SUMMARY:Antwerp DH Summer School 2023 - Computer-assisted genetic editing: from handwritten text recognition to keystroke logging
DESCRIPTION:Intensive 5-day entry level hands-on course on making digital editions of analogue and born-digital texts. In this course\, participants will acquire a set of basic computer skills such as XML and handwritten text recognition to design a TEI-compatible Digital Scholarly Edition and deploy keystroke logging technology to record and analyse born-digital texts.  \nRegistration information:\n\nEarly bird registration deadline: 10 April 2023.\nRegular registration deadline: 30 April 2023.\n\nFor more information and registration\, please visit the website. \npreliminary programme\nMONDAY | Introduction and Digital Scholarly Editing\nDigital Scholarly editing\, theory and practice\, HTR\, XML \nWe will start the week with the theoretical background of digital scholarly editing and handwritten text recognition. \nTUESDAY | Handwritten Text Recognition\nTranskribus\, TEI-XML \nOn the second day\, we will recap what we have learned about HTR\, and we will focus more specifically on the workflow in Transkribus. Then\, we will do a creative exercise: writing a short story by hand. This will be the material to work with during the day as we will run the HTR model to ‘transcribe’ your own handwriting. In the end\, we will export the results in TEI-XML. \nWEDNESDAY | Keystroke Logging\nInputlog\, keystroke logging\, TEI-XML \nOn the third day\, we will build upon the creative exercise of Tuesday: we will revise the short story on the computer and logging the writing process with a keystroke logger. We will then use these keystroke logging files to learn the basic technologies involved in making a (genetic) digital edition. As a first step\, we will encode all the textual operations (e.g.\, new text production\, additions\, deletions) in TEI-XML together with the timestamps of each operation. These XML files will be used the next day as we move on to the visualisation of the reconstructions of the digital writing processes. \nTHURSDAY | eXist-db\neXist-db app\, HTML\, CSS \nOn the fourth day\, we will learn the basics of working with eXist-db. After jointly installing eXist-db\, we will use a pre-made eXist-db application\, which can visualise the keystroke logging transcription. In the afternoon we will visit a museum. \nFRIDAY | Visualising Manuscripts and Born-Digital Writing Processes\nXPath\, XSLT\, HTML\, CSS \nOn the last day\, we will build upon what we have learned in the eXist-db session to visualise the writing process. We will learn the basics of XPath and XSLT as well as HTML and CSS\, to make modifications to the existing visualisation. We will end the day with a final discussion.

SUMMARY:Antwerp DH Summer School 2022: Genetic editing\, from manuscripts to born-digital writing processes
DESCRIPTION:Intensive 5-day entry level hands-on course on making digital editions of analogue and born-digital texts. In this course\, participants will acquire a set of basic computer skills to design a fully-fledged\, TEI-compatible Digital Scholarly Edition and deploy keystroke logging technology to record and analyse born-digital texts. \nRegistration information:\n\nEarly bird registration deadline: 15 March 2022.\nRegular registration deadline: 15 April 2022.\n\nFor more information and registration\, please visit the website. \nCourse description\nMONDAY | Introduction and Digital Scholarly Editing\nTEI theory and practice \nOn the first day\, we will learn about the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) as the de facto standard for annotating texts in the humanities. We will learn about how TEI relates to XML and related XML technologies and cover general principles such as well-formedness and validity. After a general introduction to XML and the TEI Guidelines\, we will learn how to annotate writing processes in TEI. All theoretical contents will be accompanied by practical encoding exercises. \nAt the end of the day\, Peter Stokes will present a keynote lecture. \nTUESDAY | Manuscript Web\nTEI Publication Environments\, Manuscript Web\, TEI\, CSS \nOn the second day\, we will learn how to turn text-genetic TEI annotations into web-based editions. After introducing workflows for custom-tailored web visualizations in XSLT\, we will look at pret-a-porter solutions. We will compare existing web publication environments for TEI-encoded text corpora and discuss their usability for text-genetic materials in specific. In a hands-on workshop\, we will use Manuscript Web\, a prototypical publication environment for genetic corpora developed in Antwerp\, to turn TEI documents into web-based scholarly editions. In the day’s final session we will form working groups and identify materials (small data sets) for small editions\, which the students will produce on day three. \nWEDNESDAY | Make Your Own Edition\nManuscript Web \nOn the third day\, we will apply the contents of the first two days to our own materials. The students will work individually or in teams on the dataset they chose on day two. The goal is to encode the materials in TEI and to publish them in a small-scale\, web-based edition. In the afternoon we will visit the Plantin-Moretus Museum.