Reminder - Call for Abstracts: Semantic Annotation for the Ancient World - SA4AW
by Rachel Milio 13 Jan '26

13 Jan '26

--- apologies for cross-posting --- Reminder - Call for Abstracts: Semantic Annotation for the Ancient World - SA4AW Dear colleagues, This is a reminder for the Call for Abstracts for the SA4AW Conference taking place in Rethymno, Crete (Greece) on May 7-8, 2026. The deadline is February 1st. Please submit an abstract of max. 1, 000 words (bibliography excluded) via EasyChair<https://easychair.org/cfp/SA4AW2026>. The conference is organised by the TALOS Centre in AI4SSH of the University of Crete (Horizon ERA Chair TALOS AI4SSH ID: 101087269) in collaboration with the Department of Philology, University of Crete. Learn more at the conference webpage<https://talos-ai4ssh.uoc.gr/events/conferences/semantic-annotation-for-the-…>. Description: We invite proposals for the 2nd Semantic Annotation for the Ancient World (SA4AW) conference, which examines the role of semantic annotation in dialogue with hybrid AI approaches, large language models (LLMs), deep learning, and knowledge graphs in the study of the ancient world and cultural heritage. Semantic annotation―whether manual, automated, or human-in-the-loop―enables the identification and linking of concepts, entities, and relationships, transforming raw textual and visual data into structured, interoperable knowledge. At a moment when LLMs can generate fluent interpretations but require grounding in domain-specific context, semantic annotation and knowledge graphs provide essential transparency, precision, and reusability. We welcome contributions that showcase methods, tools, case studies, theoretical reflections, and cross-disciplinary collaborations. In line with FAIR and Linked Open Data principles, the conference encourages open and accessible research practices. Conference proceedings will be published in open access online format. We encourage proposals on the following themes: * Semantic annotation in the era of LLMs (hybrid workflows, grounding, explainability) * Ontology-driven annotation and knowledge modelling * Knowledge graphs and Linked Open Data for ancient world studies * Human-in-the-loop annotation: methods, strategies, and pedagogy * Automatic and semi-automatic annotation pipelines * Cross-lingual and multilingual annotation (Ancient Greek, Latin, and historical languages) * Annotation and disambiguation of ancient places, persons, and cultural entities * NER and entity linking for ancient languages * RDF-based and ontology-aware digital editions * Standards, interoperability, and data sustainability (FAIR principles) * Platforms, tools, and reproducible workflows for annotation and data reuse Submission details: We invite proposals from all scholars, junior and senior, working in the topic areas of the conference. Please submit an abstract of max. 1,000 words (bibliography excluded, free format). Submissions will be reviewed via double-blind peer review through EasyChair . Paper presentations will be 20 minutes long, with extra time for questions and discussion. The working language of the conference is English. A longer version of accepted papers will be published in an edited volume after the conference. More details about the edited volume are forthcoming.

In this context, the COMHUM workshop series positions itself as an international forum primarily devoted to the following research questions: (1) which formal or computational approaches can help address the particular challenges posed by the growing presence of the digital in humanities, e.g., digital artifacts, software, LLMs, and computer-generated data? In these cases and beyond, (2) which methods are most appropriate to tackle the challenges posed by humanities research and how can they be applied to concrete research questions? The first day will be devoted to the specific topic of computation and video games. This topic explores computational methods for analyzing video games as well as humanities approaches to computation in video games. It has a number of ramifications in a variety of disciplines, including software studies, critical code studies, literary analysis, digital humanities, and game studies. Topics in the special track include, but are not limited to: - Methods for data extraction in video games (e.g. telemetry, assets, models, code) - Computational methods for video game analysis (including spatial, representational and narrative aspects) - Analyses of intersection of computational approaches and the study of video games - Humanities approaches to computation of video games (including software) In the spirit of the previous editions of the COMHUM workshop, the second day will be open to submissions on any topic pertaining to theoretical or applied research on computational methods for humanities research broadly conceived. Topics in the open track include, but are not limited to: - Theoretical issues of formal modeling in the humanities - Knowledge representation in the humanities - Data structures addressing specific problems in the humanities (including text and markup) - Computational methods in the humanities (e.g., for language and literary studies, historical studies, or multimodal data) - Applications of computer vision, image analysis and spatial analysis in the humanities The program will consist of invited and contributed talks. The official language of the workshop is English. Contributions can be submitted in English or French. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Submissions We invite researchers to submit abstracts of 500 to 1000 words (excluding references).

