We invite submissions for the Cultural Data Analytics Conference 2023 / CUDAN 2023, organized by the ERA Chair project for Cultural Data Analytics at Tallinn University, generously funded by the European Commission. Inspired by initial large gatherings of the cultural analytics community, including UCLA/IPAM 2016, and multidisciplinary conferences such as NetSci, IC2S2, or CCS, we aim to bring together researchers, practitioners, and stakeholders using methods of cultural data analytics to understand cultures and cultural production. This particularly includes multidisciplinary combinations of quantification, qualitative inquiry, computational analysis, and visualization to make sense of large cultural datasets, including visual, audiovisual, linguistic, and other genres of socio-cultural materials. The conference is scheduled to happen in Tallinn, Estonia from December 13 to 16, 2023, including a number of leading invited practitioners, peer-reviewed talks, and poster contributions from the community.

Cultures and cultural production are multifaceted phenomena, which, like other complex systems, cannot be fully understood from the perspective of a single specific discipline. This is why the core mission of cultural data analytics is to join forces and make headway across disciplines and domains of expertise. Feeding into this mission, we welcome both multidisciplinary submissions, and contributions from specific disciplines, which aim to benefit from discussion in a multidisciplinary forum.
We encourage discussion towards a deeper understanding of cultures and cultural production including aspects, methods, and intersections of the following fields:
– cultural analytics, culturomics, and socio-cultural data science;
– digital humanities and computational humanities;
– cultural evolution, including experimental and observational approaches;
– cultural complexity science, network science, computational social science, and social physics;
– computational linguistics, quantitative aesthetics, critical computer vision, and machine learning;
– art history, cultural history, cultural semiotics, film studies, musicology, and urbanism;
– artistic research, algorithmic curation, and AI art (including aspects of cultural data analysis);
– creative industries research, media economics, and policy studies;
– data journalism, data science, and information visualization.
Contributions ideally address at least one of the following subject domains (in line with state-of-the-art conceptual reference models for cultural data):
– material aspects, including artworks, architecture, texts, images, sound, film, digital media, databases, and other forms of tangible cultural heritage;
– conceptual aspects, including cultural practices, rituals, theories, policies, data models, narratives, imagined communities, and other forms of intangible cultural heritage;
– social aspects, including human behaviour, human mobility, social networks, and social media;
– temporal aspects, from slow historical processes to turbulence in today’s economy of attention;
– spatial aspects of historical topography, cultural geography, and urban dynamics;
– event aspects, which combine the above aspects in cultural co-production, event series, tourism, etc.;
– network aspects of socio-cultural interaction, including the inherent ecology of complex networks as documented in the structure and dynamics of large cultural knowledge graphs or blockchains associated with the crypto-art-market, for example.
The CUDAN 2023 main conference programme (December 14-16, 2023) will include six keynotes covering the spectrum of relevant disciplines, a lightning talk session in the plenary, parallel sessions, and a poster section. The latter will run throughout the whole conference in the coffee and lunch area that is collocated with the plenum. The conference will close with a best poster and best paper award ceremony.
The pre-conference day (December 13, 2023) will feature introductory workshops by CUDAN senior fellows, covering aspects of cultural data analysis and visualization using Python, R, Tableau, and the Collection Space Navigator.
Before and after the main conference, we will offer sightseeing tours, including the medieval Tallinn old town and Christmas market (among many reasons to visit Estonia).
We are further planning a meet the publisher’s session and other opportunities for relevant stakeholders, including exhibition booths.
If you or your institution/company is interested in participation, please contact us via email to cudan@tlu.ee, ideally before September 14, 2023.
As we are fully funded through the European Commission, there will be no conference fee for accepted participants, with the exception of the conference dinner. Accepted participants are required to register and confirm their attendance. Information regarding accommodation (including reduced rate hotels) and a form to order VISA support letters will be announced on the conference website (https://cudan.tlu.ee/conference/).

