SUMMARY:Lecture Series: Jeroen De Gussem
DESCRIPTION:Jeroen De Gussem has a master’s degree in philology (Latin-English)\, and is a joint PhD student on the BOF  project “Collaborative Authorship in Twelfth Century Latin Literature: A Stylometric Approach to Gender\, Synergy and Authority” (2015-2019)\, supervised by prof. dr. Mike Kestemont (UAntwerp)\, prof. dr. Jeroen Deploige (Ghent University) and prof. dr. Wim Verbaal (Ghent University). The project seeks to reassess the collaborative process by which twelfth-century Latin prose authors such as Bernard of Clairvaux\, Hildegard of Bingen\, Peter Abelard and Suger of St. Denis were accustomed to compose their works by using computational stylistics\, an increasingly popular field within Digital Humanities. \nThe Exalted Expert vs. The Exact Experiment: Authorship Attribution\, Stylometry and Literary Theory.\nIn his presentation\, Jeroen will confront traditional methods of authorship attribution with more recent computational methods for determining the authorship of a text. How does “distant reading” (as coined by Franco Moretti) teach us anything about literature and the way in which it is composed? Can computational formalism (or perhaps computational stylistics) capture “style” by focusing on a so-called “stylome”\, a collection of features in an authors’ personal language use which can be quantified as data and visualized in attractive figures? Where does computational stylistics succeed where traditional stylistics have failed\, and vice versa? Are computational stylistics as “objective” (or “unsupervised”) as they purport to be\, or do our results only reflect the answers we were hoping to find? \nIn meandering through such questions\, it becomes clear that – although they seem very different at the outset – the “exalted expert” from historical text editing and literary theory is but little different to the “exact experiment”. Yet\, both methods serve a distinctive purpose and deserve their respective position within literary theory. \nAttending the event is free and open to all\, but registration is required.

SUMMARY:Lecture Series: Wido van Peursen
DESCRIPTION:Wido van Peursen is professor at VU University and the initiator of the award-winning SHEBANQ project. \nA Statistical Approach to Syntactic Variation. The Case of the Hebrew Bible.\nIn his talk\, Wido van Peursen shows how combining traditional scholarship with a computational approach permits us to explore linguistic variation in the Hebrew Bible or Old Testament from new perspectives. The Old Testament provides a diverse and most compelling field of study. It has a complex composition history that\, according to many scholars\, stretches out over a period of more than a millennium. Naturally\, this corpus of texts presents a great linguistic diversity. For long\, researchers have attempted to understand and explain this diversity in all its facets. The promising results of quantitative methods show once more how Digital Humanities can provide a major contribution to an ongoing discussion; respecting\, but also improving an honourable scholarly tradition. \n\nparticipants: 13 \nDownload slideshow

SUMMARY:Lecture Series: Erik Kwakkel
DESCRIPTION:Leiden\, University Library\, 583\, printed work (16th century) with medieval fragments inside (12th century) – Photo Erik Kwakkel \nDr. Erik Kwakkel  is a lecturer and researcher in medieval paleography and codicology at Leiden University.  \nSomething Old\, Something New: Medieval Manuscripts and Digital Research Methods.\nIn this talk\, Erik Kwakkel shows how the study of medieval manuscripts can benefit from a digital approach. He presents two case studies: 1) How medieval script is studied in a quantified manner\, using modest statistical research; 2) How MA-XRF\, an x-ray technique\, enables us to look inside early-modern bookbindings\, revealing (and reading) medieval fragments that are hiding inside. These two examples will be taken as representatives of two common types of Digital Humanities research: one using digital techniques to do traditional research more efficiently\, the other producing results that could not be gained in traditional research.

