SUMMARY:Advanced Topics in Word Embeddings
DESCRIPTION:Word embeddings are the hottest new technology in natural language processing\, and are used across linguistic computer science\, from machine translation to information extraction and computational literary analysis. We will cover advanced topics in word embeddings\, including: document similarity analysis\, nearest-neighbor analysis\, training vector spaces\, and visualization. We will use literary texts as examples\, but the methods are applicable across disciplines\, and participants are encouraged to bring their own corpora to analyze. Python will be our workshop language\, and we will use the libraries SpaCy\, Word2Vec\, and Sense2Vec. \nRequirements: Please bring a laptop on which you’ve installed the Python libraries SpaCy\, scikit-learn\, pandas\, matplotlib\, word2vec\, and sense2vec\, as well as the `en_core_web_lg` language model. Check that you can load it successfully with `spacy.load(‘en_core_web_lg’)`. Refer to the SpaCy documentation for instructions on installing the language model. Working knowledge of Python is also necessary. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Intro to the Command Line
DESCRIPTION:Learn how to use the command line to perform basic tasks. We’ll begin by discussing why humanists would want to learn something so technical\, then jump into learning how to create and edit files and directories. Knowledge of the command line can be applied in many contexts\, including several of the other workshops offered this week! \nRequirements: Attendees should bring their own laptop.

SUMMARY:Betwyll: discover the potential of social reading
DESCRIPTION:Betwyll is a social reading app which allow people to comment text in short messages. It can be employed as a didactic tool to make students read literary texts but it can also be applied to more performative texts\, allowing people to express their skills and at the same time to build a community of readers\, which can develop outside the app. \nAttendees should bring a mobile devices (smartphone or tablets) and have the Betwyll app downloaded from Google and Apple Stores (it is free).

SUMMARY:Using IMDb as a Dataset for Digital Humanities
DESCRIPTION:Cindy Conaway\, an associate professor in Media Studies and Communication and Diane Shichtman an associate professor in Information Systems at SUNY Empire State College will discuss using the Internet Movie Database (IMDb) and its advantages and challenges as a dataset for Digital Humanities. In many ways IMDb is an excellent source for Digital Humanities projects and gives media studies scholars a new way to use Digital Humanities. The organization makes it free to download a great deal of its very robust data. However much of IMDb’s data is inconsistent\, incomplete\, and often wrong or misleading. The downloadable information is also limited to certain categories. This presentation will also discuss the challenges of interdisciplinary work\, and how changes in IMDb’s process over several years\, and differing views available to scholars can also create issues as we have found in our project tracing connections using the show Seinfeld. \nRequirements: none.

SUMMARY:Data Epistemologies: Intro to Data Taxonomies
DESCRIPTION:Increasingly\, humanities scholars are turning to data as a key element of both humanities research and teaching: as DH methods become more prevalent and accessible\, students and researchers begin to seek out\, digitize\, or generate data sets such as cartographic data for mapping\, unstructured textual data for distant reading and computational processing\, or controlled vocabularies for XML/TEI markup. \nBut it’s not always clear what forms our humanities data can and should take\, or how these structures might affect the results of our work. In this session\, participants will receive a primer in data formats and uses\, including the differences between structured\, semi-structured\, and unstructured data and the file formats they encompass. We will work together to think critically about the implications of data organization (including for ethics and accessibility) and about how data-driven projects can serve as sites of epistemological critique\, pedagogy\, and self-reflection in our work and the work of those we teach. \nThis workshop is meant primarily for humanities instructors or students who are interested in the *idea* of data-driven projects\, either as pedagogical tools or components of their own research\, but don’t feel they have the basic familiarity with data taxonomies necessary to make informed\, intentional decisions. While we won’t linger on any one particular tool or file format (except by popular demand)\, participants are encouraged to bring a laptop (Chromebooks OK) to explore some data files up close and tinker with structures. Emphasis will be on data drawn from sources pertaining to history and literature\, but I’m happy to take requests by email in advance of our meeting! \nLaptop computer recommended but not required.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Web Accessibility for DH
DESCRIPTION:Interested in making sure that your DH project is accessible to people with disabilities? Curious about web accessibility but not sure what it is or where to start? Join us for an introductory session focused on the relationship between code\, design\, and web accessibility for people with disabilities and/or those using assistive technologies to navigate digital content.

SUMMARY:Doing DH at a Predominantly Technical University
DESCRIPTION:Do you work at a predominantly technical university? Are you Interested in developing curricula and degree programs in Digital Humanities? This workshop will introduce work being done to develop Digital Humanities at ITMO University in Saint-Petersburg (Russia)\, which recently established an International DH Lab co-directed by workshop instructors Antonina Puchkovskaya and Kimon Keramidas. During the workshop\, we will share the challenges of developing DH curriculum and programming at a predominantly technical university\, address the different administrative and pedagogical perspectives at tech institutions\, discuss how getting buy-in from constituencies can pose particular challenges. We will also discuss how collaborative work started during NYCDH Week 2018 led to the establishment of the center and the development of a MA in Digital Humanities that will be launching in the fall of 2019. The workshop will also cover using the cultural heritage sector to find projects and an open conversation with people already working or just starting to develop DH in environments such as this. \nRequirements: none.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Network Analysis with Python
DESCRIPTION:Networks are increasingly common aspects of contemporary life: social networks\, transportation networks\, information networks\, citation networks\, and more. Networks consist of nodes (individual people or things) and edges (links\, relationships\, or interactions) that connect them. Researchers increasingly use network analysis to investigate the structures and connective relationships of networks relevant to their discipline. In this workshop\, you will learn foundational concepts of network analysis\, be introduced to basic tools for conducting network analysis\, and practice producing a graph visualization using a real database. \nRequirements: Participants are encouraged to bring their own laptop but we will have laptops available to loan out. \n
