Free talk:
by Emily Middleton 08 Jan '25

08 Jan '25

Dear all, You are warmly invited to a talk on computer vision, hosted as part of the University of Leeds School of English 'Digital Horizons in English Studies' seminar series <https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fahc.leeds…>, taking place next Wednesday 15 January on Zoom (1pm GMT): Thomas Smits (Assistant Professor of Digital History and AI at the University of Amsterdam): 'Making Victorian News Images Searchable: A Computational Approach to the *Illustrated London News*, 1842-1899'. The* Illustrated London News *(ILN) revolutionized Victorian media by pioneering the integration of high-quality wood engravings with news content, reaching over a million viewers at its peak. While digitization has enabled text-based analysis of the ILN, its visual content remains difficult to explore and analyse. We address this challenge by presenting a dataset of 72,081 wood-engraved illustrations extracted from the ILN (1842-1890), accompanied by multimodal embeddings and a Flask application for retrieval. We create a searchable corpus of the ILN that enables users to find illustrations using textual queries, (modern) images, or image-text combinations. The resulting dataset and application allow flexible analysis of nineteenth-century visual representations of news, and suggest new avenues for research in computational humanities, media history, periodical studies, and visual culture studies. At the same time, this presentation also underscores the limitations of interpreting historical imagery with modern AI models, identifying the potential effects of bias and interpretive distortion. Thomas Smits is an assistant professor of Digital History and AI at the University of Amsterdam. His book* The European Illustrated Press* (Routledge, 2019) won the 2020 RSVP Colby Book Award. Recent work has been published in* Humanities and Social Sciences Communications, Visual Studies, New Media and Society, Digital Scholarship in the Humanities*, and *Visual Communication*. Please register using this link: *https://forms.office.com/e/Lii2Rd8Ep8 <https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fforms.off…>* . A Zoom link will be sent out to registered attendees the day before. We hope to see you there, Emily Bell and Mel Evans (seminar coordinators)

Exploring the materialities of AI: Geographies, infrastructures, numbers
by Loup Cellard 07 Jan '25

07 Jan '25

Hi all, We are happy to invite you to a one-day conference in Paris organised by the Center for Internet and Society. The schedule and abstracts are attached as a pdf. [image: JE IA 3101 affiche light.jpg] The consequences of artificial intelligence (AI) on the environment have garnered attention in public discourse after several publications estimating the water consumption, energy usage and resource depletion caused by the training and operating of AI and large language models (LLMs). Quantification plays an important role in making the materiality of AI perceptible but they do not exhaust the representations of AI’s consequences on the planet. In this conference, we explore the materialities of artificial AI from a wider variety of epistemic perspectives that deepen the comprehension of the multiple facets of AI’s material presence in the world and its consequences. When: Friday, January 31, 9:30 am - 4:30 pm *Where:* CNRS, site Pouchet, 59-61 rue Pouchet, 75017 Paris, FRANCE <https://maps.app.goo.gl/QC6PN5YN25seF6FYA> *Organisation team:* Loup Cellard (Datactivist, médialab Sciences-Po, ADM+S Centre), Valentin Goujon (médialab, Sciences Po), Hugo Estecahandy (IFG Lab, université Paris 8), Théophile Lenoir (University of Milan, médialab, Sciences Po), Adrien Tournier (HT2S, Cnam).

**apologies for cross-posting** The HHAI 2025 Doctoral Consortium (DC) will take place as part of the 4th International Conference on Hybrid Human-Artificial Intelligence in June 2025, Pisa, Italy: https://hhai-conference.org/2025/ This forum will provide early as well as middle/late-stage PhD students in the field of Hybrid Intelligence focusing on the study of Artificial Intelligence systems that cooperate synergistically, proactively and purposefully with humans, amplifying instead of replacing human intelligence. The Doctoral Consortium will take place in person at the HHAI 2025 conference. The DC provides an opportunity to present and discuss their doctoral research ideas and progress in a supportive, formative and yet critical environment and receive feedback from reviewers, mentors and peers from the field of Hybrid Intelligence. The Doctoral Consortium will also provide opportunities to network and build collaborations with other members of the HHAI community. We welcome submissions across research HHAI-related domains such as AI, HCI, cognitive and social sciences, philosophy & ethics, complex systems, and others (see “Topics of interest”). The event is intended for early as well as middle/late-stage PhD candidates and asks them to formulate and submit a concrete PhD research proposal, preferably supported by some preliminary results. The proposal will be peer-reviewed. If accepted, students must register and physically attend the event, which will include a range of interactive activities (among which presentations and mentoring lunch). Details for the submission are found below under “Submission Details”. **Important Dates** Submission Deadline: January 24, 2024 Reviews Released: March 18, 2025 Camera-ready Papers: April 13, 2025 Doctoral Consortium: June 10, 2025 All deadlines are 23:59 AoE (anywhere on Earth) **Topics of Interest** We invite research on different challenges in Hybrid Human-Artificial Intelligence.