​ \nTHURSDAY | Logging and Encoding Born-Digital Writing Processes\nKeystroke Logging\, TEI-XML \nOn the fourth day\, we will start with a creative exercise: writing a short story and logging the writing process with a keystroke logger. We will then use these keystroke logging files to learn the basic technologies involved in making a (genetic) digital edition. As a first step\, we will encode all the textual operations (e.g.\, new text production\, additions\, deletions) in TEI-XML together with the timestamps of each operation. These XML files will be used the next day as we move on to the visualisation of the reconstructions of the digital writing processes. \nFRIDAY | Visualising Born-Digital Writing Processes\nXPath\, XSLT\, HTML\, CSS \nOn the last day\, we will start from the XML documents we developed in class\, and learn how we can prepare them for the web\, by transforming them into HTML through XSLT. We will do this using XPath expressions. This effort will result in a static visualisation of the writing process. We will learn the basics of CSS by modifying the visualisation. Having gained experience with XPath\, XSLT and HTML\, the XML files will later be uploaded in an environment provided by the instructors that allows for replaying the writing process as well. We will end the day with student presentations and a final discussion.

SUMMARY:Lecture Series: Magdalena Turska
DESCRIPTION:Magdalena Turska is a software developer and co-author of the TEI Publisher – a publication platform for TEI/XML corpora. She is a contributor to eXist-db project and since 2015 she is an elected member of the TEI Consortium’s Technical Council. As a DiXiT Marie Curie experienced researcher at IT Services\, University of Oxford she was a member of the TEI Simple project and one of the authors of the TEI Processing Model. Earlier she was a co-editor of the Corpus of Ioannes Dantiscus’ Texts and Correspondence. She works on various academic projects in Digital Humanities\, teaches advanced TEI encoding\, XSLT and XQuery and often helps projects with data modeling and application design. \nWhat does it take to publish an edition?\nWhat this talk is not\, is a lesson in textual scholarship. What it aims to be instead\, is a rough guide to the complicated interweave of standards\, technologies and logistical issues behind the publishing process\, and some advice on how to navigate this maze. We’ll then try to follow a chain of serendipitous events which eventually led to a proposal for an editors-first\, standards-always and community-foremost tool that was brought to life in the new version 5 of the TEI Publisher. I will talk about some projects that were our inspirations\, guinea pigs\, challenges and benefactors (usually all at once) and hope to discuss the future of editions with you! \nThis lecture is organized in conjunction with the UAntwerp’s Summer School on “Digital Humanities” Registration for the summer school itself has closed\, but attending the speaker’s keynote lecture is free and open to all. Please register by sending an email to platformdh@uantwerpen.be.

SUMMARY:Lecture Series: Huw Jones
DESCRIPTION:Huw Jones is Head of the Digital Library Unit and Digital Humanities Coordinator at Cambridge University Library\, working with researchers\, curators\, and technical staff to make the Library’s special collections accessible online. Cambridge Digital Library is our main platform for digital humanities\, containing more than 30\,000 items\, from the papers of Isaac Newton and Charles Darwin\, to manuscript and photograph collections representing the global scope of the Library’s physical collections. \nIIIF and Digital Humanities\nCambridge Digital Library has been supporting content-driven Digital Humanities projects since the online launch of the Isaac Newton papers in 2011\, covering everything from 3\,000 year-old Oracle Bones to aerial photography from the 1940s. In this talk\, I will explore some of the developments we have seen during this period – imaging as an investigative research activity\, digital resources as datasets\, the formalisation of digital humanities in Cambridge\, and the growing emphasis on collaboration in the field as a whole. In this context\, I will focus on IIIF as an open and collaborative technology which is having a huge impact not just on the technical possibilities for the sharing and analysis of image data\, but also on the culture of digital humanities. Finally I will look at what’s new in digital humanities\, and how a similar open and collaborative approach might open up new possibilities in new areas. \n\nThis lecture is organized in conjunction with the UAntwerp’s Summer School on “Digital Humanities” Registration for the summer school itself has closed\, but attending the speaker’s keynote lecture is free and open to all.

