Event/Course Description

INTERNATIONAL MEETING

Rationale

Programming in Digital Humanities (DH) is one of the most challenging topics in this field of knowledge and research. Unfortunately, a significant number of DH’ers coming from areas of knowledge such as literature, philology, history, etc., still experience great difficulties when it comes to use programming languages to handle their data and display it. This meeting aims to address these difficulties and discuss the latest developments associated to programming in DHs by bringing together scientists from different areas within the community.

Topics

The meeting program covers several fundamental topics in the field of programming in Digital Humanities, e.g.:

  • Data programming infrastructures

  • Data handling and analytics (small or big data)

  • Programming languages, e.g., Python, Julia, R

  • Programming stylistics

  • Using artificial intelligence

  • Training human resources in programming in DHs

Proceedings

The conference proceedings will be published with Springer.
