Workshop description

Digital humanities (DH) stand at the intersection of computing and the humanities, involving collaborative transdisciplinary research. While current DH practice already shows an impressive array of new digital tools and methods for the study of the humanities, we believe that natural language processing techniques and experience can significantly enhance the field, while DH can also bring new testbeds and problems for the NLP community.

As shown in the previous workshops, there is an increasing set of researchers in the processing of Portuguese who are interested in this active collaboration, and we believe that we should cater for a forum which may join the two communities, DH and NLP, showcasing several different aspects allowed by this cross-fertilization.

The 3rdDHandNLP welcomes papers stemming from humanities that deal with language, such as philosophy, history, geography, law, philology, linguistics, or literature, and that can benefit from a digital approach or enhanced with computational linguistics methods or techniques, be it by using large sets of (written or spoken) textual data or by developing applications for an increasingly digital world. 

We also welcome papers that use “traditional” DH tools or techniques, such as topic modeling, and papers that use standard NLP tools that were already applied in different DH contexts, such as named entity recognition, document clustering and classification, sentiment analysis, dialect/language identification and linked data.

Main workshop topics

• Digital philology, critical editions production and textual criticism
• Lexicometrics, lexicology and lexicography
• Visualization or sonification of large textual bodies in specific domains
• Computational stylometry, authorship attribution and profiling
• Distant reading of literature
• Construction of historical thesauri

Finally, we are especially interested in approaches that deal with historical material, involving not only historical linguistics but historical lexicology, corpus processing and their multilingual analysis.
