KBR Digital Heritage Seminar Series - Computer Vision
by Isabelle Gribomont 31 Jan '22

31 Jan '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 UCL. In this virtual series running from February to June 2022, three scholars will present their work on image processing in the context of cultural heritage. Tuesday 22 February 2022 at 2 pm CET Thomas Smits, University of Antwerp, “The Visual Digital Turn: Computer Vision and the humanities” https://www.kbr.be/en/agenda/computer-vision-and-the-humanities/ Abstract Digital humanities research has focused primarily on the analysis of texts. However, digital and digitized sources also contain large numbers of images. Using several research projects as examples, I’ll discuss how scholars in the humanities can apply computer vision techniques in their research. Among other things, these new visual AI methods allow researchers to analyze patterns of (re)circulation of images, analyze patterns of media (use), analyze patterns in visual content at scale, analyze patterns of representations (gender/social class), analyze patterns in visual scenes and analyze patterns of visual style. In short, I’ll show how these techniques have opened up the visual side of the digital turn. Tuesday 15th March 2022 at 2 pm CET Apostolos Antonacopoulos, University of Salford, Manchester, UK “Understanding information-rich documents: experiences with historical England & Wales censuses” https://www.kbr.be/en/agenda/dhs-censuses/ Abstract In the Pattern Recognition and Image Analysis (PRImA) research Lab, from the University of Salford, UK, great efforts have been devoted to the investigation and analysis of cultural heritage materials especially using image processing and pattern recognition techniques. In the last a few years, a series of large-scale projects, including IMPACT - Improving Access to Text, Europeana Newspapers, Succeed - Support Action Centre of Competence in Digitisation, EMPO - Early Modern OCR project and Census 1961 were being hosted by PRImA. In this talk, Prof. Antonacopoulos, the founder and leading professor of PRImA, will give his insights on the processing and exploitation of cultural heritage materials. A special focus will be given to the ongoing project of Census-1961, where the main objective is to extract and model historical population census information using computer vision techniques. Monday 11th April 2022 at 2 pm CET Clemens Neudecker, Berlin State Library, Berlin, Germany “New Tools for Old Documents – Layout Analysis and OCR with Deep Learning and Heuristics” https://www.kbr.be/en/agenda/dhs-layout-analysis/ Abstract This talk will discuss the main achievements and experiences of the QURATOR project at the Berlin State Library (SBB) for document layout analysis. Historical documents that are being digitized in large quantities by libraries and archives frequently exhibit a wide array of features that disturb layout analysis, such as complex layouts with multiple columns, drop capitals and illustrations, skewed or curved text lines, noise, annotations, etc. In order to deal with these challenges and defects, a robust document layout analysis was developed that is implemented by pixel-wise segmentation using convolutional neural networks. In addition, heuristic methods are applied to detect columns or marginalia, and to determine the reading order of text regions. A key objective lies in feeding the resulting outputs to subsequent processes like a text recognition (OCR) engine or an image similarity search. 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: https://forms.gle/v4Cz4jgdQ1yb33zY6. You will be sent the link to the virtual meeting on the morning of the event. This series is co-organised by KBR’s growing research labs which includes: the Digital Research Lab, Data Science Lab, and the Digital Literary Lab in cooperation with Université libre de Bruxelles, Ghent University, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, and Université catholique de Louvain.

Digital Modern Languages: Tibet, Economic Development and the Affective Politics of Online State Media in the PRC - Séagh Kehoe (University of Westminster), 26 January
by Naomi Wells 20 Jan '22

20 Jan '22

The Digital Modern Languages seminar series (https://digitalmodernlanguages.wordpress.com/) will restart in 2022 with our newly expanded convening team that reflects a wider range of expertise in relation to different language, research and teaching contexts. In addition to and Paul Spence (King’s College London) and Naomi Wells (School of Advanced Study), the new convenors are Joe Dale (independent languages consultant), Orhan Elmaz (St Andrews), Saskia Huc-Hepher (Westminster) and Xuan Wang (Cardiff). Please find below the details of the first seminar. This is a free online event but advance registration at the following link is essential to be given access to the Zoom link:https://modernlanguages.sas.ac.uk/events/event/25682. Tibet, Economic Development and the Affective Politics of Online State Media in the PRC - Séagh Kehoe (University of Westminster) Wednesday 26 January 2022, 4-5pm GMT Abstract: Chinese state media coverage about Tibet has long been dominated by stories about state-led economic growth. In recent years, the focus of these stories has shifted from macro-level descriptions of infrastructure, science and technology, income, and education, to a more granular approach that foregrounds dramatized and emotionalized narratives of individual Tibetans engaging in and reaping the benefits of economic development. Seeking to understand this trend, this paper examines the increasing production and circulation of affect in online state media stories about economic development in Tibet. Through a selection of texts, videos and social media posts, it analyses how and why repeated references to hardship, happiness and gratitude have come to characterize these stories and how they work to valorize Tibetan diligence, self-responsibility, and patriotism, obscure structural inequalities and consolidate Chinese rule over Tibet. In doing so, this paper shows the increasingly sophisticated and creative ways in which the state has harnessed the power of affect and new media to manage public opinion about Tibet in the PRC and reinforce political power.

