Dear all,

As part of the DH in the Indian Rim project (SPARC), we are holding an
e-symposium on the 29th and 30th of October. Humanists from anywhere are
invited to attend, and humanists from Indian Rim countries in particular
are invited to submit proposals for 7-minute lightning talks on the topic:

How are new digital technologies changing the way we teach, study and
organise our disciplines?

You can find the full CFP here: https://bit.ly/3i8sFPN

If you are interested, you can register here:

Kind regards,

The DH in the Indian Rim Team

For All DH Community,

The VIS4DH workshop (http://vis4dh.org/) is an associated event at the IEEE VIS
2020 conference (http://ieeevis.org/year/2020/welcome) aimed at discussing new
research directions at the intersection of visualization and (digital)
humanities research. For our 5th edition, we are pulling together an
international list of labs/centers/working groups focused on Visualization and
the Digital Humanities. We aim to create a platform to support visibility and
collaboration between the different groups at the intersection of these fields.

We therefore call for contributions in two possible ways:

*Register your lab to be featured on vis4dh.org:
This list will be featured on , where it can act as a resource for
information and collaboration.

*Present your lab during the VIS4DH workshop:
Groups that are interested in presenting a brief lightning talk about their work
will be able to do so during the VIS4DH workshop. Because of time
considerations, we will have to limit the number of presentations. We will make
selections that ensure geographic and disciplinary diversity.

Fill out the survey at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe_UZ9_eQLIksOgF
VnrVMrQGD9gR_pEQN7Ng5J-6j78xLN-ew/viewform?usp=sf_link if you would like to be
listed on our website, or if you would like to present during the workshop. The
deadline for presenters’ submission is on 21 Aug 2020.

For any questions, email the Organizing Committee at: .

Thank you for contributing!

Digital Classicist London Seminar 2020

Charlotte Tupman (Exeter) Reconsidering the Roman workshop: Applying machine
learning to the study of inscribing texts

Friday August 7th at 17:30 (UK time)
Streamed live (and archived indefinitely) at https://youtu.be/sVUg9R13l5E

This paper examines whether our understanding of lettercutting processes in the
Roman world can be enhanced through combining traditional scholarship and
machine learning. The pilot project applies a neural network to a dataset of
images made available by the Epigraphische Datenbank Heidelberg. We investigate
whether the model can learn effectively to identify and measure the layouts of
inscriptions. In this paper we present the results and implications of the first
stage of the project, in which we train the model to recognise text within
images of varying quality, and discuss the next steps in furthering our
knowledge of Roman craftsmanship.



ALL WELCOME
