Doktor Kaše a magistr Tvrz úspěšně prezentovali své příspěvky na
mezinárodní konferenci Computational Humanities Research v Lucembursku.
Jedná se již o několikátý ročník této konference, která je tematicky
zaměřená na aplikaci komputačních metod na výzkum humanitních témat.
Doktor Kaše prezentoval výzkum zaměřený, na využití transformerových
modelů pro automatické rozlišení nejednoznačných latinských slov.
Příspěvek magistra Tvrze byl zaměřený na diachronickou analýzu filmových
trendů.

Dr. Kaše and Mr. Tvrz successfully presented their contributions at the
international Computational Humanities Research conference in Luxembourg.
This is already the second edition of this conference, which focuses on the
application of computational methods to research in the humanities.
Dr. Kaše presented research focused on the use of transformer models
for the automatic differentiation of ambiguous Latin words.
Mr. Tvrz's contribution focused on the diachronic analysis of film
trends.

CCS-Lab invites you to a workshop exploring the intersection of computational history and the history of science, with a focus on epistemological foundations and the unique challenges in these fields. Speakers will address key questions, including the role of formal models in shaping historiographical narratives, distinctions between digital and computational history, and how computational approaches in the history of science differ from other historical domains. Special attention will be given to case studies from the histories of alchemy and chemistry. The event is open to researchers, students, and the general public.

Greetings from Marburg! This week, Vojtěch participated in a panel discussion on Open Science as part of the EUPeace alliance. In the following days, he had productive meetings with several representatives from the Marburg Center for Digital Culture and Infrastructure (MCDCI), a research center with a similar focus to CCS-Lab, including digital humanities, cultural analytics, and enhancing digital literacy among students and researchers in the social sciences and humanities.

Last week, the core team of CCS-Lab participated in the 2nd School of Evolutionary Metaphorology in Dobřichovice, organized by the TOME project (PI: Petr Pavlas). Jana Švadlenková presented on 'Cognitive & Computational Approaches to Metaphors: An Overview,' Jan Tvrz discussed 'Contextual Word Embeddings and Metaphor Detection,' and Vojtěch Kaše led a Python workshop on 'Computing Noscemus'.

at the beginning of September, Vojtěch attended the 11th Conference of the European Society for the History of Science in Barcelona. Together with Petr Pavlas and Jo Hedesan they gave an overview of the TOME project. Vojtěch introduced computational methodology for automatic detection of metaphors in early modern prints currently under development within the TOME project.

couple of weeks ago, Vojtěch Kaše and Zdeňka Špiclová visited Helsinki, where they took part in a workshop on Computing Early Christianity organized by the EXPRECCE project and discussed future collaboration.