SUMMARY:Lecture Series: Verónica Romero Gómez
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Verónica Romero received the M.S. degree in Computer Science from “Universitat Politècnica de València (Spain)” (UPV) in 2005 and the Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from the same university in 2010. In 2005 she joined the Pattern Recognition and Human Language Technology group of the UPV where she has been working in several projects on Pattern Recognition and Handwritten Text Recognition. Her current fields of interest include pattern recognition\, multimodal interaction and applications to Handwritten Text Recognition and Digital Humanities. In these fields\, she has published more than 60 papers in journals\, conference proceedings and books. She is currently an active member of the EU project READ. Dr. Romero is a member of the Spanish Society for Pattern Recognition and Image Analysis (AERFAI) and the International Association for Pattern Recognition (IAPR) \nHuman-Computer Interaction for Handwritten Text Image Processing in Digital Humanities\nThe paradigm for Handwritten Text Image Processing systems design in Digital Humanities has been shifting from the concept of full-automation\, i.e.\, systems where no human intervention is assumed\, to systems where the decision process is affected by human feedback. One remarkable example where this feedback is successfully used is handwritten document transcrition. Human-Computer Interaction directly allows to improve system accuracy combining the accuracy of the human expert with the efficiency of the automatic system. In this talk we present an interactive-predictive handwritten text transcription system and real user cases where this technology has been successfully used. In addition\, some studies about different modalities for human feedback are introduced. This multimodality directly allows to increase systems ergonomy and user acceptability. Finally\, additional technologies related with image processing\, such as key word spotting will be introduced. \nThis lecture is organized in conjunction with the UAntwerp’s Summer School on “Digital Humanities: Processing and Analysing Images.” Registration for the summer school itself has closed\, but attending the speaker’s keynote lecture is free and open to all.

SUMMARY:Antwerp DH Summer School 2018: Processing and Analysing Images
DESCRIPTION:Whereas the Digital Humanities have traditionally had a strong orientation towards texts\, images have been rapidly gaining prominence in the field\, due to recent improvements in both computer hardware and software. Research increasingly goes beyond the mere digitisation of cultural artifacts and is exploring new ways of: \n\nopening up images to a larger audience through innovative protocols such as IIIF;\nanalysing image data through the use of advanced artificial intelligence;\nunderstanding handwritten textual documents\, whose contents have long remained inaccessible to computers.\n\nThis summer school offers an in-depth and hands-on curriculum to familiarise novice (digital) humanists with the state-of-the-art technologies that are nowadays available to researchers who take an active interest in ‘pixel-based’ artifacts in the Humanities. The tutorials will be given by established experts in their respective fields and will include the following topics: \n\nThe main descriptive mark-up protocols (including XML-TEI and ALTO-XML)\nThe IIIF protocol for making available images collection online (and its integration with content management platforms such as Omeka)\nModern methods (neural networks) from computer vision to analyse (e.g. classify) images.\nHandwritten Text Recognition (HTR) as an alternative to Optical Character Recognition (e.g. the Transkribus platform)\n\nEarly bird registration deadline: 30 April 2018. \nRegular registration deadline: 31 May 2018. \nFor more information\, please visit the Summer School’s website.

