SECOND WORKSHOP IN COMPUTATIONALLY-INTENSIVE
METHODS IN QUANTITATIVE LINGUISTICS
Department of Statistics =20
University of Glasgow, UK
7-9 September 1998
Final Call for Registration
In recent years techniques from disciplines such as computer science,
articficial intelligence and statistics have found their way into the
pages of journals such as the Journal of Quantitative Linguistics,
Literary and Linguistic Computing and Computers and the
Humanities. While this influx may bring more advanced methods of
analysis to the fields of quantitative linguistics, stylometry and
stylistics, the demands upon researchers to understand and use these
new techniques are great. Familiarity with the appropriate software
and the ear of a sympathetic expert are pre-requisites without which
the technique may seem out of reach to the average researcher. The
Humanities Advanced Technology and Information Institute and the
Department of Statistics of the University of Glasgow are hence
supporting this practical workshop in Computationally-Intensive
Methods in Quantitative Linguistics.
The workshop is designed to introduce the participants to four such
techniques in a practical environment. Each half-day session will be
divided into an introductory session in a lecture theatre and a longer
period spent working with software and practical examples. All of the
speakers have published papers using the analyses they will present
and their aim in this workshop is to enable the participants to return
to their home institutions able to carry out these techniques in the
course of their own research.

Preliminary Information
The Third International Conference brings together the creators,
users, distributors, and curators of Digital Resources in the
Humanities will be held in Glasgow in 1998.=20
DRH98 is the internationally recognised forum for all those
involved in and benefiting from the digitisation of our common
cultural heritage: the scholar producing or using an electronic
edition; the teacher using digital media in the seminar room; the
publisher finding ways to reach new markets; the librarian,
curator, art historian, or archivist wishing to improve both
access to and conservation of the digital information that
characterises contemporary culture and scholarship.=20
Conference Themes
Creation and management of digital resources (e.g. textual,
visual, and time-based). Integration of digital resources as
multimedia. Policies and strategies for electronic delivery, both
commercial and non-commercial. Cataloguing and metadata aspects
of resource discovery. Implications of digital resources and
electronic delivery for teaching, learning, and scholarship.
Encoding standards. Rights management (e.g. intellectual property
rights). Funding, cost-recovery, and charging mechanisms.
Digitisation techniques and problems.
Conference format
The conference will take up three intensive days of papers, panel
discussions, technical reports, and software demonstrations,
between the evening of 9th September 1998 and lunchtime on the
12th September 1998.
The atmosphere will, we hope, encourage a lot of energetic
discussion, both formal and informal. Leading practitioners of
the application of digital techniques and resources in the
humanities, from the worlds of scholarship, librarianship, and
publishing will be there, exchanging expertise, experience, and
opinions.