CFP - AI for Peace
by Leonardo Impett 12 Jan '26

12 Jan '26

Dear all, Please find below a Call for Papers for the AI for Peace workshop at ICLR in Sao Paolo, Brasil. *Dates* Jan. 30, 2026 Workshop contributions submission deadline Mar. 1, 2026 Decision notification and OpenReview publication Apr. 26 or 27, 2026 Workshop date AI has many historical roots in research for military applications and much of the scientific community remains deeply connected to the surveillance and defense industries. Yet, even today, the military uses of AI are often obscured and many researchers and developers remain unaware of how their work might be deployed in conflicts, and the extent to which they might contribute to intentional harm, including potentially violations of international law. Although AI in conflict and surveillance is a key topic of public and policy debate, there have been no formal spaces for AI researchers themselves within the main machine learning conferences to articulate and discuss their positions towards the weaponization of their research. The AI for Peace workshop @ ICLR 2026 will be a forum to consider both the harms associated with research dissemination and design decisions, and the opportunities for affirmatively building our research and development agenda from the starting position of non-violent harm prevention, research ethics, and respect for international law, including international humanitarian and human rights law. We aim to address the critically under-discussed issue of AI’s dual-use nature, focusing on how machine learning technologies are being adapted for military purposes, potentially without the researchers’ knowledge or consent. While attending to the heightened risks associated with particular areas and systems of research, we will also be collectively thinking through what it looks like to engage productively in research and development activities that considers ethics and international law at its core. Our objectives are to: • Increase transparency about the pipelines through which AI research enters into military and surveillance applications. • Develop collective strategies to address ethical and legal risks as a community of researchers. • Highlight and support research efforts that contribute to peace-building applications, including those helping to surface or elucidate harmful applications of AI. A key avenue of exploration will be to invite parallels between current conversations in AI and similar debates (with longer histories) in other scientific fields, such as genetic biology and nuclear physics; where researchers have grappled with similar ethical challenges and proposed concrete professional responses.

UPDATE 13 January: Measuring Narrative Space by Dr. Rohrbacher tomorrow via ZOOM
by Berenike Herrmann 12 Jan '26

12 Jan '26

Dear all, (with apologies for cross-postings) Due to public transport problems because of the wintry weather conditions Dr. Rohrbacher’s talk “Measuring Narrative Space: A Computational Study of German and English Prose Fiction” will take place via zoom only. See all infos below. Starting off the New Year with more food for thought, the Bielefeld research colloquium “LiLi revisited: Digital Interface Research between Literary Studies and Linguistics" (Herrmann) and the Bielefeld “Computational/Digital Linguistics Work Group Meeting” (H. Buschmeier/S. Zarrieß) will host a guest lecture to which I would like to draw your attention: Tuesday, January 13: Dr. Katrin Rohrbacher (Nürnberg/Erlangen): Measuring Narrative Space: A Computational Study of German and English Prose Fiction The lecture is public and can be attended only via zoom. The talk will not be recorded. Dr. Katrin Rohrbacher (Nürnberg/Erlangen): Measuring Narrative Space: A Computational Study of German and English Prose Fiction In this talk, I will present ongoing work on measuring the notion of narrative space using machine learning methods, specifically by fine-tuning BERT-based classification models and applying them to a large collection of German and English historical prose fiction, including both canonical works and non-fiction. Moving from theorization and conceptualization to dataset creation, modeling, analysis, and interpretation, I will outline the steps involved in conducting a computational study of this kind. We will examine results that show how the concepts of “setting” and “lived space” have been used in fiction over time and discuss their implications for “experientiality” and embodiment more broadly, including cross-linguistic perspectives between German and English. The talk also introduces a methodological model for iterative, interpretive “computational reading” that bridges qualitative and quantitative approaches. When: January 13, 2026, 10-12 hs Where: Zoom Zoom link: https://uni-bielefeld.zoom-x.de/j/67280092106?pwd=Zlzqqy980r2N7I1wTktAbbV33… Meeting-ID: 672 8009 2106 Passwort: 719720 We are looking forward to a vivid discussion!

CfP: Historical Labour Markets in Text: Computational and Historical Perspectives on Labour Market Evolution 24./25.4.2026
by Georg Vogeler 09 Jan '26

09 Jan '26

Dear European Digital Humanists, the workshop "Historical Labour Markets in Text: Computational and Historical Perspectives on Labour Market Evolution" brings together social and economic historians, labour economists, and digital humanities scholars who use textual sources (for instance job advertisements, ego-documents, legal documentation) to study historical economies of the labour markets. In the context of our Job ads project (https://historical-job-ads.uni-graz.at/) — whether in newspapers, trade journals, or early employment agencies — we used this unique window into employer demand and labor supply: occupations, skills, gender expectations, and social norms. With digitization and advances in natural language processing (NLP), new possibilities emerge for systematic, large-scale analyses across time and place. The goal of the workshop is to exchange experiences on how to prepare, model, and interpret textual sources like job advertisement data for economic, historical and digital research. We will discuss social and economic history of labour, methodological challenges (OCR, classification, text annotation, comparability across periods), share ongoing projects, and explore how computational tools can support broader historical questions about skill demand, gender segmentation, and structural change. Topics include: - Which historical sources can inform us about changing skill requirements, technological change, and gendered labour markets. - What can we learn from historical job ads about changing labour markets? - Which methods are available for extracting structured social and economic information from historical text? - How can we set up comparative and longitudinal studies of labour markets across countries and centuries drawing on data beyond already historically aggregations? - How can we enrich textual sources by linking them to economic taxonomies like HISCO, ISCO, or occupational prestige scales? - What has to be done to aggregate and integrate data created on the historical labour market? If you want to participate with a talk (ca. 20min), send an abstract with min. 400 and 750 words (excl. bibliographic references) and a short biographical sketch to wiltrud.moelzer(a)uni-graz.at by **February 1st, 2026**. We will inform you about acceptance by the beginning of March. There will be limited financial support for travel and accommodation.
