Seen by Machine: Machine learning in the BBC Archive, Thu 6th Dec, 6-8pm
by Gray, Jonathan 04 Dec '18

04 Dec '18

For those of you in/around London, we will be hosting a talk with Daniel Chavez at KCL on Thursday evening on a recent experiment to curate clips from BBC archives using machine learning algorithms. The seminar series is public so, as always, please do feel free to forward to colleagues, students, friends and anyone else who might be interested! ** ## Seen by Machine: Machine learning in the BBC Archive ## Register: http://seen-by-machine.eventbrite.co.uk ## When? Thu 6 December 2018, 18:00 – 20:00 GMT ## Where? King's College London, Bush House Lecture Theatre 2 BH(S)4.04, Level 4, South, King's College London, 30 Aldwych, London, WC2B 4BG Can we programme machines to find value in moving imagery? Discussing an experiment with the BBC's archive, Daniel Chávez Heras (King’s College London) will show and introduce elements from the video project Made by Machine: When AI met the Archive. Together with a team of researchers at BBC R&D, they created a television programme from archive footage using different machine learning techniques. Daniel will show a selection of clips from the programme and will critically examine the methods used to produce them. Through these examples, he will introduce the idea of computational spectatorship as a way to understand how our visual regimes are increasingly mediated by machine-seers. Can audiovisual archives be considered “cultural big data” and are moving images like any other type of data? ** Bio: Daniel has been working with pictures and computers, in various capacities, for over ten years. He trained as a designer, back in his native Mexico, and has worked professionally in print media, television, and digital. In 2010 he was awarded a Jumex fellowship for the study of contemporary art, and he holds an MA in Film Studies from King’s College London, where he is now trying to train computers to watch films for his PhD at the department of digital humanities. Daniel’s research is funded by Mexico’s Ministry of Education through its Science and Technology Research Council (CONACYT). ** This event is part of a public seminar series on *critical inquiry with and about the digital*, organised by the Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London.

resources for researches from underdeveloped countries
by Hamlet López 04 Dec '18

04 Dec '18

Dear all, I would like to compile and share with my colleagues and students a list of resources for social researchers from underdeveloped countries focused in internet research. That would be mainly for Latinoamericans and Caribbeans, but also can be of interest for academicians from Asia or Africa. Examples of resources: international research networks, international research projects, funding opportunities for research and academic travels... Any suggestions? Suggestions to widely publish such list will be welcome as well! Thanks in advance.

CFP – "Digital Economy" – a new Network at SASE conference, June 2019, NY
by kevin.mellet＠orange.com 03 Dec '18

03 Dec '18

Dear all, We invite your submissions to the new “Digital Economy” Network at the Society for the Advancement of Socio-Economics (SASE) conference which is to take place at the New School (New York, USA), 27-29 June 2019 (https://sase.org/event/2019-new-york-city/) After several years in the form of mini-conferences, the constitution of this network (Network J) marks the institutionalization of the digital economy as a field of research within the SASE community. We hope to make this network an open, lively and welcoming place for all researchers interested in the socio-economic facets of the digital economy. It is possible to submit in two different categories: Individual Papers and Sessions. Abstracts for submissions to regular networks should be no longer than 500 words. To submit a session, you must include both an overall abstract for the session and abstracts for each of the 3-5 papers composing the session. Important dates: - The deadline for submitting proposals is 14 January 2019. - Acceptance notifications will be sent by mid-February 2019. - Full papers are expected by 6 May 2019 Best wishes, SASE “Digital Economy” Network organizers ---------------------------------------- J: Digital Economy Digital technologies are contributing to radical, growing and unpredictable transformations of economic life, raising a broad range of new issues for scholars of the economy. This research network is dedicated to the study of these issues. We are particularly interested in the impact of these developments on market processes and actors, on goods themselves, on non-market forms of economy, and on wider social outcomes. In the area of market processes we encourage discussion, for example, of intermediaries and business models such as the platform economy, coordination instruments such as participatory evaluation systems, digital reputations, the massive collection of consumer data, virtual and alternative currencies, bots, algorithms, new kinds of digital objects and forms of qualification and calculation. Digital technology can also provide a platform for non-market forms of economy, and we welcome contributions on digital forms of gift and participative economy as well as the use of digital platforms for governmental initiatives and services. Ultimately we are interested in the impact of such developments on wider social outcomes, including inequality, inclusion and exclusion on the basis of gender, class, race, ethnicity and geopolitical region, governance capacities, systemic risk, environmental change, and political engagement with economic issues. Network organizers: - Thomas Beauvisage - Jean-Samuel Beuscart - Dave Elder-Vass - Timur Elgen - Anne Jourdain - Kevin Mellet - Sidonie Naulin - Elke Schüßler Conference website and general call: https://sase.org/event/2019-new-york-city/ SASE Networks: https://sase.org/about/networks/ Submission link: https://sase.org/events/conference-submission-and-award-guidelines/ _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Ce message et ses pieces jointes peuvent contenir des informations confidentielles ou privilegiees et ne doivent donc pas etre diffuses, exploites ou copies sans autorisation.
