Colour & AI Symposium and Colour Naming Hackathon

You are invited to join the Colour and AI symposium and a hands-on Colour Naming Hackathon supported by the Colour Group (GB) at the Wittgenstein and AI conference.

In this mini hackathon, we will explore the frequency of colour terms in Wittgenstein’s Remarks on Colour (1951/1977). Participants will learn how to read a text document, pre-process it, count colour terms and visualise them using Python and the corresponding colours from Colournamer, an online application trained by the participants’ responses of an online colour naming experiment. No previous knowledge of Python is assumed but experience in other programming languages would be an advantage. Participants are advised to install the latest Python Anaconda Distribution on their PC in advance.

The event will be held in person on Sunday 31st July 2022 at New College of the Humanities at Devon House, St Katharine Docks, London, E1W 1LP.

Admission at the conference, lunch and coffee/drinks are free for Colour Group members but places are limited. Register your attendance for a ticket using the link below.