SUMMARY:Antwerp Summer Academy in DH 2016
DESCRIPTION:Demystifying Digitisation: A Hands-On Master Class in Text Digitisation \nThis two-day workshop will take place from 29 to 30 September 2016 at the University of Antwerp\, Belgium\, preceding the DiXiT + ESTS 2016  conference hosted at the same location. It offers the perfect opportunity for the conference’s participants and other interested scholars to become better acquainted with some of the main concerns that need to be addressed at the outset of both mass- and ad hoc digitisation projects.  \nThe core of the our programme exists of two half-day workshops on software packages that may help the researcher automate some aspects of the transcription process. The first will deal with ABBYY\, still one of the best software packages around for OCRing digitised print materials. Focusing on the software’s possible advantages and pitfalls\, this workshop will show the participants how to prepare their documents in order to achieve the best OCR results. The second workshop will introduce Transkribus\, a software package that has recently made great advancements in optically recognising characters in handwritten materials.  \nThe programme will be completed by 4 (interactive) sessions on related topics that will be organised around these workshops. Colleagues from the Ghent University Library will share their experience of taking part in the Google Books mass digitisation project to digitise their out-of-copyright books; Wout Dillen and Vincent Neyt and (UAntwerpen) will introduce the Manuscript Desk\, a Virtual Research Environment for transcribing textual documents into TEI compliant XML\, funded in the context of DARIAH-BE; Trudi Noordermeer (Antwerp University Library) will focus on issues related to developing a useful digitisation workflow; and Walter Scholger (Centre for Information Modelling – Austrian Centre for Digital Humanities\, University of Graz) will tell us what we are allowed to do with our digitised documents by focusing on Copyright issues and Internet Property Rights. \nThe entire program will be free of charge\, but registration is required. The workshops are limited to 20 participants each\, while the lectures will be opened up to the larger public. Participants are asked to bring their own corpus to the workshops\, consisting of scans of both printed and handwritten materials. The workshops do not demand any prerequisite skills\, but a basic knowledge of XML is considered a strong advantage.

SUMMARY:Antwerp Spring Academy in DH 2015
DESCRIPTION:Data Visualisation\nThis three-day workshop will take place from 10 to 12 June 2015  at the University of Antwerp\, Belgium\, following the DHBenelux 2015 conference hosted at the same location. It offers the perfect opportunity for the conference’s participants (and other interested scholars) to learn how to visualize their data in interesting new ways. \nThe workshop will be taught by the developers of NodeBox\, a data visualization tool created by the Experimental Media Research Group (EMRG). EMRG is a cross domain research group associated with the St. Lucas University College of Arts and Design  (Antwerp\, Belgium). During the works­hop\, partici­pants will learn  how to cap­ture\, prepare\, refine and visualize their data; gain insights in the theory of data visualisation; and start to look at data in a dif­ferent way. \nThe course is limited to 20 participants\, who will work on their own data in groups of two. No previous program­ming experience is required. To make the course run as smoothly as possible\, interested scholars are required to submit their application together with a partner scholar\, and to bring their own data set to use during the work­shop. \nSince places for the workshop are limited (i.e. we can only accommodate 10 pairs of scholars)\, a first selection of applicants will be made on the basis of the quality of their applications. Still\, early registration is highly recommended. \nExamples of suitable datasets include (but are not limited to): linguistic corpora\, literary texts\, historical documents\, geographical data\, and numerical data sets. Please bring your data in easily accessible formats such as plain text files\, XML\, CSV (comma-separated values)\, or spreadsheet files. \nCall for Applications\n\nTo participate in the workshop\, please fill in the application form before 30 April 2015.\nIf you are ad­mitted to the works­hop\, you will be noti­fied by email. Enroll­ment will be con­firmed only following the pay­ment of the partici­pation fee of € 100. Payment by wire transfer before 1 June 2015.\n\nParticipation Fee\nThe partici­pation fee for the Spring Academy in­cludes three days of instruc­tion together with lunches and cof­fee breaks. All parti­cipants are expec­ted to arrange for their own accom­modation. Parti­cipants are expec­ted to bring their own lap­top. \nSchedule\nMorning sessions: 9h30 to 12h30\nAfternoon sessions: 13h30 to 16h30 \nThe participation fee includes coffee breaks and lunch breaks\, provided by Agora Café (which is located in the same building). \nTeachers\nFrederik De Bleser\nFrederik De Bleser is a researcher in the arts at Sint Lucas Antwerpen\, studying the link between computers and art. He and the EMRG research team are the creators of NodeBox. The goal of his doctorate is to research the impact of procedural graphics applications such as NodeBox on graphic designers. \nLieven Menschaert\nLieven holds a bachelor degree in social sciences and a master degree in new media. He teaches at the Sint Lucas School of Arts (Antwerp\, BE) and the MAD faculty (Genk\, BE). He has been giving NodeBox classes since 2006 and is an EMRG member since 2007. He has an interest in design\, electronics and physical computing. \nStefan Gabriëls\nStefan Gabriëls joined the Experimental Media Research Group in 2009. He holds a bachelor degree in software engineering and is studying for a master degree in arts. He has a vivid interest in computer graphics and illustration. He is the co-author of NodeBox 3. \nSupport Staff\nThomas Crombez\nThomas Crombez is lecturer in Philosophy of Art and Theatre History at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts (Antwerp)\, and at Sint Lucas Antwerp. As a member of the research group ArchiVolt\, he focuses on the history of avant-garde and performance art.