SUMMARY:Lecture Series: Greta Franzini
DESCRIPTION:Greta Franzini is a full-time Researcher at the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science at the University of Göttingen\, and also a completing PhD student at University College London. She is a Classicist by training and conducts interdisciplinary research in the fields of (Digital) Classics and Natural Language Processing. (See also: http://gretafranzini.com/). \nText Reuse\, Digital Breadcrumbs and Historical Data\nIn her talk\, Greta Franzini will discuss the case studies and activities of eTRAP. This project investigates the phenomenon of text reuse in order to advance automatic detection on historical data. Historical texts pose numerous challenges to automatically detect reuse. These challenges are\, among others\, the fragmentary survival of works\, inconsistent referencing\, but also the diachronic evolution of language. Unlike modern texts\, where sources are consistently quoted and cited\, historical texts are not always so transparent\, thus opening up exciting opportunities for intertextual research.

SUMMARY:Lecture Series: Elien Vernackt
DESCRIPTION:Elien Vernackt graduated in 2011 as Master of Arts in History at Ghent University. Her master thesis was about Bruges on the map of Marcus Gerards\, under the guidance of promoter Prof. Dr. Jan Dumolyn. Since then she has been working on the MAGIS Bruges-project for almost five years. The first year she worked for KU Leuven\, after that for Musea Bruges (more specifically Bruges museum and vzw Kenniscentrum). Elien is responsible for the further technical and content- wise development of MAGIS Bruges\, the volunteers that help with database entry and she also contributes to the redesigning of the Gruuthusemuseum. \nThe MAGIS Bruges Project\nThe sixteenth-century map of Bruges by Marcus Gerards has appealed to our imagination for centuries\, and researchers use it regularly to illustrate their publications on a variety of subjects. The MAGIS Bruges-project has made the map fully accessible in a digital environment. What is more\, the map is embedded in an extensive database that offers a significant amount of information on (late-)medieval Bruges. The MAGIS Bruges project fits perfectly within the idea of Digital Humanities for a number of reasons. First\, setting up such a project requires a number of collaborations and a healthy dose of patience. The conversion of this scientific database to an instrument for a larger public requires quite a different approach. On the one hand\, academics are increasingly searching for new digital ways to publish their research results to a broad audience. On the other hand\, public-oriented institutions such as museums feel the need to profile themselves on an academic level. MAGIS Bruges aims to respond to this double trend by reconciling the requirements of both the academic and the public-oriented institutions. In this lecture\, Elien Vernackt discusses the entire MAGIS Bruges project prior to the development of the database and the map application. She talks about the different ways in which this project is accomplished technically as well as content-wise\, and which collaborations were established in the process.

SUMMARY:DiXiT 3 / ESTS 2016
DESCRIPTION:Digital Scholarly Editing: Theory\, Practice\, Methods\n  \nThis thirteenth annual conference of the European Society for Textual Scholarship (ESTS)\, is organized in conjunction with the Digital Scholarly Editing Initial Training Network (DiXiT) and hosted by the Centre for Manuscript Genetics at the University of Antwerp\, Belgium. \n5-7 October 2016 \nKeynote speakers: \nKathryn Sutherland and Paul Eggert \nGuests of honour: \nHans Walter Gabler and Peter Shillingsburg \nAs digital publications are reaching a stage of maturity and scholarly editors are becoming increasingly aware of the seemingly endless possibilities of hybrid or fully Digital Scholarly Editions\, the impact of the digital medium on the field of Textual Criticism has become undeniable. As a result of this ‘digital turn’\, textual scholars are now faced with new challenges and opportunities that have called for a re-evaluation of the field’s established theoretical and practical framework. For the thirteenth annual conference of the European Society for Textual Scholarship (ESTS)\, organized in association with the Digital Scholarly Editing Initial Training Network ‘DiXiT’\, we intend to face this new direction in textual scholarship head-on\, by focussing on the recent developments in textual scholarship that are instigated by this reassessment of the theories\, practices\, and methods of scholarly editing in general\, and of the Digital Scholarly Edition (DSE) in particular.

