CALL FOR PAPERS

Textual scholarship, artificial intelligence, corpora and intelligent
editions

The nineteenth annual conference of the European Society for Textual
Scholarship (ESTS 2024)

Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest 2-4 October 2024

CfP deadline 15 May 2024

Although the deep learning-based AI revolution in human language
processing began at least a decade ago, the emergence of generative AI
through ChatGPT has far exceeded even experts’ expectations. Will AI
make textual scholarship and our editing practices smarter? Will we be
able to produce intelligent editions, in print or online, without the
“help” of computers in the third decade of the 21st century?

In this context, it is worth considering the opportunities and threats
of the computer as a cultural artefact in the production of scholarly
editions, or in textual scholarship in general, from the Index
Thomisticus (Roberto Busa) to Winchester Philology (Thorsten Ries) and
the technology of the Semantic Web. The conference also addresses the
role of corpora and corpus linguistic methods in the humanities, such as
computer-based analysis and annotation of poetic texts.

Papers on the following or related topics are welcome:

   * What is an Intelligent Edition?
   * Who is the (digital) edition for?
   * Can editions become more inclusive?
   * What challenges is textual scholarship facing?
   * Is there a future for print?
   * Textual Scholarship and/as data
   * Editorial Interfacing
   * (Digital) Research Infrastructure and Future-proofing the Edition
   * Editing and Deep Learning
   * Corpus linguistics as Method and Tool
   * Annotation and Commentary in the Age of Google

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following:

   * Scholarly editing, textual scholarship and/as research data – in the
     age of FAIR data management
   * Versioning, persistent identification, standardization, metadata
     schemes, data mining, search tools, search platforms. Named entity
     recognition, data enrichment, linked open data
   * Scholarly editions on display. Displaying scholarly editions.
   * Arrangement of philological data on the printed surface of paper and
     on the computer displays, marking-up, sign systems in print and on
     the screen, relation of the visual arrangement of the source and the
     edition; lists, glossaries, annotations, marginalia and footnotes:
     what they disclose and what they hide. Digital interfaces,
     responsive design and visual stability/instability. Digitizing
     scholarly editions and printing digital ones.
   * Rule based digital tools, automatic collation, data visualization;
     intertextuality detection, stylometry and authorship attribution:
     old and new methods. Deep learning (HTR, LLM), digital research
     infrastructures.
   * Corpus linguistic methods and tools in poetic research: canonical
     and non-canonical poetic genres, characteristics of lyrical and
     narrative poetry (e.g. grammatical and semantic patterns, poetic
     styles and devices, literary periods), quantitative and qualitative
     methods
   * Electronic literature and the challenges of textual scholarship
   * Born-digital and digitized sources and the challenges of textual
     scholarship
   * The audiences of digital and printed editions.
