Subject: Seminar organised by King's Digital Lab on 'Computation and Digital Text Analysis of Melvilleâs Reading' by Christopher Ohge
Dear all,
Some of you might be interested in this seminar at King's College London,
UK: https://www.kdl.kcl.ac.uk/events/seminars/digitaltextanalysis-melville/
'Computation and Digital Text Analysis of Melville's Reading' by
Christopher Ohge (Lecturer, Institute of English Studies, School of
Advanced Study, University of London, London, UK)
Date and time: 25 April 2019, 1-2pm
Venue: King's College London (London, UK), Strand Campus, Bush House South
East Wing, Room 1.01
Abstract
How can computational techniques reveal literary influence? Once detected,
what kinds of analysis are required to establish why an author was
influenced by other writers? Focusing on existing corpora of Herman
Melville's reading and writing, editors at Melville's Marginalia Online are
using computational approaches to analyse literary influence from reading
evidence with XML technologies and the R programming language. Enhanced
analytical capability and visualisation tools reveal linguistic analyses of
Melville's reading. The approaches demonstrated in this seminar indicate
that an author's record of marginalia and lifetime of reading constitute a
valuable data set in its own right, demonstrating new means for assessing
his influences, source use, and conceptual development.
Registration is free but please register at

Call for papers
---------------
Humor is a universal and ubiquitous facet of human communication, but is
among the hardest to process in artificial intelligence environments.
The 2nd Panel on Humor and Artificial Intelligence at ISHS 2019 solicits
abstracts on the computational representation, detection,
classification, interpretation, and generation of any and all forms of
verbal or non-verbal humor.
Application areas include, but are not limited to:
• human–computer interaction
• computer-mediated communication
• intelligent writing assistants
• conversational agents
• machine and computer-assisted translation
• digital humanities
• natural language processing
• computer vision

Abstracts of up to 200 words should be submitted on the ISHS 2019
website by March 15, 2019. Notification for abstracts received by
February 1, 2019 will be on Febuary 15, 2019, which will allow authors
to meet the early (discounted) registration deadline of March 1, 2019.
All other abstracts will have notification on March 30, 2019, in time
for late conference registration on April 1, 2019. Authors of accepted
abstracts will give a 30-minute presentation (20 minutes talk + 10
minutes for questions) at the conference. The conveners are presently

Call For Papers
International Workshop on Digital Humanities to Preserve Knowledge and Cultural
Heritage : Collaborate, Compute, Share, and Visualize (DHK 2019)
Stanford, Monday, April 15, 2019
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stanford University and the Université de Lille (France) invite
submissions to a workshop on âDigital humanities to Preserve Knowledge
and Cultural Heritage : Collaborate, Compute, Share, and Visualize â at
the Center for Spatial and Textual Analysis (CESTA), Stanford
University, Monday, April 15, 2019.
As Digital Humanities continue to gain momentum, the field is
intersecting with an ever-widening range of disciplines including
Natural Language Processing, Library and Information Science, History,
Literature, and Translation Studies to name only a few. The growth of
these fields within DH enables us to break new scientific ground. For
example, the existing reservoir of public domain translations of
literary texts, once tracked and digitalized, provides a new a wealth of
linguistic resources to sustain and salvage endangered languages and
help us map the global circulation and reception of texts.
This workshop provides an opportunity to present recent scholarship and
exchange information about DH projects from all disciplines focused on
collecting, computing, sharing and visualizing transnational data to
preserve knowledge and cultural heritage.
We welcome submissions including but not limited to the following topics:
- Collecting and aligning translated texts in and for under-resourced
languages
- Multilingual parallel and comparable corpora
- Natural Language Processing to preserve knowledge diversity
- Knowledge circulation in a translational context
- Open data, open access and data preservation
- DH, crowdsourcing and digital libraries
- DH and the circulation of translated literary genres
- Collaboration and computing for endangered data
- Ethics and data privacy issues in a global context
SUBMISSION INFORMATION :
Please submit one-page abstracts for your 15-minute presentation to
amel.fraisse@univ-lille.fr or via the EasyChair workshop manager at
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dhk2019workshop
by 20 February 2019.
The Journal of Data Mining and Digital Humanities plans to publish a
selection of the papers presented at the workshop.
IMPORTANT DATES
Abstract submission deadline: 20 February 2019
Notification of acceptance: 1 March, 2019
Final abstract submission (to appear in the workshop program): 20 March, 2019
Workshop date: Monday, April 15, 2019
After the workshop, participants will be invited to revise their papers
(incorporating feedback from the workshop) to be considered for
inclusion in a special issue of The Journal of Data Mining and Digital
Humanities devoted to the subject of the workshop.
