Les articles du blog NewsEye sont rédigés par les membres de notre équipe projet. Parmi les thèmes traités figurent les conférences auxquelles nous assistons, des réflexions sur les questions d’actualité pertinentes, des actualités et les avancés de notre projet, ainsi que du contenu plus succinct diffusé dans le cadre de nos études de cas sur les humanités numériques ou de nos publications relatives au projet. Les articles du blog sont publiés principalement en anglais, mais néanmoins proposés de temps à autre dans la langue de prédilection du membre de l’équipe projet concerné, puisque notre petite troupe parle plusieurs langues ! Bonne lecture !
Over the past year and a half, many of us have become more accustomed to working and keeping up with loved ones through videoconference platforms. Our International Conference, which was held on the 16th and 17th of March 2021, did not make an exception to this rule. Despite taking place completely online, the conference was attended by more than two hundred people across the world. Featuring the work of four keynote speakers and over thirty presenters hailing from eleven countries, the conference was truly international and interdisciplinary, much like the NewsEye project!
The conference was kicked off in the afternoon by four keynote speakers: Ann Dooms, Clemens Neudecker, Ian Milligan and Gerben Zaagsma. Then, presentations by NewsEye colleagues wrapped up a dense first half day. Day Two featured work on the topics of 'Digitised Newspapers and Machine Learning: Extraction and Classification of News Items', 'Digitised Historical Newspapers: Working with Classified News Items and Information Extraction', 'Digitised Historical Material: Improving Data Quality' and 'Challenges and Perspectives in Digital Research: Workflows, Pipelines, Digital Libraries and Digital Literacy'.
