Theory in Digital Humanities
Lukáš Zámečník (March 18 2021, 10:00)
The aim of the workshop will be a conceptual analysis of Digital Humanities. We will start with the plurality of existing definitions of this field and we will try to propose a new definition that relates Digital Humanities to the dynamical systems theory and quantitative linguistics. We will investigate Digital Humanities as a cross-discipline in which the theory and methods of the humanities are transformed due to the dynamical systems theory. The interpretive interface for the new use of these methods is quantitative linguistics.
Processing and mining multimedia with current technologies
Vladimír Matlach (March 19 2021, 10:00)
Current technologies enable us to process and data mine various multimedia such as texts, images, and even videos in ways that were not possible a few years ago. Progress in artificial neural networks and deep learning fueled the understanding of semantics of words, sentences, and texts, enabled its accurate syntactic processing, and shifted processing and understanding of images and pictures into never-before-seen levels. The workshop will shed light on why such a shift has happened, what the neural networks are and—in a nutshell—how they work, and how ordinary people can make use of their power.
