"Reframing Failure" DHRH Seminar Series Launch - School of Advanced Study , University of London
by Anna-Maria Sichani 17 Oct '22

17 Oct '22

**with apologies for cross-posting** Dear colleagues, *Reframing Failure *Seminar Series Most of us recognise that failure is an unavoidable part of any scholarly endeavour - let alone life - especially for people who work across disciplines. Yet, for something so central to our experience, it often sits at the periphery of our writing, training, and professional discourse. The *Reframing Failure *seminar series explores how we can reframe failure within the digital humanities: the ways we can learn from it, talk about it, and hopefully reconsider our collective relationship to it. Conceived as a series of conversations, *Reframing Failure* presents an opportunity to reflect on practice. It welcomes those from within and outside the digital humanities and takes an international and interdisciplinary approach to failure. Reframing Failure is a virtual seminar series hosted by the Digital Humanities Research Hub <https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sas.a…> at the School of Advanced Study, University of London. If you have any questions about the series, please email the facilitators Anna-Maria Sichani and Michael Donnay at digitalhumanities(a)sas.ac.uk. Seminar 1: Setting the Failure Agenda <https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sas.a…> Tuesday, 15 November 2022 at 17:00 GMT In 2012 Lisa Spiro wrote, ‘Not all experiments succeed as originally imagined, but the digital humanities community recognizes the value of failure in the pursuit of innovation’. A decade later, what does failure mean for the digital humanities community today? If there is value in failure, how do we create the space to fail ‘better’? Panellists include: - Quinn Dombrowski (Stanford) - David de Roure (Oxford) - Jane Winters (School of Advanced Study) - Anna-Maria Sichani (School of Advanced Study) - Chair Register here. <https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sas.a…> We will be hosting additional seminars in 2023 - the schedule for these will be announced shortly. -- *Dr. Anna-Maria Sichani* *Post-Doctoral Research Associate in Digital Humanities | The Congruence Engine: Digital Tools for New Collections-Based Industrial Histories (TaNC-AHRC)* *Digital Humanities Research Hub | **School of Advanced Study , University of London* *UKRI Policy and Engagement Fellow in Digital Research and Innovation Infrastructure* *Editor, The Programming Historian* *Director, ProgHist Ltd. | **ProgHist Ltd is a charity registered in England and Wales (1195875) and incorporated in England and Wales as a company limited by guarantee (12192946).* *programminghistorian.org/ <http://programminghistorian.org/>* @amsichani <https://twitter.com/amsichani> amsichani.github.io *Please consider the environment before printing this e-mail* ** Please note that although my working pattern means that I might send you an email outside of normal office hours, I do not expect a response outside the hours of your own working pattern. * *

Metaphor-Annotated Bible?
by Maria Berger 12 Oct '22

12 Oct '22

Hello everyone, I am currently working on transfering approaches of metaphor identification from English to German. I was wondering whether there is a freely-available metaphor-annotated Bible corpus out there. I am pretty sure there are a lot rather special datasets in the community. What I basically am looking for is a typical flat-annotated Bible (or parts of it) with words/phrases that are figurative in consent. I found the Lexham Figuratative Language of the NT Dataset (2016) but that seems to come with a special software only. I am grateful for any hint. Best, Maria -- Dr. rer. nat.

KBR Digital Heritage Seminar Series - Lexical semantic change for the humanities
by Isabelle Gribomont 02 Oct '22

02 Oct '22

Dear Colleagues, [With apologies for cross-posting] KBR invites you to attend the KBR Digital Heritage Seminar Series, in cooperation with ULB, UGent, VUB and UCLouvain. In this virtual series running from October to December 2022, three scholars will present their work on lexical semantic change for the humanities. * Tuesday 18 October 2022 at 2PM CEST (GMT +2) “Change is Key!” Nina Tahmasebi (University of Gothenburg) & Simon Hengchen (University of Geneva) https://www.kbr.be/en/agenda/change-is-key/ Abstract In this talk, we will present the Change is Key! program, a 6-year research program where we combine methods for semantic change and lexical variation to answer research questions stemming from humanities and social sciences. We will first introduce different classes of methods for computationally detecting semantic change, ranging from topic modelling to contextual embeddings, and discuss how the results should be valued and evaluated. The talk will further shed light on research questions from the humanities and social science focus domains that will be tackled in Change is Key! as well as present a case-study on semantic change in Dutch-language historical newspapers using topic modelling. * Tuesday 8 November 2022 at 2PM CET (GMT +1) Justyna Robinson (University of Sussex) “Concept-led approach to semantic change” https://www.kbr.be/en/agenda/digital-heritage-seminar-linguistic-dna-projec… Abstract Semantic change is usually discussed from the angles of onomasiology or semasiology. Thus, one may focus on words representing the same meaning as in child, girl, baby meaning ‘young person’ or focus on meanings attached to the same word, as in girl ‘child, young person’ (c1300) versus girl ‘female young person’. These traditional approaches assume that the meaning lies in data that is conceived of in categorical and linear terms. In this talk I present a perspective on semantic change in terms of paradigmatic relations across a text. I discuss the findings from the Linguistic DNA<https://www.linguisticdna.org/> research project which analysed concepts in discourse of 55,000 Early Modern English books. I present the most recent theoretical and methodological innovations, which include bottom-up modelling of prosodic meaning. * Thursday 8 December 2022 at 2pm CET (GMT +1) Florentina Armaselu (University of Luxembourg) “Bridging NLP and LLOD: Humanities Approaches to Semantic Change” https://www.kbr.be/en/agenda/dhs-humanities-approaches-to-semantic-change/ Abstract Natural language processing (NLP) for detecting lexical semantic change and linguistic linked open data (LLOD) are two areas of research that have shown promising results in the latest years. However, their potential of being considered together for analysing and representing semantic change from a humanistic perspective needs further study and development. The talk will present an overview of theoretical aspects, NLP techniques and LLOD formalisms intended to this purpose, and will focus on a project developed as a humanities use case within the COST Action “Nexus Linguarum – European network for Web-centred linguistic data science.” The discussion will include preliminary thoughts on the conception of a system that combines dictionary information with corpus evidence, and provides multilingual diachronic ontologies for humanities research. Practical information: These talks will be held, via Microsoft Teams, in English, with questions in French, Dutch or English. The target audience is scholars, but the general public is warmly welcome. Registration is free but mandatory: Microsoft Forms<https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=_vpFvrBIV0S_zOy1aWlbkVD…> You will be sent the link to the virtual meeting on the morning of the event. This series is co-organised by the following research Labs at KBR: Digital Research Lab, Data Science Lab, CAMille and LabEL, in cooperation with Université libre de Bruxelles, Universiteit Gent, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, and Université catholique de Louvain. Isabelle Gribomont, also on behalf of my co-organizers Julie Birkholz, Brecht Deseure, Sébastien de Valeriola and Tan Lu Isabelle Gribomont Chercheuse postdoctorale en humanités numériques à l'UCLouvain et responsable de LabEL (Laboratory for Electronic Literature)<https://www.kbr.be/fr/projets/label/> à la Bibliothèque Royale de Belgique Digital Humanities Postdoctoral Researcher at UCLouvain and head of LabEL (Laboratory for Electronic Literature)<https://www.kbr.be/en/projects/laboratory-for-electronic-literature/> at the Royal Library of Belgium
