Digital Humanities Meets Language Technology: Empirical Insights from a Broadly Stratified Media Resource
Roman Friedrich Schneider
Leibniz Institute for the German Language, Germany
This contribution discusses an innovatively stratified collection of German language data, ranging from informal spoken interactions to formal written texts. It highlights methods for analyzing linguistic patterns using natural language processing, with a particular focus on discourse markers and a machine learning model for identifying them across diverse communicative contexts.
4:00pm - 4:10pm
Infrastructure as a Trope of Reality
Maciej Maryl
Institute of Literary Research of the Polish Academy of Sciences, Poland
Research Infrastructures (RIs) in the humanities actively shape our understanding of the world. Using examples of bibliographies and corpora, this paper examines how methodological choices in building RIs in digital literary studies influence representation, advocating for open infrastructures to ensure inclusivity and a more nuanced understanding of the literary landscape.
Accessible Models for High-Performance Computing in the Humanities
Brad Rittenhouse
Stanford University, United States of America
With the rise of LLM and the increasing computational expense of AI, humanists will increasingly turn to high-performance computing (HPC). This can be an alienating pivot for many researchers. As a Research Data Facilitator with a decade of HPC experience, I will present models for effectively integrating humanists into HPC.
Knowledge as a collective enterprise: Technology for orchestration of complex cultural models in DH
Pietro Sichera, Cristina Marras, Enrico Pasini
Consiglio Nazionale Delle Ricerche, CNR - Istituto per il Lessico Intellettuale Europeo e Storia delle Idee, ILIESI - Italy
The paper examines key features of research infrastructures in humanities and cultural heritage that support open science, focusing on federated RIs as marketplaces connecting diverse networks. It discusses the technological foundation and API orchestration for DH workflows within the H2IOSC MarketPlace, highlighting contributions of the OPERAS node to this project.
4:10pm - 4:20pm
Towards Modularised Open Infrastructures: Enhancing Research Publications in Digital Humanities – “Detecting Small Worlds” as an Example.
1University of Potsdam, Germany; 2Saarland University, Germany; 3Freie Universität Berlin, Germany
As the triad of publishing a paper, data and code poses challenges for the comprehensibility, reproducibility, and accessibility of the research, we present our approach towards a "modularised open infrastructure for research publications” in which a publication is accompanied by modules facilitating e.g.reproduction or result investigation.
