        Subject: HTRC TORCHLITE Hackathon Call for Applications

[Da: Janet Swatscheno <jswatsch@hathitrust.org>]

Are you a researcher or programmer interested in working with HathiTrust
Digital Library data? Do you have experience in working with text analysis
or data visualization? The HathiTrust Research Center’s “Tools for Open
Research and Computation with HathiTrust: Leveraging Intelligent Text
Extraction” (TORCHLITE) project can help!

HTRC is pleased to announce a call for applications to participate in our
TORCHLITE Hackathon, taking place May 21-23, 2024 at the I Hotel and
Conference Center in Champaign, Illinois. Those selected to participate
will receive up to $1000 in travel and accommodation reimbursement.

The TORCHLITE project leverages HTRC’s new Extracted Features API. The
Extracted Features API allows programmatic access to metadata and annotated
token data (aggregated at the page level) for more than 17 million volumes
from the HathiTrust Digital Library collection, including in-copyright
material.

We’re looking for both programmers and subject matter experts in the
humanities, social sciences, and other disciplines. Please read the full
call for applications (https://htrc.github.io/torchlite-hackathon/cfp) for
more information and to apply (https://forms.gle/XgVj4nUsBWYnQmqEA) by
March 1st.

The “Tools for Open Research and Computation with HathiTrust: Leveraging
Intelligent Text Extraction (TORCHLITE)” project is generously funded by
the U.S. National Endowment for the Humanities, Grant no. HAA-284850-22.
