and Nicolas Malevé, London South Bank University Prof. Dr. Béatrice Joyeux-Prunel, Université de Genève Paola Manoni, Vatican Library Dr. Elena Chestnova, Università della Svizzera Italiana Prof. Dr. Sarah Kenderdine, École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne You can register here to follow the keynote presentations of our workshop: https://www.istitutosvizzero.it/de/conferenza/digital-visual-media-and-meta… www.dh-ch.ch
