Talk "Computational Literary Studies" University Bielefeld: MARK FINLAYSON
by Kababgi, Daniel 09 Feb '24

09 Feb '24

Dear colleagues, we are happy to announce a talk by Dr. Mark Finlayson (Knight Foundation School of Computing and Information Sciences (KFSCIS) at Florida International University (FIU)) about Computational Approaches to Understanding Narrative in our colloquium "Computational Literary Studies" at University of Bielefeld on 30th of Janurary, 18:00 c.t. (GMT+1). The talk will be held online (with hybrid attendance) via Zoom. Link to the Zoom-Meeting: https://uni-bielefeld.zoom-x.de/j/67554437983?pwd=VHNOUzNWMEZYeUkxUDJkZ015T… Meeting-ID: 675 5443 7983 Passwort: 135077 Abstract: Different discourse types present their own special challenges across the spectrum of Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques, for example, models that are trained or tuned for specific discourse types (e.g., wall street journal articles), to techniques that make certain assumptions about the texts in question (e.g., that everything described takes places “in the real world”). The narrative discourse type presents numerous interesting challenges for existing techniques, and also suggests novel NLP tasks specifically relevant to narrative. I present a selection of recent progress in the FIU Cognition, Narrative, and Culture (Cognac) Laboratory on NLP as applied to narrative. First, a new approach to timeline extraction that significantly improve our ability to extract, organize, and characterize timelines of events. Second, significantly improved animacy and character detection, where the goal is to determine whether a referent is animate and is acting as a “character”. We see that this approach requires some narratological sophistication to be successful. Third, new improvements in sub-event and event relationship detection on narrative texts that take advantage of certain important features of narrative discourse. Fourth, inference from text of narrative structures that were described by Vladimir Propp. I illustrate various applications of this work, focusing in particular on efforts to detect and model disinformation in the online space. Bio: Dr. Mark A. Finlayson is Eminent Scholar Chaired Associate Professor of Computer Science in the Knight Foundation School of Computing and Information Sciences (KFSCIS) at Florida International University (FIU). His research intersects artificial intelligence, natural language processing, and cognitive science. He directs the FIU SCIS Cognition, Narrative, and Culture (Cognac) Laboratory whose members focus on advancing the science of narrative, including: understanding the relationship between cognition, narrative, and culture; developing new methods and techniques for investigating questions related to language and narrative; and endowing machines with the ability to understand and use narratives for a variety of applications. He received his Ph.D. from MIT in computer science in 2012 under the supervision of Patrick H. Winston. He also holds the M.S. in Electrical Engineering from MIT (2001) and B.S. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor (1998).

Vacancy: post-doctoral researcher in human computation and/or knowledge representation (University of Helsinki, Finland)
by Hiippala, Tuomo J 01 Feb '24

01 Feb '24

Dear all, I'm looking to hire a post-doctoral researcher in human computation and/or knowledge representation for my upcoming ERC-funded project that starts in May 2024: https://www.helsinki.fi/en/researchgroups/multimodality/a-foundation-for-em… This position is for a fixed term of 36 months and based at the newly founded Multimodality Research Group in the Department of Languages at the University of Helsinki, Finland: https://www.helsinki.fi/en/researchgroups/multimodality/ PROJECT: The project develops novel methods for studying the phenomenon of multimodality, that is, how communication and interaction rely on intentional combinations of multiple 'modes' of expression. The project will use crowdsourcing for gathering human insights at scale, which are then processed and searched for patterns using neuro-symbolic artificial intelligence, such as graph neural networks. The methods and resources developed in the project will enable developing empirically founded theories about multimodal communication in the domain of everyday cultural artefacts. The data studied in the project includes, for example, school textbooks, user-generated explanation videos on social media, news broadcasts, instruction manuals and online newspapers. RESPONSIBILITIES: The post-doctoral researcher will be responsible for developing graph-based representations of multimodal discourse, that is, how different modes of expression – such as written and spoken language, photographs, diagrams, embodied communication, etc. – are combined in page-based and audiovisual media studied in the project. Insights about multimodal discourse are collected at scale using crowdsourcing and compiled into graph-based representations, which is why the appointee is also expected to participate in designing crowdsourcing pipelines and computational methods for quality control and knowledge representation. QUALIFICATIONS: The appointee must hold a doctoral degree in computer science, digital humanities or a related field. A deep understanding of modern approaches to knowledge representation (especially knowledge graphs) and/or human computation (crowdsourcing or citizen science) is considered essential for the planned research. A successful candidate should also have a solid understanding of programming languages such as Python and libraries used for processing and managing data (e.g. pandas, PyTorch, NetworkX). Experience in collaborative development of research software is considered an advantage. For the full announcement with additional details, please see https://jobs.helsinki.fi/job/Helsinki-Post-doctoral-researcher-in-human-com… Please share the announcement widely – for additional information about the position, please e-mail tuomo.hiippala(a)helsinki.fi.

