The ALLEA @ALLEA Working Group E-Humanities

https://allea.org/e-humanities/

has launched an open consultation draft about recommendations on the recognition, assessment, and evaluation
of innovative #digital scholarly outputs in the #humanities.

Scholars working with under-resourced languages and #multilingual #DH might be interested in adding their perspective and can contribute here:

Happy #MultilingualMonday everyone!

This place is full of gems and it's #MultilingualMonday so let's celebrate them with special thanks to the great work achieved by @behdad on enabling #multilingual text rendering in software.

Check his website:

...and github:

If you know more people like him, share with us your knowledge, we'd love to spread it further!

It's #MultilingualMonday and we want to celebrate today the new UK/IE Community Interest Group

'Protecting the Investigator in Traumatic Research Areas' (PeTRA)

Many scholars in #multilingual #DH work with under-resourced languages on the kind of traumatic and sensitive subject matters covered by PeTRA.

If you are one of them, and you want to be part of this project or simply find out more about it, please contact Vicky Garnett @vickstar79 at vicky.garnett@dariah.eu

We are back after #DARIAH Annual Event where two themes kept feeding passionate exchanges: #openscience & #opensource.

These are crucial topics for those working with under-resourced languages so let's make a pause on our #MultilingualMonday to reflect on

what #openscience can learn from #opensource

with @jdelacueva and this summary article by Lieke de Boer from @eScienceCenter

Discover why science might be moving in the right direction and enjoy the reading!

The week of the DARIAH-EU annual meeting has come! For #multilingualmonday , let us thus feature the line-up for the event and highlight that our multilingual #digitalhumanities WG is also having a special Bimonthly Short meeting in-person in Budapest & online: https://annualevent.dariah.eu/programme/
If you're not on our mailing list yet but would like to receive the link to attend online, this is the time to reach out: https://www.dariah.eu/activities/working-groups/multilingual-dh/

For #multilingualmonday we are drawing attention to the upcoming 9th IDHN conference on May 31 (online)! Register here: https://tinyurl.com/idhn9conf

#islamic #DigitalHumanities

To continue to feature projects related to #AAPI #heritage month and as part of our #multilingualmonday initiative, today let us feature an informative webinar recording by
#HASTAC on #digitalhumanities projects in #asianamerican studies: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TsM3OSDp5A

On #LaborDay let us acknowledge all the efforts that go into #DigitalHumanities projects, #multilingual or otherwise. And as part of our #multilingualmonday series, let us feature the monumental China Biographical Database Project by Peter Bol et al. @Harvard https://projects.iq.harvard.edu/cbdb/home

To start the week let us feature
Donald Sturgeon's pioneering http://ctext.org in #multilingualmonday, one of the richest platforms that one can turn to as the starting point and basis for doing DH in a Chinese language context. #digitalhumanities #multilingualdh

Today in #multilingualmonday we celebrate UT Austin's innovative JapanLab and all the amazing Japanese history-related and game-based pedagogical resources that they are creating! Check out their projects at https://www.utjapanlab.com/ #japan #dh #DigitalHumanities #digitalhistory #multilingualism #multilingualdh

After Easter, here is our belated, but unmissable, #multilingualmonday post - this time we are featuring a thought-provoking article on #multilingualism and #language #diversity in scholarly #publishing : https://upstream.force11.org/language-diversity-in-scholarly-publishing/

For today's #multilingualmonday, let us feature a new project which is "on a journey to advance and democratize artificial intelligence through open source and open science": allenai/nllb · Datasets at Hugging Face Thanks to Andy Janco for drawing our attention to this! #newnlp #multilingualdh

Let's start our week with good news for our #MultilingualMonday: A recent study (https://arxiv.org/pdf/2303.12528.pdf) concludes unsurprisingly that multilingual large language models still performs poorly, which means that there is room for improvement and this is exactly why we are here. Solutions already exists as shown in this paper:

https://aclanthology.org/2022.naacl-main.200.pdf

So let's work together towards better #openscience #openaccess #multilingual tools, datasets, benchmarks, training data, models, etc.!

For our #multilingualmonday we want to attract attention on the#multilingual #NLP resources list established by @quinnanya:

https://github.com/multilingual-dh/nlp-resources

All resources listed are #openaccess and focused on languages other than English.
Whether you are looking for solution, inspiration, collaboration or you would like to share your own resources, this page is what you need!

Let's celebrate #multilingualmonday with our colleagues from #DARIAH working group

*NEWW*

Network of European #women writers:

https://www.dariah.eu/activities/working-groups/women-writers-in-history/

and their #multilingual Webinar to Connect Women Writers with #Digital Tools in which they encourage the use of different languages to reflect the universality of their topic:

https://www.dariah.eu/activities/working-groups/women-writers-in-history/

I love coming across new articles, because it becomes an excuse to update the #MultilingualDH bibliography! Here's to #MultilingualMonday with some new entries: https://github.com/multilingual-dh/multilingual-dh-bibliography

#DigitalHumanities

It's #multilingualmonday Monday in our #DigitalHumanities world and we would like to introduce our new blog:

https://multilingual.hypotheses.org/

We are slowly setting it up, so please be patient and of course all recommendations, suggestions and advice from our inspiring #dh community are welcome :)

We will keep you posted on our progress!

Happy #multilingualmonday #dh community!

Today we want to celebrate a database that was shared with us last week:

The Mediterranean Lingua Franca (MLF)

https://joshbrownwa.wixsite.com/mlfd

It is #openaccess and allows for interesting #multilingual text analysis related to this extinct language that is the MLF. An inspiring tool even for scholars from other fields who need something similar!
