  Advances and challenges of NLP (Natural Language Processing) for african languages

  How far have we come?

  This workshop will bring together NTeALan’s large community of members living in Cameroon and abroad, invited researchers, partners and other members of the scientific community. This workshop aims at bringing together professionals, researchers and experts in African languages and Natural Language Processing (NLP), whose research work focuses on machine learning techniques and electronic lexicography applied to NLP and language pedagogy/didactics. We will also discuss the main challenges that arise in this context for the constitution of corpora in African languages. We will define possible directions for future progress.

  Study days - Modern

  What's the weather like?

  La nouveauté de la transdisciplinarité au sein de l’université nécessite une force de propositions pour orienter la recherche. Cette journée d’études propose de traverser ensemble la complexité du concept de temps, en le tissant à travers différentes disciplines. Il s’agit de passer du pluridisciplinaire au transdisciplinaire. Or, la pluridisciplinarité met en évidence la difficulté d’avoir un langage commun, au vu de la polysémie du vocabulaire concernant le temps. Aussi, le premier élément de notre méthodologie a été la constitution d’un lexique, que nous souhaitons incrémenter au cours de cette journée d’études, à l’aide des différentes contributions. Ce lexique, au centre de l’organisation, est un point de départ pour la réflexion, un outil de structuration de la journée.

  Two post-doctoral positions for the projet "Decoding Antisemitism"

  In the three-year pilot pro­ject "Identi­fy­ing the Real Dimen­sion of Anti­semit­ism 2.0 in Europe", an inter­na­tional research team will invest­ig­ate anti­semitic lan­guage and image use on news web­sites and social media plat­forms of the polit­ical main­stream in three European coun­tries (Ger­many, Great Bri­tain and France). First, the object of invest­ig­a­tion is ana­lysed in detail. In the second step, all of the examined phe­nom­ena are invest­ig­ated in their breadth by means of quant­it­at­ive ana­lyses. Main tasks of the post-doctoral positions will be, on one hand, the qual­it­at­ive lin­guistic con­tent ana­lysis of social media com­ments and ana­lysis of image mater­ial and text-image rela­tion­ships in rela­tion to anti­semitic con­tent; on the other hand, the applic­a­tion of quant­it­at­ive lin­guistic meth­ods to the social media cor­pus.

  Pontmain, the Marian apparition on January 17, 1871: texts, contexts, interpretations

  After being defeated by Prussian troops at the Battle of Le Mans, elements of the French Army retreat to the east of the department of Mayenne on January 13, 1871. Scuffles ensue in many spots, to the gate outside Laval. The advance of Prussian troops on the territory, while Paris has been under siege for four months, preoccupies the inhabitants of Mayenne.On January 17, the Virgin Mary appears to children of Pontmain, and only to them. The villagers pray and move from anguish to joy and hope.January 2021 marks the 150th anniversary of these military events and this apparition.

  Approaches to the history of berber

  Perspectives on a language through the ages

  Berber, a living language spoken throughout North Africa, has been the subject of significant linguistic research. However, relative to present-day Berber, earlier states of the language have received much less attention, and a global approach to its history has yet to be synthesized. In order to rebalance the situation and help fill in this gap, we propose to organize two international scientific meetings which will make it possible to draw up a survey of the available resources and to fix analytical priorities regarding documentary sources and historical linguistics, while creating a context for fruitful debate among researchers. We hope that this alliance of archaeologists, population geneticists, philologists, anthropologists, historians and linguists (descriptive, comparative, etc.) will be able to attain some of the goals identified.

  Lexicographic Studies of Arts

  Session at The Renaissance Society of America Annual Meeting 2021

  This panel aims to bring together coordinators of digital projects - completed or in progress - around the lexicon and the scientific edition of texts of artistic or technical literature, with researchers who have adopted this terminological approach to analyze in an innovative way well known or unpublished texts, related to the production, the practice of the arts and interpretative theories derived from practice and which marked the history of taste. The papers will aim to provoke discussions about the method, contributions and perspectives of the lexicographic approach in the artistic field, in an interdisciplinary logic, in order to federate language historians, digital humanities specialists and art historians.

  Intersections. New perspectives for public humanities

  HFC-INT 2020

  The international network Humanities for Change, in accordance with the interdisciplinary spirit and the contaminatory approach that characterize its activities, intends to organize a day of study on the theme of public humanities. The meeting aims to stimulate some reflections coming from different fields of knowledge and to encourage the dialogue between researchers on the possibilities of the humanities to escape from academic circles. In this sense, the main object of study is the analysis of methodologies and tools related to knowledge dissemination practices for historical, artistic and philological-literary disciplines. Particular attention will also be given to new professional figures connected to the degree courses of the humanities faculties (such as the 'public historian') and to the interactions of these professional figures with the new media of communication and mass dissemination.

  Digitalised collections of Gaulish inscriptions - post-doc research

  Le projet RIIG (Recueil informatisé des inscriptions gauloises, ANR-19-CE27-0003), propose un contrat post-doctoral de 16 mois à compter du 1^er janvier 2021. Coordonné depuis l'institut Ausonius (UMR 5607 université Bordeaux-Montaigne), ce projet ANR jeune chercheur vise à l’informatisation, l’enrichissement et la mise à jour du recueil des inscriptions gauloises (RIG). En étroite collaboration avec le chef du projet, le post-doc sera responsable de la collecte de données visant à la documentation et à la contextualisation des inscriptions en langue gauloise. L’enjeu est de livrer à terme une editio maior des inscriptions gauloises et de mener une réflexion plus précise sur l’utilisation de l’écriture dans la société gauloise puis galloromaine. Dans ce projet, une large communauté scientifique internationale spécialisée dans les populations celtes et gauloises est mobilisée.
