[Jenling] [Announcement] Workshop "Polish language(s) and digital humanities using R"

[Irenaeus Kulik]

Polish language(s) and digital humanities using R

Block Seminar - Four Fridays in February 2020

Aleksander-Brückner-Zentrum für Polenstudien, Halle/Jena


The Aleksander Brückner Centre for Polish Studies Jena invites 
researchers and students to a multi-part seminar in Naumburg with DAAD 
fellow Garik Moroz (Linguistic convergence lab, Higher School of 
Economics, Moscow).


In this course we will discover basics of R, data visualization and 
manipulationand discuss some Natural Language Processing topics like 
work with strings, texts and research procedures (e.g., stylometry). We 
will focus on an application of these tools to Polish, especially 
dialects of Polish. Projects concerning other Slavic languages are also 
welcome.


Any background in R or programming is welcome but not obligatory. All 
classes are a combination of lecture and applicationof tools and methods 
used for problem solving. Participants should bring their own PC (if 
possible with R and RStudio already installed).


The course is project driven: participants will work on a specific data 
set and project which will ideally be based on a real research question. 
Rather than trying to cover all possible topics in a single course, the 
course is organized around consultations and additional lectureson 
particular topics as they are necessary for the projects.


The course will end with a hackathon 
<https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hackathon><https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hackathon>. 
During the hackathon participants use the acquired skills and knowledge 
to work on their projects and present their results during a final 
presentation.


When?

Fridays: 7/2 & 14/2 & 21/2 - always from 10am to 4pm (including lunch 
break) + 28/2 (Hackathon and short presentation)


Where?

Domstift Naumburg, Seminar room Petrus / Seminar room Paulus, Südklausur 
of the Naumburger Dom, Domplatz 16/17, 06618 Naumburg

The course is open to all interested students or researchers in the 
Unibund region of Leipzig, Halle and Jena (and beyond). You can assign 5 
ECTS for this workshop in your studies.

If you are interested to take part or have any questions, please write