2nd CfP - HHAI 2024 - The third International Conference on Hybrid Human-Artificial Intelligence
by Grootjen, Jesse 09 Jan '24

09 Jan '24

Call for Participation: HHAI2024 – The third International Conference on Hybrid Human-Artificial Intelligence June 10-14, 2024, Malmö, Sweden Call for Papers & Call for Workshop and Tutorial Proposals In this message, we shortened each call to their essentials – the full text of each call is available on the website: https://hhai-conference.org/2024/ Hybrid Human-Artificial Intelligence (HHAI) is an international conference series that focuses on the study of Artificial Intelligence systems that cooperate synergistically, proactively and purposefully with humans, amplifying instead of replacing human intelligence. HHAI aims for AI systems that work together with humans, emphasizing the need for adaptive, collaborative, responsible, interactive and human-centered intelligent systems. HHAI systems leverage human strengths and compensate for human weaknesses, while taking into account social, ethical and legal considerations. The HHAI field is driven by developments in AI, but it also requires fundamentally new approaches and solutions. Thus, we encourage collaborations across research domains such as AI, HCI, cognitive and social sciences, philosophy & ethics, complex systems, and others. In this third international conference, we invite scholars from these fields to submit their best original – new as well as in progress – works, and visionary ideas on Hybrid Human-Artificial Intelligence. Call for Papers (Main track) Important dates - Abstract submission: January 26, 2024 - Paper submission: February 2, 2024 - Acceptance notification: March 29, 2024 - Camera-ready version: April 12, 2024 Topics We invite research on different challenges in Hybrid Human-Artificial Intelligence. The following list of topics is illustrative, not exhaustive: - Human-AI interaction and collaboration - Adaptive human-AI co-learning and co-creation - Learning, reasoning and planning with humans and machines in the loop - User modeling and personalisation - Integration of learning and reasoning - Transparent, explainable, and accountable AI - Fair, ethical, responsible, and trustworthy AI - Societal awareness of AI - Multimodal machine perception of real world settings - Social signal processing - Representations learning for Communicative or Collaborative AI - Symbolic and narrative-based representations for human-centric AI - Role of Design and Compositionality of AI systems in Interpretable / Collaborative AI We welcome contributions about all types of technology, from robots and conversational agents to multi-agent systems and machine learning models. Paper types In this conference, we wish to stimulate the exchange of novel ideas and interdisciplinary perspectives. To do this, we will accept three different types of papers: - Full papers present original, impactful work (12 pages excl. references) - Blue sky papers present visionary ideas to stimulate the research community (8 pages excl. references) - Working papers present work in progress (8 pages excl.references) Accepted full papers and Blue sky papers will be published in the Proceedings of the Third International Conference on Hybrid Human-Machine Intelligence, in the Frontiers of AI series by IOS Press. Working papers can be included in these proceedings, unless the authors request the paper to remain unpublished. Work should be submitted in PDF format via Easychair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hhai2024 Call for Workshop and Tutorial Proposals We invite proposals for two-day, full-day and half-day workshops at HHAI 2024. We also invite tutorials to run alongside the workshops. The workshops and tutorials will form part of the first edition of the HHAI Summer School. The HHAI 2024 workshops and tutorials provide a platform for discussing a topic related to Hybrid Human-Artificial Intelligence with an audience specifically interested in that topic in an informal setting (compared to the main conference). We invite submissions for events that foster cross-disciplinary interaction, scientific discourse, and creative and critical reflection, rather than just being mini-conferences. We offer organizers flexibility on formats that best suit the goals of their event. We also welcome submissions from research communities that may not be prominently featured in AI events and conferences. Important Dates - Workshop and tutorial proposals: January 31, 2024 - Proposal acceptance notification: February 7, 2024 - Deadline for announcing the Call for Contributions to the workshops: February 14, 2024 - Recommended deadline for submissions to the workshops: April 10, 2024 - Recommended deadline for notifications on the submissions: May 2, 2024 - Workshops and tutorials at HHAI2024: June 10-11, 2024 Proposals should be submitted via Easychair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hhai2024 Location HHAI 2024 will be an in-person, single-track conference, held in Malmö, Sweden on June 10-14, 2024. More information on the venue as well as travel information can be found on the website: https://hhai-conference.org/2024/ Contact information Conference chairs: Frank Dignum (Umeå University, SE), Fabian Lorig (Malmö University, SE), Jason Tucker (Malmö University, SE), and Adam Dahlgren Lindström (Umeå University, SE). Program chairs: Pradeep Murukannaiah (TU Delft, NL), Andreas Theodorou (Umeå University, SE), Pinar Yolum (Utrecht University, NL). Workshop chairs: Petter Ericson (Umeå University, SE), Nina Khairova (Umeå University, SE), Marina de Vos (University of Bath, UK) For questions, you can reach the program chairs at program(a)hhai-conference.org<mailto:[email protected]> and the workshop chairs at workshop(a)hhai-conference.org<mailto:[email protected]> Kind regards, Julian Rasch & Jesse Grootjen Publicity and Social Media Chairs HHAI 2024 https://www.hhai-conference.org/

New free to read book - Modelling between Digital and Humanities: Thinking in Practice
by Arianna Ciula 21 Dec '23

21 Dec '23

Dear all, Colleagues in the EADH community contributed extensively to discussions and controversies around the concept and practices of modelling in digital humanities (and related), so I hope some of you will find interesting to read about the belated publication of this co-authored book which is free to download/read: Arianna Ciula, Øyvind Eide, Cristina Marras, and Patrick Sahle *Modelling between Digital and Humanities: Thinking in Practice* Freely available at *https://doi.org/10.11647/OBP.0369 <https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdoi.org%2…>* Amongst others, the late EADH member Dino Buzzetti inspired many discussions on modelling so it is a pity not to have him around to deconstruct most of the book content… I hope others can take on the challenge. Best wishes, Arianna Dr Arianna Ciula Director and Senior Analyst | King’s Digital Lab | King's College London | Virginia Woolf Building Room 2.50 | 22 Kingsway | London WC2B 6LE Co-author of *Modelling between Digital and Humanities: Thinking in Practice*, freely available at *https://doi.org/10.11647/OBP.0369 <https://doi.org/10.11647/OBP.0369>* DDI: +44 (0)20 7848 7486 <+442078487486> (Wednesdays) https://www.kdl.kcl.ac.uk | @kingsdigitallab <https://twitter.com/kingsdigitallab> For general enquiries, please contact *kdl-info(a)kcl.ac.uk <kdl-info(a)kcl.ac.uk>* [image: MBDH_23_Signature[24].jpg]