ICT with Industry workshop - Artificial Intelligence for Text Simplification (17-21 January 2022)
by marijn Koolen 18 Oct '21

18 Oct '21

Are you a young scientist with a background in ICT and do you have a creative and inquisitive mind? Do you like to think outside-the-box? Would you like to get into contact with industrial partners such as KB, RTL, Axini, SIG or Philips and solve a case together? Then apply for the “ICT with Industry 2022” Lorentz Workshop. Every year, the Lorentz Center and NWO together organize an ICT with Industry workshop. During five days a group of about 50 researchers from IT and Computer Science from a wide range of universities (within the Netherlands and Europe) will work together extensively on challenging problems proposed by companies. This year the KB has also provided a case: ARTificial Intelligence for Simplified Texts (ARTIST). During the ICT with Industry workshop we aim to explore the possibilities to make news articles, books and other publications more accessible to people with low literacy by applying AI techniques to automatically rewrite publications. Links - Register: https://www.lorentzcenter.nl/ict-with-industry-2022.html - More info: https://lab.kb.nl/news/apply-ict-industry-2022 Dates: - application deadline: 22 November 2021 - notification: early December 2021 - workshop: 17-21 January 2022 Background In the Netherlands, about 2.5 million citizens between 16 and 65 years old find it hard to read. This means they face challenges to fully participate in today’s society. Recently we have seen this problem when people with low-level literacy received invitations for the COVID- 19 vaccines that were too complicated for them. But also understanding the news by reading news articles in the newspaper or websites can be difficult making it hard to understand current issues. The KB, national library of the Netherlands, aims to make all publications available to all Dutch citizens, including people who have reading disabilities. In this use case we propose to explore the possibilities to make news articles, books and other publications more accessible to people with low literacy by applying AI techniques to automatically rewrite publications. In the Netherlands, several initiatives have been undertaken to manually make books or news articles more accessible. However, this is very labour intensive and only makes a small selection of publications available for illiterates. During the ICT with Industry workshop we aim to explore several methods to automatically rewrite news articles/book, making them available for all Dutch citizens.

Fwd: Job: Chancellor's Fellow in Text and Data Mining, Edinburgh
by TERRAS Melissa 07 Oct '21

