Deep Learning with Humans-In-The-Loop: Active Learning for NLP (2025)
The abundance of text data and the advent of powerful deep learning models has led to rapid advancements in Natural Language Processing (NLP). However, adapting models to specialized tasks still requires a nuanced understanding of the data. This adaption often requires human-annotated data that are considered to be time-consuming and labor-intensive. Active Learning addresses this by strategically involving humans in the learning loop, selecting instances for annotation that are most likely to maximize performance gains. This approach not only optimizes human effort but also enhances the model’s adaptability to specific tasks with fewer annotated instances, making the training process more efficient and effective. In this workshop you will get introduced to the concepts of Human-In-The-Loop Learning and (Deep) Active Learning. In a hands-on practical session, you will design a (Deep) Active Learning Cycle using Python.
Metascience 2025
Many scholarly fields conduct descriptive research about the research process. Advocates and reformers have prescriptive ideas about how the research process might be improved. Policymakers, funders, publishers, and other stakeholders enact changes to the social and technical infrastructure of research. All have an interest in whether changes and reforms have their intended effects or unintended consequences that might accelerate or inhibit advancement, translation, and application of research. Together, these researchers and stakeholders are the research and development pipeline for improving the system and practice of research. The Metascience 2025 Conference will bring these communities together to share ideas, evidence, and foster a culture of continuous experimentation and improvement
DataLad Workshop and Hackathon
Organizing decentrally stored data requires more than just a good overview and discipline. The right tool plays a crucial role in successful data management and productive collaboration in research teams. One such tool is DataLad, whose powerful features make it much easier to manage, version and distribute large amounts of data and promote the reproducibility of research processes. The first day of the workshop is dedicated to the basics and an introduction to the subject matter. Starting with a compact introduction to Git, the basic concepts and functions of DataLad will then be explained. Second day: in a “hackathon” session, participants will work in teams on their own projects or use cases. At the end of the workshop, the teams will present their results, providing a comprehensive overview of the various application areas of datalad and stimulating valuable discussions.
Data Ethics and Open Science: Navigating the Complexities of Research Data Accessibility and Transparency
Why is research data often less accessible than expected? What happened to the original idea of open access, and why are we moving away from it despite better tools and technologies? Instead of giving final answers, the webinar invites discussion. It looks at how open science can support transparency, fairness, and responsible data use. We’ll also talk about the risks of relying too much on specific platforms – especially when using AI – and why independent, ethical data practices matter.
Applied Regression Analysis
This course will provide participants who have basic skills in statistics and econometrics with an introduction to current core methods used in the analysis of observational, experimental, and quasi-experimental data.
Rethinking Innovative Open Scholarly Outputs: Practice, Recognition, and Impact
This webinar will explore the landscape of innovative open access publishing formats, especially those that go beyond traditional monographs. We’ll look at their visibility, practical applications, and how they are currently assessed within research evaluation systems. Despite their growing importance, such outputs are often overlooked in traditional academic assessment frameworks.
Horizon Europe Open Science requirements in practice
Have any doubts or questions about your obligations as a Horizon Europe (HE) grant holder in terms of Open Access to publications and Research Data Management? We will present the HE requirements, followed by some time for your questions to our experts. You will also get a preview of the main tools and services OpenAIRE provides to help project coordinators and research support staff on the requirements' compliance.
Open Science: Monitoring Progress, Assessing Impact
Launched in September 2022, Open Science Impact Pathways (PathOS) is a three-year, European Union-funded project dedicated to identifying and measuring the multifaceted impacts of open science. This conference marks the culmination of PathOS, providing a platform to share insights, validate findings, and support the advancement of the principles outlined in the UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science. The event also aims to foster collaboration across diverse initiatives.
TriebfedOERn 2.0
Welche Anreize, Incentives und Rahmenumstände braucht es für OER (und OEP)? In diesem Barcamp wollen wir uns austauschen, gegenseitig beraten, unterstützen oder auch einfach Fragen sammeln. Was motiviert Lehrende OER zu erstellen? Welche Unterstützungsstrukturen brauchen Erstellende und Multiplikator*innen? Wie können wir die Weiternutzung von OER für Lehrende attraktiv gestalten? Und welchen Raum können wir für offene Lehr-/Lernpraktiken (OEP) schaffen?
HMC FAIR Friday: “Distance and Data Reuse” with Paul Groth
The literature contains a myriad of recommendations, advice, and strictures about what data providers should do to facilitate data reuse. It can be overwhelming. Based on empirical work (analyzing data reuse proxies at scale, understanding data sensemaking and looking at how researchers search for data), I talk about what practices are a good place to start for helping others to reuse your data. I then introduce the construct of distance between data provider and data reuser to help understand where to invest for data, which is based on a recent paper in Harvard Data Science Review: Borgman, C. L., & Groth, P. (2025). From Data Creator to Data Reuser: Distance Matters. Harvard Data Science Review.
ESRA 2025 Conference
The conference theme is “Promises and problems of new and alternative data sources and data formats for survey research. Methodological challenges and substantive conclusions”. The conference shocases the latest survey research and offers a number of professional development opportunities, including short courses and awards.
Maximising Your Impact
In this workshop we will identify what impact is (and isn’t), the different types of impact and the potential 'reach and significance' of your research. You will reflect on how well prepared you are to create and capture impact and look at the important role played by your stakeholders. You will leave the session having made a good start on your Impact Map, which will provide a useful guide for you as your research evolves.
Workshop: Generative KI: Urheberrecht und Creative Commons
Der Online-Workshop informiert über urheberrechtlichen Fragen bei der Nutzung generativer KI-Systeme. Im Fokus steht dabei die Weiternutzung von KI-Output in Lehrveranstaltungen – auch im Rahmen von offenen Bildungsmaterialien (Open Educational Resources (OER)).
FSCI 2025: Working towards Open Scholarship in the Age of Intelligent Automation
In a world where AI plays a role in an increasing amount of our workflows, we all work to increasing draw the academic publishing community towards a world of Open Scholarship, in various ways and at differing levels. FSCI is a platform for professionals in the field to educate your colleagues about an aspect of this important work. FSCI courses often focus on one particular aspect of this work and provide practical training, while paying attention to the broader issues at play. Other FSCI courses look more squarely at theoretical problems and explore new solutions. We hope to focus on these components as we present a variety of courses on topics across the scholarly communication ecosphere.
Research Data Management in Funding Proposals
Bei der Antragstellung für Forschungsförderungen – sei es bei der DFG, der EU-Kommission oder privaten Stiftungen – ist die Planung des Forschungsdatenmanagements (FDM) ein entscheidender Bestandteil. Fördermittelgeber erwarten eine projektspezifische Darstellung, wie mit Forschungsdaten umgegangen wird. In dieser Coffee Lecture gibt Cora Assmann (Competence Center Digital Research) einen Überblick über die zentralen Anforderungen an das FDM seitens relevanter Förderorganisationen. Zudem werden FDM-Themen vorgestellt, für die Fördermittel beantragt werden können, sowie Unterstützungsangebote für die Antragstellung.