SUMMARY:Digital Scholarly Editing and Textual Criticism
DESCRIPTION:Pre-conference workshop of the DiXiT 3 / ESTS 2016 conference\, organised by DiXiT\, hosted by the Centre for Manuscript Genetics at the University of Antwerp. \nAbstract\nThe production of digital critical editions is a crucial issue for anyone working on texts written in pre-modern times\, philologists\, historians\, philosophers etc. Yet\, there are many different practices\, and concepts behind the digital representation of a critical apparatus are difficult to grasp. Besides\, there are still very little tools supporting the creation and processing of digital critical editions. \nThe workshop includes talks and presentations by philologists and DH specialists introducing and discussing the very nature of critical editions as well as the digital representation of a critical apparatus. Furthermore\, the state-of-the-art in terms of automatic collation tools and methods for processing and publishing digital critical editions will be assessed. \nSCHEDULE/PROGRAMME\n11.00 Welcome coffee\, Opening \n11.15-11.45 Caroline Macé – Jost Gippert: What type of (digital) scholarly edition for what type of textual tradition?\n11.45-12.15 Armin Hoenen: Digital Stemmatological tools\n12.15-12:35 Catherine Smith: Introducing the collation editor\n12.35-13.15 Klaus Wachtel\, Marcello Perathoner: Towards a global stemma of the Greek New Testament textual tradition: Methodological approach\, technological issues and solutions \n13.15 Lunch \n14.15-14.45 Gioele Barabucci\, Franz Fischer: CollateX and the formalization of textual Criticism – Bridging the gap between automated collation and edited critical texts\n14.45-15.15 Marjorie Burghart\, The TEI Critical Apparatus Toolbox: User-Empowerment with the TEI\n15.15-15.45 Roberto Rosselli del Turco\, tba \n15:45-16:00 Coffee break \n16.00-16.30 Discussion

SUMMARY:Complexities of Project Logistics
DESCRIPTION:Pre-conference workshop of the DiXiT 3 / ESTS 2016 conference\, organised by DiXiT\, hosted by the Centre for Manuscript Genetics at the University of Antwerp. \nABSTRACT\nTypically\, editorial projects – digital or non-digital – get funding for a limited time span\, and that time span is usually not sufficient to edit and publish the source or body of sources that the project set out to publish. Often\, more funding will be sought\, but\, as technology and time have moved on\, and as one can’t reasonably just repeat the first grant application\, the focus of a follow-up project will be slightly different. In a third step\, one may ask for a neighbouring source collection to be included in the project\, or a new tool added to the collection\, dependent on what funders at that moment in time seem willing to support. \nProjects may end up with multiple collections and datasets\, digitized according to multiple standards using multiple (sometimes obsolete) technologies. Some may have started out on paper\, and have ridden the waves of databases\, HTML\, CD-ROM\, XML\, mass digitisation approaches and Linked open data. Even projects that have consistently worked within a TEI framework may have had to ingest documents that use different TEI dialects. These technological complexities may be increased by constraints in overall planning and everyday workflow\, including time and budget management\, especially if there are cross-institutional collaborations\, interdependencies on deliverables\, strict deadlines\, staff mobility etc. The workshop will discuss these and other complexities of project logistics. \nSPEAKERS\n\nPeter Boot (Huygens ING): workshop organiser\nThomas Stäcker (Herzog August Bibliothek): Fighting the Digital Quicksand – The Role of Research Libraries in Building up Reliable and Sustainable Infrastructures for Digital Editions.\nRik Hoekstra (Huygens ING): Changing editing policies of the States General of the United Dutch Provinces (1576-1796).\nJan Burgers (Huygens ING): Editing medieval charters in the digital age.\nMartine de Bruin (Meertens Institute): tba.\nAnna-Maria Sichani (Huygens ING) and James Smithies (Kings Digital Lab): Designing a Sustainable Future: An approach to the Assessment\, Archiving and Preservation of Digital Projects.

