Dr. Sebastian Schirrmeister: „Wandering Artefacts“ or: What to do with 700,000 digital items from Jerusalem? Responding from a Technical Perspective by Jonas Müller-Laackmann

The Digital Humanities lecture series offers an introductory overview of the digital technologies and processes used today to analyze texts, present them on digital platforms, and archive them for posterity. Emphasis is placed on the procedures and tools used in linguistics and literary studies. In addition to an inventory and the presentation of sample applications, the lecture aims to reflect on the changes in the research and work process in the humanities that accompany digitization.

The two-day event "Digital Total" is organized and conducted by the House of Computing & Data Science (HCDS) of the Universität Hamburg, in collaboration with partners from the scientific platform PIER PLUS and the Academy of Sciences and Humanities in Hamburg.

Day 1 - Computing & Data Science in the Metropolitan Region

The goal of the first day, which is co-organized by CDCS, is to showcase and consolidate the topics of Data Science / AI / Computation, which are strongly represented in the Hamburg Metropolitan Region. A key focus will be the discussion on a common PIER PLUS initiative called "PIER Computing and Data Science." Additionally, the Academy of Sciences and Humanities in Hamburg will host an interdisciplinary forum for exchanging ideas about the future of digital transformation in the metropolitan region and potential synergies among cross-institutional initiatives. The first day will be concluded with a social event in the evening.

Day 2 - Computing & Data Science at the Universität Hamburg

The second day will focus on Data Science / AI / Computation at the Universität Hamburg. It will also serve as the kickoff for introducing the Cross-Disciplinary Labs (CDLs) located within HCDS.

Alongside the presentations in Audimax 1 & 2, the foyer will feature posters showcasing various projects throughout the event, presented during two poster sessions on Day 1 and 2.

As we had a very positive echo of the Summer School 2023 “Data Science for Explainable and Trustworthy AI”, another one will be organised in 2024 on the topic of “Generative AI”.

The rise of Generative AI, especially with the advancements in Large Language Models (LLMs), marks a transformative era in artificial intelligence that is expanding across all disciplines. LLMs aim to bridge the communication gap between machines and humans, paving the way for models that can grasp the nuances of human language and generate outputs in various formats that mimic human cognition and creativity.
The critical moment for Generative AI came with the adoption of neural networks, particularly transformer-based architectures, which have become its backbone. These models stand out for their profound ability to digest and learn from extensive corpora and datasets, and also to generate original, contextually rich content. But we are just at the beginning. The emerging models present challenges related to ethics, reliability, the way we experiment with these models, the scope of their inferences, their applications to more specific domains, etc. All this has created a vibrant field of work and opens the doors to a community that we hope will find the right forum in this Summer School.

The German Conference on Bioinformatics (GCB) is an annual, international conference devoted to all areas of bioinformatics and meant as a platform for the whole bioinformatics community. Recent meetings attracted a multinational audience of approximately 250 participants each year.

The conference will take place at Bielefeld University. Besides the talks and poster sessions, ample networking opportunities including a conference dinner will be provided.
The conference starts in the afternoon of 30 September 2024 and is preceded by a workshop programme in the morning.

Looking forward to seeing you in Bielefeld!

Abstracts for presentations can be submitted until 6 May 2024, the submission of poster abstracts will close on 7 August 2024

Zum INFORMATIK FESTIVAL 2023, der offiziellen Jahrestagung der Gesellschaft für Informatik e.V. (GI), präsentieren wir uns dieses Jahr im neuen Gewand und bewegen uns einen Schritt Richtung Zukunft - ganz im Sinne des diesjährigen Leitthemas...
...Designing Futures: Zukünfte gestalten. Die Gestaltung digitaler Technologien und informatischer Systeme sowie deren Gestaltungskraft für gesellschaftliche, kulturelle, soziale und wirtschaftliche Prozesse stehen im Fokus des INFORMATIK FESTIVALS 2023. Die großen gesellschaftlichen und wirtschaftlichen Herausforderungen wie die Dekarbonisierung oder der demografische Wandel werden nur mithilfe der Digitalisierung zu bewerkstelligen sein. Dabei spielen das Design und die Ausgestaltung der Technologien eine zentrale Rolle. Auch Fragen der nachhaltigen Gestaltung der digitalen Technologien selbst sollen im Zentrum des INFORMATIK FESTIVALS 2023 an der Hochschule für Technik und Wirtschaft in Berlin stehen.

Diese Veratstaltungsreihe richtet sich an Teilnehmer:innen aus den Bereichen Wissenschaft & Forschung und die öffentliche Hand. Wir möchten Sie herzlich dazu einladen, an diesem Tag anwesend zu sein und an den Diskussionen und Matchmaking Aktivitäten und einem abschließendem Worlcafé teilzunehmen. Die Veranstaltung bietet die Möglichkeit, wertvolle Kontakte zu knüpfen, Ihr Wissen zu erweitern und innovative Ideen auszutauschen. Nehmen Sie diese Gelegenheit wahr, um gemeinsam mit Expert:innen und Fachleuten aus der Branche neue Impulse auch mit Hinblick auf die UITP Summits 2025 und 2027 in Hamburg zu setzen.

Wir werden Ihnen nach der Sommerpause weitere Informationen zur Agenda und zur Anmeldung zukommen lassen. Sollten Sie bereits jetzt Fragen oder Anregungen haben, zögern Sie nicht, sich mit uns in Verbindung (pmo@new-mobility-solutions.de) zu setzen. Wir stehen Ihnen gerne zur Verfügung.