Official event website: https://www.clarin.eu/event/2023/clarin-and-libraries-2023-large-language-models-and-libraries
The workshop builds upon the first CLARIN and Libraries workshop held in the Hague in May 2022 (see here).
This year's workshop will investigate further areas of collaboration between CLARIN-related initiatives and libraries with a special emphasis on building (large) language models in and in cooperation with libraries. The workshop will bring together for the second time a group of people associated with both CLARIN (or other research infrastructures) and libraries. Whereas the first CLARIN and Libraries workshop was particularly concerned with digital content delivery for researchers, the main theme of the second workshop will be large language models and library collections, e.g. technical challenges in building such models and legal implications of model training and use.
The host, the National Library of Norway (NLN), has since 2005 digitised its entire text collections, amounting at present to a large corpus of 160 billion words for Norwegian and has built large language models for text (BERT, GPT-2, T5) and speech (wav2vec, Whisper) on these collections. There will be keynotes from the National Libraries of Norway and Germany on the technical aspects of building such models in a library setting, as well as a keynote on the legal aspects of building large language models from the Swedish National Library.
Participation in the workshop is by invitation. If you are interested in attending, please contact your national coordinator or clarin@clarin.eu. The venue (National Library of Norway, Henrik Ibsens gate 110, Oslo) is located very close to the train station Nationaltheatret. Descriptions for getting to the venue can be found here.

Join our workshop tailored to students and academics to learn how to use open data from data.europa.eu for your research.
On Thursday 19 October from 10.00 to 12.00 CET, data.europa.eu will host its first workshop series on ‘How to use open data for your research’. This series, designed for students and academics is also open to anyone interested. The goal is to showcase the relevance and importance of open data for academic purposes. During this workshop, you will learn how to use open data from our portal for research and get examples from universities that have already embraced open data in their daily operations.
The workshop will start with an introduction by the Publications Office of the EU on open data and data.europa.eu. Following that, a hands-on presentation will be given through the portal, demonstrating how to efficiently search for specific datasets. Furthermore, three esteemed universities - KU Leuven, University of Amsterdam, and University of Naples L'Orientale - will present practical examples of how open data can be used to conduct Research.
These universities offer three distinct perspectives on using open data in research. The KU Leuven Research Repository provides access to open research data through their database, providing valuable resources to students. The University of Amsterdam offers a practical example of how linked open data can drive research and the UniOR NLP Research Group of the University of Naples L'Orientale will showcase a real-life example of exploiting open data for applications.
Following the informative university presentations, a short practical assignment will be given to help put the learnings into practice. To wrap up the practical assignment, you will have the opportunity to share your insights and ask your questions during the Q&A session.

DIGITAL HUMANITIES (DH) is at the intersection of computing or digital technologies and the disciplines of the humanities. It involves the development and use of digital resources and methods in the humanities, as well as the analysis of their application. DH scholarship means collaborative, transdisciplinary, and computationally engaged research, teaching, and publishing.
The Alliance of Digital Humanities Organizations (ADHO) promotes and supports digital research and teaching across all humanities disciplines, acting as a community-based advisory force, and supporting excellence in research, publication, collaboration and training.
The annual ADHO Digital Humanities Conference is the central and largest event of the international DH community and unites scholars from across the globe, presenting them with a unique opportunity for the exchange of their work and ideas and the fostering of future collaborations.
The conference theme, “Collaboration as Opportunity” showcases transdisciplinary and transnational collaboration, with a special focus on the South-Eastern European DH community. It will explore how mutual empowerment and collaboration of neighboring countries – regardless of continent and geopolitical placement – can transform regional hubs of expertise to international networks of excellent research, to the benefit of the global DH community.

