        Subject: ACM Volumes on Dijkstra and Hoare

ACM is having books produced on Turing Laureates - the most recent (I
think) is on Edsger Dijkstra:
https://dl.acm.org/doi/book/10.1145/3544585

Coupled with that on Tony Hoare:
https://dl.acm.org/doi/book/10.1145/3477355

a whole resource of material on “formal methods” is available

        Subject: Publication: unexpected synergies

Molecular processes, Auschwitz-Birkenau, gender, and oral history, how are
they related?

Read our recently published paper and learn about unexpected synergies
between physics, history, computer science, and narratology:

Toth et al., Studying Large-Scale Behavioral Differences in
Auschwitz-Birkenau with Simulation of Gendered Narratives, Digital
Humanities Quarterly 16:3,

Call for Presentations: Digital Publishing for the Humanities – New
Technologies and Ideas
Rome, 18-19 October 2022

In recent years, digital publishing has increasingly acquired relevance in
the Humanities. This is particularly the case for critical editions, which,
notably when compared to print editions, can now profit from the
flexibility of XML with TEI tag suite, full-text or faceted search
functionalities, semantic annotations, named entity recognition and
continuous improvement.

The use of cognitive computing techniques based on Artificial Intelligence
for e.g. machine learning-based classification and natural language
processing, is making the transcription of sources and annotation of texts
easier. Several cutting-edge projects are continuously being developed and
made available, however, their outreach and impact is often limited by lack
of awareness of such advancements by research groups which, due to the
limitations of established collaboration networks, lack of institutional
guidance and other factors, miss out on the achievements by fellow scholars.

The aim of this conference is to gather accounts of different experiences
with integrating the use of cognitive computing in the production of
digital publications - particularly addressing TEI-XML as target format. It
is intended as a venue for participants to share their insights into
technological improvements, proposals for methodological
advancements, innovations in editorial workflows and possibly novel models
for them.

Topics we would like to discuss include but are not limited to

   -   Text recognition and neural machines: how to get better sources
   -   Conversion workflows, from scans to structured transcriptions
   -   FAIR linked publications workflows and usability considerations
   -   Critical digital editions and digital reprints in TEI
   -   Annotations and machine annotations
   -   References extraction and cross references
   -   Online publishing for TEI editions

Organizing Committee:

Alessandro Adamou, Bibliotheca Hertziana Max Planck Institute for Art
History

Elisa Bastianello, Bibliotheca Hertziana Max Planck Institute for Art
History

Christine Grundig, Kunsthistorisches Institut & Digital History Lab,
University of Zurich
Call for presentations:

Please submit your proposal for a 20-minute presentation  (title and a max
500 words abstract) to call@humanitiesconnect.pub
<call@humanitiesconnect.pub?subject=DP4H%20Presentation%20Proposal> by
September 5th, 2022.

The conference is planned in hybrid mode (in presence and in streaming),
but if conditions allow it, a local presence will be desirable.

Extended abstracts of selected presentations will be published open access
after the congress (details to be defined).