SUMMARY:The Born Digital Record of the Writing Process: Discussing Concepts of Representation for the Digital Scholarly Edition
DESCRIPTION:Pre-conference workshop of the DiXiT 3 / ESTS 2016 conference\, taught by Thorsten Ries (UGent)\, hosted by the Centre for Manuscript Genetics at the University of Antwerp. \nABSTRACT\nIn its first part\, the workshop gives a hands-on introduction to digital forensic analysis of hard drives for born digital traces of the writing process with different constructed case scenarios. The hands-on experience serves as a foundation for a moderated group discussion about how the specific materiality of the digital historical record can be read in philological terms of the critique génétique\, how this changes our ideas about text production and consequently the requirements and understanding of representation of the genetic digital born record in a documentary / genetic DSE. \nThe hands-on workshop will introduce participating archivists\, philologists and researchers from the humanities into forensic imaging of hard drives\, inspection and analysis of forensic images. Two phases of analysis of the process will be covered during the workshop: a) forensic imaging\, triage and preservation of hard drives in the archive and b) philological recovery of textual versions of a writing process from a digital forensic image (mounting\, inspection of temporary files\, undelete\, file carving\, drive slack analysis\, timeline analysis\, grep) and by low-level inspection of files (fast save artifacts\, RSID-tags). Depending on participants’ interest other scenarios\, e.g. cloud services\, can also be addressed. To avoid legal issues\, participants will work with forensic images created for this workshop’s training purposes with Christian Moch’s Forensig forensic image generator (Moch 2009\, Moch Freiling 2009). \nLEVEL\nThe workshop aims at an audience with average user skills\, e.g. archivists with no or little prior knowledge of forensic computing. \nPRACTICAL\nThe participants are required to bring their own laptop\, with forensic software installed before the start of the workshop. More information on how to install which software will be provided to registered participants.

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.

SUMMARY:Lecture Series: Sabine Lenk and Nele Wynants
DESCRIPTION:Sabine Lenk\nSabine Lenk is a postdoctoral researcher at University of Antwerp (Research Centre For Visual Poetics) in the international project “A Million Pictures: Magic Lantern Slides Heritage in the Common European History of Learning” on popular visual culture and performativity in the 19th century. She worked for film and television archives in Belgium\, France\, Luxembourg\, UK\, and the Netherlands. From 1999-2007\, she was the director of the Filmmuseum Düsseldorf (Germany). Together with Frank Kessler and Martin Loiperdinger she is a co-founder and co-editor of KINtop. Jahrbuch zur Erforschung des frühen Films\, KINtop Schriften and KINtop – Studies in Early Cinema. She has widely published on film archiving\, cinema museology and early cinema. \nDigitizing magic lantern slides: problems\, challenges\, possibilities\nIn the EU financed research project “A Million Pictures” one of the objectives is to make available magic lantern slides through the database Lucerna. We scan slides held in collection of museums and archives such as the Museum of Contemporary Arts (MuHKA) in Antwerp which keeps the collection of Robert Vrielynck\, a solicitor from Brugge and founder of the Belgisch Animatiefilm Centrum. \nThe scanning of slides and slide sets is challenging because a three dimensional object has to be transformed into two or more two-dimensional images to document it. In the presentation I will address the problems that the digitization of physical objects such as lantern slides\, but also films pose. A digital file can’t replace the physical object but it opens ways of access that were inconceivable only fifteen years ago. Historians working with this material however will have to take into account the specific characteristics of digital documents and therefore need to understand how they have been produced. I will discuss possible procedures of source critic when working with such documents. \nNele Wynants\nNele Wynants is a postdoctoral researcher at the Université libre de Bruxelles (THEA Joint Research Group) and the University of Antwerp (Research Centre for Visual Poetics). She graduated in Art History\, Performance and Media Arts (UGent) and obtained a PhD in Theatre studies and Intermediality (UAntwerp). Her current project “The Optics of Performance” aims to historicize concepts and practices of intermedial theatre by focusing on the interplay of performance\, science and technology in theatre and media history. In 2015 she was a visiting scholar at Université Paris 3 (LIRA\, Laboratoire International de Recherches en Arts) where she conducted archival research on scientific theatre in the 19th century. She is involved in “A Million Pictures”\, a European project on the magic lantern as European cultural heritage\, and she is a member of “Spectacular Astronomy”\, a research network of theatre scholars and historians of science from Paris\, Utrecht and Strasbourg. She is editor in chief of Forum+ For Research and Arts\, and published several articles on contemporary artists working at the intersection of theater\, film and media arts. \nThe Legacy of the Lantern. Artistic Reuse of an Old Apparatus\nThe magic lantern was the most important technology of visual entertainment and means of education across nineteenth-century Europe. Initially mainly used for scientific\, educational and popular purposes\, this early projection device quickly found its way into the theatre. This talk will discuss how the artistic reuse of old lanterns can today function as a creative tool to revive its important cultural heritage. More particularly in the context of the project A Million Pictures\, we consider the digitization of a collection of magic lantern slides as a starting point for creative re-use of lantern slides for both artistic and educational purposes. \nOn the occasion of an upcoming workshop on this topic\, organized by the Research Centre for Visual Poetics (27-39 October 2016)\, film artist Sarah Vanagt was invited to develop a project inspired by the magic lantern slides and projectors in the Vrielynck collection. Vanagt will set up an exhibition at the Antwerp Museum for Contemporary Art (M HKA)\, displaying original lanterns and slides next to her own contemporary lantern film\, developed for the occasion. Instead of an explicit remake of this old apparatus or a historically informed re-enactment of a Galantee show\, Van Agt opts for a more subtle\, theatrical reuse of the magic lantern in which she reflects on media history\, concepts of vision and the role of media in our contemporary moment. I will discuss how she thus proposes a media archaeological perspective on magic lantern shows. This archaeology is understood less as the discovery of a forgotten past than as the establishment of an active relationship between past and present.

