⚠️ There are only two days left to send us your ideas for a PhD project to be submitted to the Call for the Award of Studentships for Doctoral Research in all Scientific Domains.
About five years ago I created a collection of full-page editorial cartoons from The Bulletin, harvested from #Trove. Through a process that might be politely described as ‘iterative’, I fiddled with an assortment of queries and methods until I had at least one cartoon from every issue published between 4 September 1886 and 17 September 1952 – 3,471 cartoons in total.
🛎️ We have just opened our mailbox to receive your PhD project proposals, to be submitted to the FCT's Call for the Award of Studentships for Doctoral Research, both in the General Line and in a Non-Academic Environment.
📢 Ankündigung: Die Professur für #DigitalHistory@humboldtuni und die TA5 Data Culture der @NFDI4Memory werden bei der #DH2024 in Washington (06.-09.08.24) gleich mehrfach vertreten sein!
Lange überfällig: wir sind jetzt auch #neuhier. Der #Podcast ist ein Gemeinschaftsprojekt des @mmzpotsdam und des #IGdJ (Institut für die Geschichte der deutschen Juden, Hamburg).
Register for the #nodegoat Workshop ‘Introduction to historical data analysis and visualisation’ organised by the department of Southeast European History and Anthropology at the University of Graz on Friday 22 March. Registration deadline is 18 March.
Small update: 🤖⚔️ #ParzivAI - our #GenAI language model specialized in translating #MiddleHighGerman into modern #German, and explaining the #MiddleAges to students - is halfway done with another round of training...
❗ There's still time to register (free of charge) for the #REWIND project workshop, where the trainers will explain the #IATML methodology, a computational method that allows us to analyse discourses.
It can help us, for example, study the opinions of the population, combining ontological, argumentative and agency analysis.
Morgen ist Torsten Hiltmann zu Gast in der #DigitalHumanities Brown Bag Lunch Series des Max-Planck-Instituts für Wissenschaftsgeschichte mit einem Vortrag zu:
Elif Derin-Can of the Fatih Sultan Mehmet Vakıf Üniversitesi organises a nodegoat workshop on March 2 within the framework of the Digital Ottoman Studies initiative.
🧐 How can computing help us, for example, to study people's opinions on controversial heritage?
In the next workshop of the #REWIND project you will learn about the IAT /ML methodology, which allows discourses to be analysed by combining ontological, argumentative and agency analysis.
Two Interdisciplinary PhD positions @ Young Academy Groningen 2024 for the project "Academia in a bind: Data surveillance practices in scholarly publishing."
🥁 In the final session of our #DigitalHistoryOFK for this semester, we welcome Thea Sommerschield (University of Nottingham), who will introduce us to the current trends, challenges & future prospects in the field of #MachineLearning and #generativeAI for the study of Ancient Languages and media (from cuneiform to carbonised papyri). Not to be missed!
🤖⚔️ @fnieser.bsky.social und ich haben #ParzivAI gebaut. Ein #llm, das auf Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1basiert, und das mit mittelhochdeutscher Literatur finetuned wurde.
Bisher noch Proof of Concept, aber demnächst vllt im Schulunterricht?
📌 Im vorletzten Vortrag des #DigitalHistoryOFK in diesem Semester freuen wir uns, Anna Siebold (MPIWG Berlin, DFK Paris) begrüßen zu dürfen, die uns aus ihrem Dissertationsprojekt zu Merkmalen, Idealen und Good-Practice-Kriterien der historischen Netzwerkforschung berichten wird.
How can we use #MachineLearning techniques to analyze the impact of the industrial revolution and its technologies on human life? @mia (British Library) & Kaspar Beelen (School of Advanced Study, University of London) explore this question in this week's #DigitalHistoryOFK by looking at one of the biggest #DigitalHumanities projects in the UK: #LivingWithMachines.
