Am 4. und 5. Juni 2018 veranstaltet die Sektion f\u00fcr Sprach- und Informationswissenschaft der Universit\u00e4t Lausanne (Schweiz) einen Workshop zum Thema \u00abComputational Methods in the Humanities\u00bb (COMHUM2018). Das Ziel des Workshops ist es, die Forschung zu informatischen Ans\u00e4tzen in den Geisteswissenschaften voranzubringen \u2013 insbesondere zu innovativen, methodisch expliziten Ans\u00e4tzen \u2013 und den disziplinen\u00fcbergreifenden Austausch anzuregen.<\/p>\n
Die offizielle Sprache des Workshops ist Englisch, Beitr\u00e4ge k\u00f6nnen in englischer oder franz\u00f6sischer Sprache eingereicht werden. Die Einreichungsfrist f\u00fcr Abstracts von 1\u20132 Seiten ist der 16. April 2018<\/strong>. N\u00e4here Informationen finden sie auf der COMHUM-2018-Webseite<\/a> sowie in der folgenden Ank\u00fcndigung:<\/p>\n \nCall for Proposals\n<\/p>\n \nWorkshop on Computational Methods in the Humanities 2018 (COMHUM 2018)<\/b>\n<\/p>\n \nWorkshop date: June 4\u20135, 2018 \nIt is often said that the digital humanities are \u201csituated at the intersection of computer science and the humanities,\u201d but what does this mean? We believe that the point of using computers in the humanities is not just to automatically analyze larger amounts of data or to accelerate research. We therefore prefer to understand digital humanities as (1) the study of means and methods of constructing formal models in the humanities and (2) as the application of these means and methods for the construction of concrete models in particular humanities disciplines. The central research questions are thus correspondingly (1) which computational methods are most appropriate for dealing with the particular challenges posed by humanities research, e.g., uncertainty, vagueness, incompleteness, but also with different positions (points of view, values, criteria, perspectives, approaches, readings, etc.)? And (2) how can such computational methods be applied to concrete research questions in the humanities?\n<\/p>\n \nThe goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers involved with computational approaches in the humanities with the objective of stimulating the research and exchange around innovative, methodologically explicit approaches, to encourage discussion among researchers and developers from different communities, and to help bridging the divide that still exists between the different disciplines involved in this field.\n<\/p>\n \nThe program will consist of invited and contributed talks on computational methods for and in the humanities. The official language of the workshop is English. Contributions can be submitted in English or French.\n<\/p>\n \nThe workshop is organized by the Department of Language and Information Sciences at the University of Lausanne, with the support of the Faculty of Arts. The workshop underlines the commitment of the Department of Language and Information Sciences to the computational dimension of the digital humanities, including formal and mathematical methods.\n<\/p>\n \nThe topics of the workshop encompass formal and computational aspects related to the development and use of computational methods in the humanities (in particular the disciplines represented in the Faculty of Arts of UNIL – such as literature, linguistics, history, history of art, cinema studies, game studies).\n<\/p>\n \nTopics include, but are not limited to:\n<\/p>\n \nWe invite researchers to submit abstracts of 500 to 1000 words (1\u20132 pages, excluding references). Abstracts will be reviewed double-blind by the members of the program committee, and all submissions will receive several independent reviews. Abstracts submitted at review stage must not contain the authors\u2019 names, affiliations, or any information that may disclose the authors\u2019 identity.\n<\/p>\n \nAuthors of accepted abstracts will be invited to present their research at the workshop as a talk, and the abstracts will be published in the book of abstracts of the workshop.\n<\/p>\n \nThe abstracts must use the ACL 2017 format (LaTeX<\/a>, Word<\/a>). Please strictly follow the guidelines that will be published on the workshop Web site. Abstracts must be submitted electronically in PDF format. For abstracts submissions we use EasyChair: https:\/\/easychair.org\/conferences\/?conf=comhum2018<\/a>. For details please consult the workshop Web site at http:\/\/www.unil.ch\/llist\/events\/comhum2018<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n \nAuthors of accepted contributions will be invited, after the conference, to submit a full paper version (6\u201316 pages), which, after peer-review, will be published in an open-access, electronic conference volume endowed with persistent identifiers (to be confirmed soon).\n<\/p>\n Deadline for submission of abstracts: April 16, 2018