SUMMARY:Managing Historical Data in MS Access
DESCRIPTION:Workshop hosted by the Vrije Universiteit\, Brussel\, and sponsored by the DHu.F (among others).  \nThe workshop is a training course full of tips and tricks for collecting and analysing historical data in a Microsoft Access database. This unique workshop will tackle specific database problems concerning historical data: different spellings of proper names\, missing data\, managing chronology\, variations in currency systems etc. \nThe workshop is divided into two parts: a beginners course (taking place on Monday and Tuesday 25-26 April) will introduce the key elements to design a basic but ‘bulletproof’ database as a research tool. A subsequent  b (taking place on Wednesday and Thursday 27-28 April) will concentrate on the possibilities of Access for analysis of historical data and will address specific research issues. The latter also includes ‘clinics’ for specific problems\, difficulties or issues with Access which individual participants encountered in their own research. Each course is capped off by a guest lecture open to all. \nThe lecturer for both courses is dr. Mark Merry\, affiliated with the Institute of Historical Research at the University of London. He has about ten years of experience with developing relation databases for projects with historical data and is also the lecturer of the famous courses “Databases for Historians I and II” in London. \nWho can apply and what are the costs?\nThe workshop is open to PhD-students\, postdoctoral researchers and senior researchers working with historical data. Please note that places are limited to 25 participants in the beginners course and 25 participants in the advanced course. In each course there are 5 slots reserved per participating university (KU Leuven\, UAntwerpen\, UGent and VUB). \nA small fee of € 20 per participant per course covers the cost of copies\, coffee breaks and a sandwich lunch at noon each day. Tuition itself is free\, thanks to generous funding from Digital Humanities Flanders\, the Flemish Government’s OJO (“Omkadering Jonge Onderzoekers”)\, and additional support by various institutions. \nHow to apply? \nPlease fill in the registration form at http://goo.gl/forms/RKVUW5FMTx  \nRegistrations will be possible starting of the 23rd March at 9:00 AM. Your attendance will be determined on a first come\, first served basis. Although you can apply for both courses\, priority for the advanced session will be given to candidates only applying for the advanced course. Once all spots are filled\, registration will be closed and confirmations will be sent. Please note that sufficient proficiency with Access is obliged when applying for the advanced course! \nThe deadline for application is Sunday 10th April 2016.

