Matteo Romanello <\/strong>is a Senior Data Engineer at the Swiss Art Research Infrastructure (SARI), University of Zurich. Before joining SARI, Matteo Romanello was Senior Lecturer at the University of Lausanne, where he conducted a project focused on the history of classical commentaries (Ajax Multi-Commentary). He holds a PhD in Digital Humanities from King\u2019s College London (2015) and has carried out research in national and international research projects at the intersection of humanities and computer science\/NLP, including work on citation mining, information extraction (especially named entity processing), and text reuse detection.\u00a0Previously, he worked as a post-doctoral researcher at EPFL (2015-2020), as a teaching fellow at the University of Rostock (2017-2018), as a researcher at the German Archaeological Institute (2011-2017), and he was a visiting research scholar at Perseus project, Tufts University (2008-2009).<\/p>\n\n\n\nMaciej Eder<\/strong> works as Visiting Professor in Digital Humanities at the University of Tartu, and Professor in Linguistics at the Institute of Polish Language (Polish Academy of Sciences). Currently, he is also the Chair of the Committee of Linguistics at the Polish Academy of Sciences, co-founder of the Computational Stylistics Group, the main developer of the R package \u2018Stylo\u2019 for performing stylometric analyses, and an elected member of the Polish Academy of Arts and Sciences (PAU). While Maciej\u2019s background is Early Modern literature, specifically the 17th-century Polish and Latin prose, his career path was shaped by a few unexpected twists, including a position of a lexicographer (working on the 15th-century Polish), and then a researcher in quantitative linguistics (exploring language change). Currently, Maciej\u2019s main research area lays somewhere between literary studies and linguistics, and revolves around computer-assisted text analysis and quantitative approaches to style variation. These include measuring style using statistical methods, authorship attribution based on quantitative measures, as well as \u2018distant reading\u2019 methods to analyze dozens (or hundreds) of literary works at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBotond Szemes <\/strong>is a research fellow in Digital Humanities and holds a PhD in Literary Studies. He previously worked at the Institute for Literary Studies (Department of Literary Theory) in Budapest, Hungary. His research explores computational approaches to literature, including stylometry, quantitative drama analysis and network theory, as well as the role of statistical methods and data visualization in knowledge production. His 2024 book offers the first Hungarian overview of computational literary studies. He is secretary of the Hungarian Comparative Literary Studies Association and a member of the ICLA Digital Comparative Literature Committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThiago Dumont Oliveira<\/strong>\u00a0is a research fellow in Digital Humanities\u00a0at the University of Tartu and a research associate at the\u00a0Centre of Latin American Studies, University of Cambridge. He holds a PhD in Economics from the University of Siena and has held postdoctoral fellowships at the University of Basel, the University of Turin, and Arizona State University. His research agenda focuses on political economy, sustainable development, and computational linguistics. He is currently investigating the coevolution of theories, practices, and conceptions of sustainable development in Brazil since 1930.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The event is organised with the support of the Estonian Doctoral School<\/a> (Project \u201cCooperation between universities to promote doctoral studies\u201d (2021-2027.4.04.24-0003) is co-funded by the European Union). The event is organised by DigiTS (Center for Digital Text Scholarship, funded by the European Union) operating at the University of Tartu Institute of Estonian and General Linguistics and the University of Tartu Institute of Foreign Languages and Cultures, Department of Classical Studies. The organisers include Prof. Liina Lindstr\u00f6m and Prof. Janika P\u00e4ll.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nAdditional information: loone.vilumaa@ut.ee<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