SUMMARY:Antwerp Spring Academy in DH 2014
DESCRIPTION:Python\nOrganizing committee: \n\nMike Kestemont (mike.kestemont@uantwerpen.be)\nThomas Crombez (thomas.crombez@uantwerpen.be)\nWalter Daelemans\nDirk Van Hulle\n\nThe target audience con­sists of (early-stage) resear­chers in the Humani­ties\, who wish to apply digi­tal methods in their own re­search prac­tice but who\, so far\, have had little or no signi­ficant initia­tion to the use of digi­tal methods. \nThe focus is on text analysis using the popu­lar scrip­ting language Python\, which is rapidly becoming the standard program­ming language for computa­tional text ana­lysis in digi­tal Humani­ties. \nCovered topics include: \n\nbasic text proces­sing tasks\nusing text-mining tool­kits such as Pattern and NLTK\napplications of text proces­sing (e.g.\, sentiment mining\, topic classi­fication\, auto­matic clustering)\nXML parsing (e.g.\, TEI-XML) in Python\n\nFor the work­shop\, the instruc­tors will make use of a so-called Python note­book – a success­ful and enga­ging teaching for­mat. Python notebooks are a course book and coding ‘sandbox’ at once. Experience with previous EADH and DARIAH-DE Summer Schools in Nijmegen and Göttingen has shown that this format is extremely engaging for resear­chers who have had no signi­ficant expo­sure to digi­tal methods yet. \nThe fol­lowing team of dynamic and experien­ced Python instruc­tors have kindly con­firmed their partici­pation in the inten­sive full-week teaching pro­gram: \n\nFolgert Karsdorp (Meertens Institute)\, one of the Python instruc­tors in the Nijmegen Spring School\nMatthew Munson (University of Göttingen)\, DARIAH-DE\, orga­nizer of the Göttingen Summer School\nTom De Smedt (Sint Lucas Ant­werpen College of Art)\, main developer of the Pattern package for Python and experien­ced Python instruc­tor\n\nThe partici­pation fee for the Spring Academy is 100 euros\, and in­cludes five days of instruc­tion together with lunches and cof­fee breaks. The work­shop takes place on the City Cam­pus of the Univer­sity of Ant­werp\, which is loca­ted in the histo­rical city centre. All parti­cipants are expec­ted to arrange for their own accom­modation. We can waive the partici­pation fee for two appli­cants\, but we are unable to cover travel expen­ses. Resear­chers who wish to apply for the fee waiver should in­clude a brief motiva­tion. \nParti­cipants are expec­ted to bring their own lap­top. Instal­lation instruc­tions will follow short­ly before the work­shop starts. Previous expe­rience in program­ming or statis­tics is not required. \nPlease apply by sen­ding your cv to Mike Kestemont (mike.kestemont@uantwerpen.be) before 21 February 2014. Applica­tions will be accep­ted on a first-come\, first-served basis. \nSponsored by EADH\, the European Association for Digi­tal Humani­ties and by the Departments of Literature and Linguistics of the University of Antwerp.