07 Oct '21

Dear Colleagues, We're very pleased to be hiring a tenure track post at Lecturer or Senior Lecturer equivalent in text and data mining in History, Classics and Archaeology at the University of Edinburgh, working with the Edinburgh Futures Institute. International applications are welcomed. See more here: https://elxw.fa.em3.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/CandidateExperience/en/sites/CX_1… Please do share this opportunity with anyone who you think may be interested. Best wishes, Melissa Job Description UE08 £42,149 - £50,296 College of Arts, Humanities and Social Science/School of History, Classics and Archaeology and Edinburgh Future Institutes/ Archaeology Full time, 35 hours per week 5 year tenure track contract CHANCELLOR’S FELLOWSHIP 5 year tenure track Grade 8 appointments. Exceptionally, an appointment at Grade 9 might be made. Applications are sought for a Chancellor’s Fellowship in Text and Data Mining. This will be a joint appointment in the Edinburgh Futures Institute and the School of History, Classics and Archaeology, and will make a major contribution to the University’s Data Driven Innovation programme, in the areas of research, teaching and impact. Context The Edinburgh Futures Institute (EFI) is a global centre for multi-disciplinary, challenge-based Data Driven Innovation (DDI) research, teaching and engagement. Its distinctiveness stems from an approach which combines multi-disciplinarity with co-production – working with industry, governments and communities (at home and abroad) to build a portfolio of activity that has demonstrable ethical, social, cultural, economic and environmental impacts. This approach recognises that almost all of the biggest challenges facing societies globally, such as climate volatility, political discontent, economic upheaval and technological change are complex and multi-level in orientation. EFI seeks to address these challenges with insight and innovation developed from bringing the arts, humanities and the social sciences together with data science, engineering, the natural sciences and medicine. EFI has responsibility for delivering six major programmes linked to the Edinburgh and South East Scotland City Region Deal: a multi-million pound investment by the UK and Scottish Government, aiming to attract inward investment, support skills development and entrepreneurship, with the aim of securing economic prosperity for all. The focus of EFI’s programmes are: creative industries; tourism and festivals; financial services (including fintech); public services; the ethics of data and artificial intelligence; and future infrastructure. The Institute is appointing a cohort of Chancellor’s Fellows over 2020/21 and 2021/22 to help drive research and innovation and support the development and delivery of its portfolio of postgraduate and undergraduate programmes. To support cross-University collaboration, each of these posts will be located in one of the University’s 21 Schools. The School of History, Classics and Archaeology is part of the College of the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences. It is co-located in a completely refurbished 'A' listed building designed by the distinguished Scottish architect, Sir Robert Rowand Anderson in the nineteenth century, with state of the art facilities for staff and students. The School combines the expertise of the departments of History, Classics and Archaeology along with the Centre for the Study of Modern and Contemporary History, the Edinburgh Centre for Global History and the Centre for Medieval and Renaissance Studies. Though each department has its own areas of special concern, there are many activities and interests in common and important synergies between disciplines. There is a full programme of seminars and conferences, and close links are also maintained with subjects in other Schools. We are one of the largest, most distinguished and most highly ranked centres for the study of the human past in Europe, with over 140 teaching, research and administrative staff. Teaching is provided to around 1500 undergraduate and over 300 postgraduate students drawn from some 40 countries. Around 600 of our students are from outside the UK, reflecting the School's high international reputation. The Opportunity To support the next generation of academic research and innovation leaders in interdisciplinary thinking and data sciences and drive the outcomes of the City Deal, EFI appointed 5 new Chancellor’s Fellows in Data Driven Innovation in 2018. To complement this, a further 5 Chancellor’s Fellows are to be recruited in strategic themes for EFI in 2020/21 and 2021/22. These prestigious awards are aimed at early career individuals of the highest potential and attainment who have begun to establish a reputation for the outstanding research at the forefront of their discipline and who have a commitment to learning and teaching at university level. Candidates already holding an externally-funded Fellowship are welcome to transfer this to Edinburgh if the sponsor permits. International candidates are welcome and will be supported through the process of visa application if required. The present post, held jointly between the Edinburgh Futures Institute and the School of History, Classics and Archaeology, will focus on data mining in relation to history and archaeology, expanding the thematic area within HCA and providing doctoral supervision within the School, teaching and supervising on EFI Masters programmes and courses, and helping to develop interdisciplinary, industry and public sector links across both EFI and HCA.. It is envisaged that the successful candidate will contribute to the development of the Data Driven Initiative, with the aim of creating new and socially beneficial partnerships. The Data Driven Initiative is part of the Edinburgh and South East Scotland City Region Deal: https://www.ed.ac.uk/local/city-region-deal/about-data-driven-innovation The research and expertise of the candidate may also contribute to the developing research theme in the Cultural and Creative Economies. This theme involves work in gaming, music, the visual arts, film, and graphic design. The theme also includes areas such as tourism, festivals, the exploration of the cultural heritage of Scotland and other countries. Chancellor’s Fellows Scheme The details of the scheme are as follows: * Five year full-time tenure-track appointment * These fellowships are intended to support candidates at the start of their independent academic careers. Subject to satisfactory review at the end of year 3, the post holder will then move to a standard University academic open-ended contract. * A remit to interdisciplinarity, notably engagement with others across the Data Driven Innovation (DDI) Programme and elsewhere with a focus on data-enabled research of the highest quality * International or UK recruits * During the first two years of the appointment, the role will focus more on research than teaching (current expectations are, approximately, 60% research, 30% teaching, 10% citizenship activities). Thereafter the post holder will progressively move towards the normal balance of teaching, research and administration for an academic role so that by the end of the five-year period they will have a normal academic balance of duties (that is, 40% research, 40% teaching, 20% citizenship activities). * The assessment at 3 years will assess all academic capabilities (research, teaching, innovation, engagement with external stakeholders, leadership) * The post holder will be given substantial mentoring and development support through and beyond the Fellowship to help them gain grants, fellowships and industry engagement funding Your skills and attributes for success: * A strong commitment to engagement with industry/public sector/third sector and to translation of research * An establishing/established reputation for the highest quality research and innovation at the forefront of the discipline(s), including attracting external funding, and publishing high quality research that is creating impact * A commitment to high quality, innovative and creative teaching, including project-led and hybrid approaches * Expertise in analysing both material and textual sources through manual and automated text and data mining tools * Ambitious plans for interdisciplinary grant applications, leading collaborative and applied research within the expanding field of text and data mining As a valued member of our team you can expect: An exciting, positive, creative, challenging and rewarding place to work.