10.00 Welcome I Moderators for the day: Laura Nemvalts (Specialist of Digital Humanities at National Library of Estonia) and Krister Kruusmaa (Data Scientist at the National Library of Estonia)
10.05 Opening words I Janne Andresoo (General Director at the National Library of Estonia)
10.10–11.40 Inspiration panel (all the presenters join the seminar through Zoom; in English)
Annika Rockenberger (University of Oslo Library) – “Sharing is Caring. Digital Research Support, Skills Development & Special Collections Digitisation at the University of Oslo Library”
The presenter talks about a core value of libraries: sharing. Sharing knowledge and information, but also skills, methods, and research activities. The University of Oslo Library is Norway's oldest university library and, until 1999, served as Norway's National Library, too. Now, it is home to a vast collection of research literature and several unique special collections of mostly non-Norwegian origin. With a recent strategic re-orientation, the library is focusing on digitisation in its various aspects. Their leading thought is: „How can we share our various collections – and smaller, more dispersed collections at the faculties and institutes at the University of Oslo - with our researchers and students here in Oslo, in Norway, and beyond: with the international scientific and cultural heritage community?“. They employ a three-fold approach:
Jessica Wevers and Rianne Koning (Royal Library of the Netherlands) – “Creative experiments by students”
KB collaborated with the art academy, creating artistic exhibitions in the national library with the digitized Alba Amicorum collections. Additionally, they created a living library by building interactive installations with students from the technical university of Delft using our digital collections.
Sophie Hammer and Martin Krickl (Austrian National Library) – “ONB Labs Artistic Experiments – Artists engaging with digital collections of the Austrian National Library”
ONB Labs is the platform of the Austrian National Library for the scientific and creative use of digital collections. In addition to the general opening of selected digital collections as images, texts and metadata, the ONB Labs actively seek the exchange with young as well as established artists since the beginning of the ONB Labs in 2018. This talk discusses the process and results of the ONB Labs' recent 'artistic experiments': three programs that invited artists to creatively and critically engage with the library's digital collections, organised in the course of the EU co-funded project "Open Digital Libraries".
11.40–12.10 Coffee break
12.10–13.10 Discussion panel I “About the future of creative use of digital collections – where could we move on and what should we do about it” I Moderated by Peeter Tinits (Head Specialist of Digital Humanities at the National Library of Estonia) (in Estonian)
Panelists: Kadri Vare (Institute of the Estonian Language), Mikk Meelak (Estonian Academy of Arts, Platvorm), Mirjam Rääbis (Estonian National Heritage Board) and Indrek Ibrus (Tallinn University)
13.10–14.00 Lunch
14.00–15.30 Inspiration panel (all the presenters join the seminar through Zoom; in English)
Fredrik Norén (Umeå University) – “Swedish Riksdag 1867–2022: An Ecosystem of Linked Open Data”
The parliament has the power to transform society’s future. Its documents constitute a democratic resource for our present-day that, in turn, can be used by researchers to remodel our understanding of the past. In this talk, the presenter will present a newly funded research infrastructure project to enhance the possibility of exploring the Swedish parliamentary past. The purpose of the project is to (1) create a database of all members of parliament since 1867 and (2) to link members to the speeches they gave, motions they wrote, committees they were part of, and – if they were part of the government – bills they were responsible for.
Vojtěch Malínek (Polish Academy of Sciences) – “Current Situation in European Bibliographies for the Humanities”
The presentation will introduce the activities and outputs of Bibliographical Data Working Group (BDWG) of DARIAH-ERIC Consortium. Established in 2019, BDWG has gathered scholars, IT developers and data curators interested in bibliographical data curation and research. The main output of the BDWG efforts is a white paper "An Analysis of the Current Bibliographical Data Landscape in the Humanities. A Case for the Joint Bibliodata Agendas of Public Stakeholders" (2022) which is mapping current situation and trends in European landscape of bibliographies for humanities. Another project related to BDWG Community is a portal Literarybibliography.eu which tries to present European literary bibliographies in a joint interface. At the moment, three national datasets (Czech, Polish and Finnish) are available and systematically harmonised, while joint authority file is created based on re-use of wikidata. Last but not least, short overview of the Czech Literary Bibliography research infrastructure and its internationally relevant activities will be given.
Thomas Padilla (Internet Archive)
Increasingly, libraries, archives, and museums seek to support computational use of their collections as data. This talk will share lessons learned from a national effort to support small, medium, and large GLAM institutions in the development of collections amenable to computational research and pedagogy.
15.30–17.00 I Workshop I Participants reflect on the ideas received during the day and ground the inspiration gathered I Regina Tagger and Margus Veimann (Service Designers at the National Library of Estonia) (in Estonian)
17.00–19.00 I Presentation of the RaRa virtual lab platform by the National Library of Estonia team (in Estonian) followed by snacks and wine