SUMMARY:Lecture Series: Folgert Karsdorp
DESCRIPTION:Folgert Karsdorp is a PhD candidate at the Meertens Institute in Amsterdam\, The Netherlands\, where he is involved in the Tunes & Tales project. He is affiliated with Radboud University and the eHumanities Group of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW). His research interests lie in computational text analysis in the context of ethnology\, anthropology\, literary theory and cultural evolution. See also www.folgertkarsdorp.nl. \nFrom Rapacious Wolfs to Independent Women: Cultural Transmission of Little Red Riding Hood\nIn his lecture\, Folgert Karsdorp presents new perspectives on the structure and development of story networks. A story network\, defined as a non-hierarchical agglomeration of pre-textual relationships\, represents a stream of retellings in which retellers modify and adapt retellings in a gradual and accumulative way. I investigate the development of the world’s biggest fairy tale icon: Little Red Riding Hood. No story has been retold\, reinterpreted\, recontextualized and reconfigured as often as the story about the little girl in red who meets a wolf in the forest. On the basis of a large collection of Dutch retellings of the story\, I show that the evolution of its story network is largely determined by two random mechanisms of selection: cultural prominence and temporal attractiveness.

SUMMARY:Lecture Series: Benno Stein
DESCRIPTION:Benno Stein is chair of the Web-Technology and Information Systems Group at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar. His research focuses on modeling and solving data- and knowledge-intensive information processing tasks. He has developed algorithms and tools for information retrieval\, data mining\, knowledge processing\, as well as for engineering design and simulation (patents granted). For several achievements of his research he has been awarded with scientific and commercial prizes. He serves on scientific boards\, as reviewer in various relevant conferences and journals\, and is the initiator and a co-chair of PAN\, an excellence network and evaluation lab on text forensics with focus on authorship analysis\, profiling\, and reuse detection. He is cofounder and spokesman of the forthcoming Digital Bauhaus Lab Weimar\, an interdisciplinary research lab for Computer Science\, Media\, and Engineering. He is also cofounder (1996) and scientific director of the Art Systems Software Ltd\, a world leading company for simulation technology in fluidic engineering. \nProfessional background: Study at the University of Karlsruhe (1984-1989). Dissertation (1995) and Habilitation (2002) in computer science at the University of Paderborn. Appointment as a full professor for Web Technology and Information Systems at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar (2005). Research stays at IBM\, Germany\, and the International Computer Science Institute\, Berkeley. \nApplying Heuristic Search Technology for Constrained Paraphrasing\nTo paraphrase means to rewrite content whilst preserving the original meaning. Paraphrasing is important in fields such as text reuse in journalism\, anonymising work\, and improving the quality of customer-written reviews\, among other. Paraphrasing is often considered as an analysis problem – asking the following question: Are these two sentences (paragraphs) paraphrases? \nIn our talk we will take the synthesis view and consider the problem of automatically paraphrasing a text. To illustrate both the principles and the potential of our approach we consider the reformulation of a given text such that the text contains an – also given – acrostic. A text contains an acrostic\, if the first letters of a range of consecutive lines form a word or phrase. Our approach turns this paraphrasing task into an optimization problem: we use various existing and also new paraphrasing techniques as operators applicable to intermediate versions of a text (e.g.\, replacing synonyms)\, and we search for an operator sequence with minimum text quality loss. The experimental analysis shows that we can solve the acrostic generation problem both effectively and efficiently. However\, our main contribution lies in the presented technology paradigm: a novel and promising combination of methods from Information Retrieval\, Computational Linguistics\, and Artificial Intelligence. The approach naturally generalizes to related paraphrasing problems as they occur in shortening or simplifying a given text\, writing style obfuscation\, answer grading\, or e-journalism.

Before coming to Amsterdam in 2012\, he received his doctorate from McGill University with a thesis entitled ‘Stochastic Processes and Database-Driven Musicology’. Trained in musicology and in statistical learning\, he is especially interested in developing statistical models that are conceptually sound and musicologically interpretable as music research enters the digital humanities era. \nHow to Make It Stick: A Study of Long-Term Musical Memorability Using Citizen Science\nPsycholinguist Steven Pinker once described music as being ‘auditory cheesecake’\, similar to pornography and alcohol. Indeed\, human beings do not seem to get enough of it. Music can be enchanting\, annoying and intriguing. It helps us to concentrate or forget\, it can make us jubilant or melancholic. Some songs\, the so-called ‘earwigs’\, can haunt us for days. These earwigs in particular are the subject of the upcoming talk. Our speaker will discuss what makes songs stick (i.e. what makes them ‘catchy’) by computationally analysing song structure and music recognition patterns by humans.

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.
