DH Virtual discussion group

25 March 202415h-16h30 via Teams

The discussion group meets on a monthly basis via MS Teams. Each meeting features a presentation from a member of our community, a moment to share DH-related news, and a chance to network. Anyone with an interest in Digital Humanities is welcome to join the Discussion Group. The primary target audience is Belgian-based early career researchers, including motivated BA students, MA students, PhD researchers, and postdocs, but people at all stages of their careers are welcome as well as people working in the GLAM sector.

The first session of the 2024 Spring Edition of the DH Virtual Discussion Group will take place on March 25.

Speaker: Nooshin Shahidzadeh Asadi, University of Antwerp

Title: Developing Interoperable Open-Source Tools in the Digital Humanities: Merits and Complexities

In this session, Nooshin Asadi will discuss her pivot from software engineering to pursuing a PhD in digital humanities and the changes it has brought about in her professional and academic life. She will talk about her experience with the occasionally harsh but ultimately rewarding reality of producing prototypical, open-source software in the world of DH, while examining in detail the current project she is working on (Axolotl, a real-time collaborative XML editor) and the challenges and opportunities she has faced throughout its development.

Vev’s Design is an online design studio that can be used to build your own interactive website in an intuitive way. Its prime focus is storytelling visualization, as it allows you to tell your own story in a dynamic and immersive manner. Vev offers a combination of different web design techniques that help transform text-based stories into engaging visual experiences – perfect for communicating your research to a non-expert audience. It requires no coding skills to build your own website, which can afterwards be easily integrated and updated in WordPress. This workshop will teach you the necessary basics to get started on building your own web page.

The tutorial is free and open to all. Please register by sending a mail to platformdh@uantwerpen.be.

CLARIN-EHRI workshop: Natural Language Processing Meets Holocaust Archives

27 – 28 March 2024, Prague

As part of the ongoing collaboration between CLARIN and EHRI, the European Holocaust Research Infrastructure Consortium, there will be two events in the first half of 2024. 1. CLARIN-EHRI workshop: Natural Language Processing Meets Holocaust Archives. This will be a practical, hands-on workshop, working on enhancement and use of Holocaust documentation as research data, hosted by LINDAT in Prague, 27-28 March 2024.

More info: https://www.clarin.eu/event/2024/natural-language-processing-meets-holocaust-archives

A call for participation is out now with deadline 15 January 2024. It would be great to get participants from more countries involved this time, and it’s a good opportunity for CLARIN folks to build on or to start collaborations in your country with historians in this domain. There are a very limited number of funded places for CLARIN participants, and we hope that national consortia and other sources of funding should be the first choice.

Guest lecture: Melvin Wevers on Working with Audio Files

28 March 2024- 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm (S.A.206 Prinsstraat 13, Antwerpen, Antwerpen, Belgium)

In this upcoming guest lecture, the focus will be on audio file manipulation. The session will cover tasks like loading, editing, and visualizing audio files, as well as extracting various features from them, crucial for diverse machine learning tasks including classification. Later in the lecture, speech-to-text algorithms will be explored for converting speech into text and identifying different speakers within an audio file.

Melvin Wevers, an Assistant Professor in Digital History at the University of Amsterdam, conducts research centered on applying computational methods to model historical processes. This involves combining insights from the philosophy of history with modeling techniques such as time series analysis, Bayesian statistics, deep/machine learning, and information theory.

The lecture will be held in English and is free to attend. However, registration is required as spaces are limited. Please confirm your attendance by sending an RSVP e-mail to platformdh@uantwerpen.be.
