SUMMARY:Summer School “Computational Language Technologies for Medievalis
 ts”
DESCRIPTION:Embark on a five-day journey hosted by the University of Graz
 :\n\nNatural Language Processing (NLP) has emerged as a crucial skill in m
 any Digital Humanities scenarios seeking to unlock the potential of langua
 ge-based technologies. Due to the particularities of medieval languages (e
 .g. special characters\, historical language levels\, scarce training data
 ) medieval studies put particular challenges to the standard NLP methods. 
 This Summer School aims to guide postgraduate and PhD level participants t
 hrough the conceptual foundations of NLP\, offering hands-on exercises tai
 lored to empower medievalists in curating content and managing metadata. T
 his will include training in topic modeling\, text re-use\, authorship att
 ribution\, stylometry and basic application of large language models. Disc
 over how to optimize your time and efforts effectively while integrating n
 ew tools into your scholarly pursuits.\n\nIn preparation for the main curr
 iculum\, we offer pre-school learning materials specifically designed to s
 upport novice applicants. These materials will provide foundational knowle
 dge and essential skills\, ensuring that participants\, regardless of thei
 r level of expertise\, can fully engage with and benefit from the Summer S
 chool experience.\n\nNo prior advanced mathematics or computer science kno
 wledge is mandatory. Possessing basic Python syntax knowledge and command 
 line-based or interactive computing environment-based (Jupyter Notebook\, 
 Google Colab) script execution is\, however\, advantageous. We expect basi
 c computer literacy from all participants. You can check this via here!\n
 \nHow to Apply\n\nTo be considered for participation in this Summer School
 \, please submit a one-page CV and a concise letter of interest (maximum o
 ne page) addressing the following:\n\n   Why do you wish to attend this
  Summer School? Submissions describing a concrete use case you consider (d
 ata\, research questions) will have preference. You will get the chance to
  present your research in a poster session.\n   Share your academic bac
 kground and research specialization.\n   Sketch your technology skills 
 in the above mentioned fields\n\nThis initiative is generously funded by t
 he University of Graz\, ZIM-ACDH and the ERC DiDip Project.\n\nKindly 
 email your application material to didip[at]uni-graz.at with the subject 
 “Application for NLP Summer School“. The deadline for applications is
  15 March 2024. Applicants will be notified of acceptance by 15 April 2
 023.
