Antwerp DH Summer School 2020: Making a Digital Edition. Basic Skills and Technologies

UAntwerp City Campus Prinsstraat 13, Antwerp

In the past few decades, digital editing and digitisation of archival documents have been rapidly gaining prominence. Aiming to cater for both of these branches of Digital Humanities, our summer school offers an in-depth, hands-on curriculum to familiarise students with basic and more advanced tools in the field. Apart from acquiring a set of technical skills (including Command Line, HTML, CSS, TEI-XML XPath, XSLT, and eXist-db), our programme includes the more general practical guidelines on how to make a digital edition.

€150 – €200

Lecture Series: Paul Aron

S.ABC.301 Prinsstraat 13, Antwerpen

Relire la littérature des années 30 grâce aux humanités numériques: le cas des hebdomadaires d’information et de reportage.

Les années 1930 voient l’émergence des hebdomadaires illustrés par la photographie ou le montage photographique, comme Détective, Vu, ou Regards. Ces organes de presse contribuent à transformer le regard que les contemporains jettent sur le monde. Mais on ne peut toutefois les analyser du seul point de vue de l’actualité journalistique. Ces revues sont aussi animées par des écrivains et elles sont liées aux grandes maisons d’édition. L’exposé tentera donc de lier ce phénomène éditorial avec l’histoire de la littérature française, dans la perspective d’une approche transmédiatique.

Lecture Series: Mattia Di Gangi

S.R.218 Rodestraat 14 (via ingang Lange Winkelstraat), Antwerpen

Neural Machine Translation for Text and Speech

In his talk, Mattia Di Gangi will introduce Neural machine translation (NMT). This is an exciting research area that is experiencing fast growth and attracting more and more groups from academia and industry, and some of its fundamental problems are still unsolved. Neural machine translation (NMT) reached such impressive results in the last few years that some industrial players, imprudently, claimed to have reached human parity.
