Attention Digital Humanities researchers!

In the summer semester 2023, the lecture series "Digital Humanities in Focus: Methods, Applications and Perspectives" will be organized for the first time by the Rostock Working Group Digital Humanities (RosDH) and the Junior Professorship for Digital Humanities. Topical issues concerning the theory, methodology and practice of the digital humanities will be presented by experts from the University of Rostock as well as by invited guests from the German-speaking and international community.

The workshop provides an introduction to working with the NTEE (NEISS TEI Entity Enricher) software, which was developed at the University of Rostock between 2019 and 2022 as part of the EU project "Neural Extraction of Information, Structures and Symmetries in Images". It offers the possibility of retraining BERT architecture language models to recognize user-defined textual phenomena on their own data. The resulting taggers can then be used to annotate texts and evaluate and correct them in post-processing. All of this is done within a graphical user interface: NTEE is specifically designed to make the possibilities of deep learning with BERT language models accessible to users who do not have the necessary practical knowledge.

The aim of the workshop is to provide a basic understanding of deep learning as far as it is necessary for using the tool and to demonstrate the functionality of the tool on the user interface using concrete examples.

On the one hand, the Digital Humanities (DH) are a field in their own right with their own degree programmes, specialist conferences and journals. At the same time, however, they are also an interdisciplinary field of research that consists of cooperation between computer science and the humanities and their respective neighbouring disciplines. What constitutes the DH at its core is only made possible by the interdisciplinary research projects and is thus continuously fertilised.

The aim of the Theme Day is to discuss the emergence of interdisciplinary research projects in the DH. How do project partners find each other, how do ideas for joint projects emerge and how can they be launched?
