Department of Digital Humanities, University of Cologne Hosted by DH-Cologne www.dhhumanist.org Submit to: humanist@dhhumanist.org Date: 2021-05-05 11:29:46+00:00 From: AEOLIAN Project <Aeolian@lboro.ac.uk> Subject: AEOLIAN Network and Workshop Dear all, I want to let you all know about the new digital humanities project, the AEOLIAN Network (https://www.aeolian-network.net/) (Artificial Intelligence for Cultural Organisations). The project is funded by the New Directions for Digital Scholarship grant from the US National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC). AEOLIAN is designed to investigate the role that Artificial Intelligence (AI) can play to make born- digital and digitised cultural records more accessible to users. The project will make a ground-breaking contribution to this field through carefully- structured workshops, innovative research outputs, and the creation of an international network of theorists and practitioners working with born-digital and digitised archives. Please visit https://www.aeolian-network.net for more information. We are hosting an upcoming online workshop for the project and we would like to share some details with you: The AEOLIAN Network’s first Online Workshop: Employing Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence in Cultural Institutions will take place on Wednesday 7th July from 12:00 to 17:30 GMT Keynote Speaker Thomas Padilla Director of Information Systems and Technology Strategy at the Center for Research Libraries Guest Speakers Giles Bergel University of Oxford / National Library of Scotland Einion Gruffudd National Library of Wales John Stack Science Museum María R.
