This conference:
- Explores whether and how, in the field of digital humanities, BIOGRAPHICAL DATA are special...
Biographies are interesting for analysis with computer techniques, since individuals share a set of common characteristics that can be relatively easily identified by a machine, such as a birthdate, a partner, a profession, and a network. Tools and approaches from the digital humanities can be used for both quantitative analyses of such data and for providing leads for more qualitative research questions.
- Aims at bringing together researchers from both the humanities and the computer sciences to exchange experiences, methods and practices with respect to ICT mediated quantitative and qualitative analysis of biographical data.
What can we do already with computational methods with the huge amount of digital biographical data that is available? What will we be able to do in the future?
What will we not be able to do? |
