Anne Frank scholarly edition now available in English
Dear colleagues, Some of you might be interested to hear that our TEI-based digital scholarly edition of Anne Frank's manuscripts is now also available in English. It includes her Diary, The Back House (the novel into which she set out to rewrite the diary), her collection of Tales, the unfinished novel Cady's Life and her Book of Beautiful Sentences (inspiring fragments that she copied from her reading). The edition provides extensive historical and textual commentary, context information and background essays. It can be accessed at https://annefrankmanuscripts.org/. Unfortunately, the copyright restrictions are the same as those for the Dutch edition we announced a few years ago. The edition is not accessible from most English-speaking countries, from the Netherlands, France and Spain and from quite a number of other countries. That's also the reason why we cannot publish the XML files. If you live in one of the countries where the edition cannot be accessed, you might still be interested in our article in the DH Benelux Journal, explaining the thinking behind the edition: https://journal.dhbenelux.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/DH_Benelux_Journal_.... We like to hear your comments! Best wishes, Peter
Dear colleagues, apologies for cross-posting! on the 47. German Conference on Artificial Intelligence (https://www.informatik.uni-wuerzburg.de/ki24/), 25 - 27 September 2024 in Würzburg, there will also be a Workshop, which is of interest for the DH-Community: https://www.csmc.uni-hamburg.de/ki2024-chai.html Humanities-Centred AI (CHAI) https://www.csmc.uni-hamburg.de/ki2024-chai.html AI can support research in the Humanities making it easier and more efficient. It is thus essential that AI practitioners and Humanities scholars take a Humanities-centred approach to the development, deployment and application of AI methods for the Humanities. Aim & Scope Inferring ancient cultural traditions from written artefacts, AI offers many opportunities to assist humanities scholars in their work. Editorial projects and computer-aided evaluations, such as text and data mining or linguistic analyses, require the collecting, storing, and linking of data in order to quickly identify core information of the written artefacts under investigation. Time-consuming procedures like the creation of dictionaries or the use of bibliographies can be facilitated, abridged and designed more efficiently through the automatic linking of data, which enables to create extensive data sets and to generate additional information. In this way, AI supports scholars with time-saving methods for their research, hence leaving more room for core tasks and questions. To ensure that the use of AI methods in the humanities remains not only abstract and theoretic, the applicability of algorithms in respective research needs to be specifically examined and intentionally developed with a clear focus on humanities research. *Agenda* *Workshop 23 or 24 September 2024 at KI2024, Würzburg * *15 minutes presentation plus 5 minutes discussion * *Call for Papers* This workshop addresses AI methods from the perspective of humanities scholars. We encourage submissions that report on work in progress or present a synthesis of emerging research trends. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * AI for the interdisciplinary work of humanities scholars * AI for linking data from the humanities scholars * Digitized written artefact representation and description formats * AI methods for written artefact analysis * OCR for humanities scholars * Human-aware agents supporting tasks of humanities scholars *Submission: Submitted papers must* * be 5 - 9 'standard' pages in length; * contain your research question(s), the methodological approach and your findings; * be written in English; * contain author names, affiliations, and email addresses; * be formatted according to the CEUR-WS-Template (use the 1-column style): http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-XXX/CEURART.zip * be submitted in PDF and the source file.
