GOA UNIVERSITY Goa Business School Workshop on the Portuguese Presence in Goa in Digital Perspective by Sofia Ribeiro and Paulo Quaresma, Évora University, Portugal on 16th December 2023 at 2 pm in Chemistry Auditorium, Block E, SCS, Goa University as part of the 15th Forum for Information Retrieval Evaluation (FIRE 2023) (15th December 2023 to 18th December 2023) conference (http://fire.irsi.res.in/fire/2023)
The 15th edition of the conference of Forum for Information Retrieval Evaluation 2023 (FIRE 2023) will be held at Goa Business School, Goa University, Goa, India. FIRE started in 2008 with the aim of building a South Asian counterpart for TREC, CLEF, and NTCIR, and has since evolved continuously to support and encourage research within the information retrieval community. FIRE has adapted to meet the new challenges in multilingual information access and frameworks for large-scale evaluation of information retrieval methods, primarily text
In its 15th milestone year, FIRE brings in a renewed industry track and a doctoral colloquium with the aim of engaging industry and academia bilaterally with ideas, mentorship, and delivery. The doctoral consortium aims to provide a platform for PhD students to share their ideas with distinguished researchers across academia and industry that can help them shape their PhD problem into a scalable product. Further, continuing the trend in earlier editions of FIRE, this year also FIRE will hold peer-reviewed conference track and evaluation tracks to encourage research in the field of Information Retrieval (IR) and Natural Language Processing (NLP).
This year the FIRE 2023 is proposed to be held December 15-18, 2023 at Goa Business School, Goa University. This conference will have participants from across the globe having their research interests in the fields of NLP, AI, ML, IR, IE, etc. This international conference will help students, researchers, faculty, and language and linguistic professionals (especially locals and Konkani language enthusiasts in Goa) to gain knowledge and insights into the research areas and latest trends in the areas of AI, ML, IR, IE, and NLP.
A special workshop on “Portuguese presence in Goa in digital perspective” by Sofia Ribeiro and Paulo Quaresma, Évora University, Portugal is organized on 16/12/2023 from 2 pm to 4 pm at Chemistry Auditorium, SCS, Block E, Goa University with following aims.
Historical research on the Portuguese presence in India and in Goa, as the capital state of the Portuguese Estado da Índia has been renewed in recent years. Issues concerning its administration, hybrid religious and social dynamics, and economic specificities have been approached in an increasingly decolonized perspective, considering processes of violence and negotiation or the mandatory political, economic, and social relationships between the colonizers and the people, States and institutions that already existed before the arrival of Vasco da Gama to Calicut in 1498. This new historical perspective which seeks to escape the traditional eurocentrism have allowed to comprehend the uniqueness of Goa society in India in the present, fostered within a multi-secular network of relational ties between different visions of the world, between Portugal and India.
The organizers are presently developing with other colleagues the research project MONSOON, the Habsburg Estado da India in Digital Perspective (1580 - 1640), that seeks to understand the internal dynamics of the region encompassing from the East coast of Africa until Macao and Japan under the Habsburgs’ rule, by digital extraction of information of the Livros das Monções.
The project development, the celebration of the 50 th anniversary of the Portuguese acknowledgment of Goa, Daman and Diu independence and incorporation in the India State in 2024, and the organization of the FIRE – Forum for Information Retrieval Evaluation at Goa University offer a perfect opportunity to put together a set of experts in Portuguese History of Goa and Digital Humanities from both Portuguese and Indian institutions, in order to promote a closer collaboration in the study of the Portuguese heritage and past in the Goa region.
This workshop aims to present different research perspectives of such shared past between Portugal and Goa implying digital humanities methods, with the focus in the comprehension and potential analysis of data extracted from textual historical sources. It also aims to promote dialogue between historical and scientific groups of Goa and Portugal to join efforts to disseminate this common cultural heritage.
Ms Yma Pinto, Associate Professor, GBS will coordinate the registrations and will send further details for participation.(y...@unigoa.ac.in)

Dear Frederick Noronha,
Thank you for sharing this information and my greetings to all the members of this group; I've been learning a lot about Goa reading the posts from the group!
We are quite excited with the workshop on Saturday and with the possibility to start a fruitful collaboration and to discuss potential future projects, especially in the context of historical documents and the Goa Archives. In fact, recent natural language processing methodologies, based on Large Language Models (LLM), allow the development of a new generation of tools and the access to a set of information that was impossible some years ago. These are challenging times!
I would be pleased to meet (some of) you in person and to talk and learn more about Goa and the Portuguese presence.
best regards,
Paulo Quaresma
