Aims and scope

Researchers have explored the benefits and applications of modern Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms in different scenarios. Digital Humanities (DH) is a newly-emerging field that brings together humanities, social, and computer scientists to work both on fundamental and applied research in humanities. The large-scale cultural and societal implications of these changes and the ethical questions that raise offer an important challenge as techniques in Artificial Intelligence and Data Learning have matured. Thus, there has been a wide range of computational tools, methods, and models that have enabled humanities to conduct research at a scale once thought impossible.

The goal of this workshop is to encourage and highlight novel strategies and original research in applying Artificial Intelligence techniques in digital humanities research such as data discovery, digital data creation, management, data analytics (including text mining, image mining and data visualization) in literature, linguistics, culture heritage, media, social science, history, music and acoustics, and Artificial Intelligence for Digital Humanities in pedagogy and academic curricula. This Workshop aims not only to serve as a venue for presenting work in this area but also to build a community and share information in this new field.
