Dear all,
On behalf of the Committee for Digital Resources of the International
Association for Neo-Latin Studies I would like to draw your attention to
the CFP for papers for special sessions on Digital Technology and
Neo-Latin Studies at the 2025 IANLS congress in Aix-en-Provence which
you can find at
https://ianls.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Call-for-papers-Aix_Digital-
Committee.pdf
We are looking for proposals related to the use of digital technology in
original Neo-Latin research, as well as project presentations (which
could also be presented as posters). The topics may include, but are not
limited to
* digital collections of Neo-Latin texts and related media
* broader digitally-driven projects containing Neo-Latin material
* digital tools developed specifically for Neo-Latin or adapted to it
* digital editions: challenges and best practices
* quantitative analysis performed by using digital technology
* historical network analysis
* Neo-Latin and Linked Open Data
* employing or extending general web resources (e.g. Wikidata) for
Neo-Latin studies
* use of new visualization tools for presenting the results of the
research
* digital tools for teaching Neo-Latin
* meta-studies, i.e. synthesizing the progress in digital Neo-Latin
studies and how it changes the research community
You are welcome to send your abstracts (150-200 words) to Šime Demo
(sdemo@fhs.unizg.hr) by 15 April 2024.
Best
Alexander Winkler
Committee for Digital Resources, IANLS

Second call for papers for the LREC-COLING2024 pre-conference workshop:
Holocaust Testimonies as Language Resources
Date: 21 May 2024 (full day)
Venue:Lingotto Conference Centre, Turin, Italy
Webpage: https://www.clarin.eu/HTRes2024
Submission Deadline: 21 February 2024
Submission Portal:https://softconf.com/lrec-coling2024/htres2024/

Workshop description
Holocaust testimonies serve as a bridge between survivors and history’s
darkest chapters, providing a connection to the profound experiences of
the past. Testimonies stand as the primary source of information that
describe the Holocaust, offering first-hand accounts and personal
narratives of those who experienced it. The majority of testimonies are
captured in an oral format, as survivors vividly explain and share their
personal experiences and observations from that time period.
Transforming Holocaust testimonies into a machine-processable digital
format can be a difficult task owing to the unstructured nature of the
text. The creation of accessible, comprehensive, and well-annotated
Holocaust testimony collections is of paramount importance to our
society. These collections empower researchers and historians to
validate the accuracy of socially and historically significant
information, enabling them to share critical insights and trends derived
from these data. This workshop will investigate a number of ways in
which techniques and tools from natural language processing and corpus
linguistics can contribute to the exploration, analysis, dissemination
and preservation of Holocaust testimonies.
The workshop is supported by CLARIN and EHRI.
We expect contributions related to the following topics:
Creation of datasets and development of tools for the study of Holocaust
testimonies:
* Creation of language corpora of Holocaust testimonies
* Digitization and enhancement of oral and written testimonies
(including automatic speech recognition, alignment of text and
speech, format conversion, OCR, handwriting recognition, machine
translation)
* Named entity recognition for identifying people, places, and events
in testimonies
* Standards, representation formats, and guidelines for annotations
and vocabularies relevant to the Holocaust testimonies
* Creation, adaptation and tuning of software applications for the
creation, annotation, enhancement and use of Holocaust testimonies
as language resources
* Research usingand Holocaust testimonies
o Applications of NLP in analysing Holocaust survivor testimonies
o Sentiment analysis and emotional content extraction from
survivor narratives.
* Data Visualisation, Knowledge Representation and Information
Extraction:
o Visualising complex data structures from Holocaust testimonies
o Building knowledge graphs and networks to represent historical
relationships
o Interactive data visualisations for education and research
o Extracting biographical and temporal information relevant to the
Holocaust
o Deep learning and large language models
* Digital Archiving and Long-Term Preservation:
o Methods and tools for digitising and preserving Holocaust
testimonies
o Best practices for metadata standards and cataloguing
o Ensuring long-term accessibility and data integrity
* Ethical Considerations and Privacy
o Ethical challenges in digitising and sharing sensitive testimonies
o Anonymisation and privacy protection in Holocaust data
o Community engagement and consent in digital projects
* User and application aspects
o Development of tools and interfaces for the search, analysis and
exploration of Holocaust testimonies
o Other relevant use cases and application scenarios
All papers must clearly state and explain their relevance to the topic
of 'Holocaust Testimonies as Language Resources'.
