We’ll cover the basics of word embeddings: what they do\, how to train a model using word2vec\, and how to use them to search for synonyms and analogies. And we’ll look at issues more specific to the humanities and social sciences\, including how to compare models trained on different sets of texts to each other\, when to use word2vec vs topic models\, and strategies for visualizing models. Finally\, we’ll talk about the social biases embodied in the space of language models\, both as a technical problem with solutions and as an opportunity for algorithmic criticism. \nHands-on analysis and visualization will be done editing pre-written scripts in the R statistical environment; no prior programming experience is necessary. We’ll distribute several pre-trained models at the workshop\, but you can try to train one on your own texts ahead of time as well. \nLEVEL: Beginner\nNOTES: Laptop with R and Rstudio programs installed required.

We will go over security\, firewalls\, HTTPS\, and high availability. Administering one’s own server rather than relying on managed web hosting companies empowers researchers\, teachers\, and students by providing them with complete control over their web assets. The resulting setup can be used with WordPress\, Omeka\, Scalar\, and Drupal websites\, and will be ready for use with domain names. In addition to providing an entry point to the web\, servers can also enable teams of researchers and students to collaborate on programming projects or access shared data. \nLEVEL: Beginner level. Familiarity with the command line / terminal would be great but not required.\nNOTES: Participants should bring a laptop that they have administrative access to\, such as a personal computer. A Mac or Linux laptop will work out of the box. If they are bringing a Windows laptop\, they should set up an SSH client prior to the workshop by following a guide (e.g. https://www.howtogeek.com/336775/how-to-enable-and-use-windows-10s-built-in-ssh-commands/).

Aries is an interactive image manipulation system that allows for the exploration and organization of fine art images (of paintings\, drawings\, prints\, sculpture\, etc.) taken from multiple sources (e.g. websites\, digital photographs\, scans) in a virtual space. ARIES provides a novel\, intuitive interface to explore\, annotate\, rearrange\, and group art images freely in a single workspace environment\, using organizational ontologies (collections\, etc.) drawn from existing best practices in art history. The system allows for multiple ways to compare images\, from using dynamic overlays analogous to a physical light box to advanced image analysis and feature–matching functions available only through computational image processing. Additionally\, users may import and export data to and from ARIES. \nIn this workshop\, we will demonstrate the tool’s functionality and participants will be able to work with an open-source BETA version. \nLEVEL: Beginner URL:https://nycdh.org/dhweek/event/aries-art-research-exploration-space/ LOCATION:Frick Art Reference Library\, 1 East 70th Street\, New York\, NY\, 10021\, United States CATEGORIES:Art History,Beginner,Visualization ORGANIZER;CN="Louisa Wood Ruby":MAILTO:woodruby@frick.org GEO:40.7711807;-73.9673501 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Frick Art Reference Library 1 East 70th Street New York NY 10021 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=1 East 70th Street:geo:-73.9673501,40.7711807 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20180207T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20180207T180000 DTSTAMP:20260407T123831 CREATED:20180118T204622Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180207T172213Z UID:1627-1518019200-1518026400@nycdh.org SUMMARY:Social Media Scraping for Qualitative Research DESCRIPTION:Interested in incorporating social media content into your qualitative research project? This workshop will introduce the basics of using small-scale web scraping of social media for qualitative analysis. Using NCapture\, a web browser extension\, and NVivo\, a qualitative analysis software package\, this session will focus on methods to incorporate the context from web pages\, online PDFs\, and social media into your research design. Presenters will provide detailed examples for importing and coding Facebook and Twitter data using the NVivo software platform. In addition\, discussions may include topics such as collecting\, storing\, and reporting social media data as academic researchers. Brief overview of aims of Qualitative Research and NVivo Software will be provided. Please note that this workshop will not cover larger data sets and web scraping using tools like Python or R.
