Institutional data is rich, carefully curated and of immense public value, yet it remains difficult to share, connect and reuse at scale. Open knowledge platforms like Wikidata have shown what’s possible when data is structured and collaboratively maintained, but contributing to them remains hard. At the same time, AI-based platforms are rapidly reshaping how knowledge […]
The Fourth IJCAI Workshop on Computational Fair Division will be co-located with IJCAI 2026 in Bremen, Germany, 15.08.26 – 17.08.26. It will be a full-day workshop. See full post.
Organized within the CollEx-Persée Digitization program, this conference invites critical, collective and interdisciplinary reflection on the transformations induced by digitization in research practices and scholarly uses. How do choices of corpora, tools or formats shape research practices? What kind of memory of science is thus produced, made visible, or, on the contrary, devalued? What mechanisms […]
The current experience of digital librarianship in the U.S. and around the world is defined in part by precarity and crisis. In March 2025, Trump issued an Executive Order that dismantled the IMLS; as of April 2026, his proposed budget for the 2027 fiscal year does not include IMLS funding. Demands to censor books representing […]
In recent years, the arts and humanities have seen a significant increase in the use of computational, statistical, and mathematical approaches. This kind of research is distinguished by its reliance on formal methods and the development of explicit, computational models – ranging from quantitative and statistical techniques to broader computational methods for processing and analysing […]
The Association for Computers and the Humanities (ACH) will hold ACH 2026, a virtual conference, from June 24-26, 2026. Registration is open from April 15, 2026, through June 17, 2026. See full post.
Motivated by growing interest in the similarities between problems in learning and social choice, SCaLA-26 aims to bring together researchers across these domains to highlight the benefits of collaboration. Recent work has explored theoretical bounds on the learnability of common voting rules alongside experimental evaluation of these bounds, has shown how neural networks can improve […]
Recent advances in large generative models have turned AI agents into everyday companions. Millions of people now rely on them across domains from design and communication to science and education. These advances offer unprecedented opportunities to support people in open-ended domains by providing a medium for brainstorming ideas, exploring design choices, and thereby improving their […]
Deadline: June 15 In 2026, Digitorium is focused on the theme of Preserve. As Digital Humanists, we engage in so many levels of preservation, and we want to make space to explore and document that work. Digital Humanities is a field committed to uncovering and preserving culture and society that is hidden. Sometimes hidden means […]
The Shapiro Digital History Seminar at the MHS will introduce audiences to the inner workings of in-progress projects that depend on digital methods, such as the translation of analog primary sources to a digital format, the use of computational tools for research and analysis of historical data, and the creation of “publications” in any form […]
