Digital Humanities - Science topic

Dear Prof. Prokopowicz!

This is a very exciting question. I think everything depends on humans - our ability to control AGI-based intelligence:

Yours sincerely, Bulcsu Szekely

A very suggestive and interesting question. Indeed, today we live in the age of technology, but I must say one thing: I believe that robots created by thousands cannot do the work that one person can do with their emotions. Because no robot can fulfill the love and affection of a person for the profession. As you mentioned in your question about this, thanks to the creation of robots, unemployment is sure to rise.

Annika provided good resources. I would like to make some addition : https://www.kdnuggets.com/2021/05/awesome-list-datasets.html

All that sounds good to me. I`d also add point 6:

Enjoy doing your doctoral program to the full and no matter what. Virtually, creative activities are good for your mind and soul. They aren`t just about painting, composing music or making some tangible stuff, though. Dive deep into your research and think out of the box. It`s rewarding in many ways :)

I understood that you are looking for how ICT based educational technology influencing the literature of the language studies.

Here we can classify the ICT has both modern and traditional.

The modern ICT devices supporting the scholars with digital technologies whereas the traditional ICT like Newspaper, Magazines, pamphlets etc.

The linguistics research also influenced by ICT devices to dig more in-depth knowledge of the literature review of the particular research studies.

Navigating the new knowledge and literatures through Internet would support the scholars to get exact literatures according to their research.

The digital Access to Information is also another influenced factor for searching the more pertinent literatures for language.

The semantic and syntactic version of the knowledge on the particular language literatures could be possibly obtained in a short period of time.

Hi Uriel,

I use Palladio software developed by Stanford for my visualisations of spatial, temporal and relational analyses of archaeological data. Check it out and let me know if you find it useful for your data.

Hi @Valeria Demchenko

This is an interesting discussion !

I believe that artificial intelligence can make Taylor's vision more efficient in many ways and with new methods.

What do you think about the fuzzy attitude and rules of the Taylor Theory?

I suggest you think about this.

Good luck

You`re welcome!

Snehal Nagarsheth thank you, will read up about it!

Most times there is, it all depends on the editorial decision. Sometimes the journal is provided as an online article which the author(s) can download as personal(their) own copy(ies)

Thank you all for your responses. They have been quite helpful in pointing to cognitive and communication theories and some authorities on the topic. Meliha

Hi Gourav,

Many thanks for the suggestion.

Appreciated.

Najhan

Thank you!

Thanks a lot!@Michael Uebel

This is a good question, since it seems the definition can easily fluctuate.

Here is everything I have collected about DH: https://blog.stcloudstate.edu/ims?s=digital+humanities

Educause ELI shared last year 7 things one needs to know about DH:

https://blog.stcloudstate.edu/ims/2017/11/11/digital-humanities-2/ and a defintion:

"Digital humanities applies computational capabilities to humanistic questions, offering new pathways for scholars to conduct research and to create and publish scholarship."

According to the 2016 DH workshop at the U of Leipzig, DH (as many other definitions point out) included the ability to code, structure and render data, analyze data and visualize data: https://blog.stcloudstate.edu/ims/2016/06/06/digital-humanities-workshop/

I find Marija Dalbello's response as concise and to the point, since one Journal issue might cover just about any trends of DH. It can be a good approach to coin your own definition of DH by perusing through the article in the issue. The 2016 issue of Journal of Emerging Learning Design also is devoted to DH: https://blog.stcloudstate.edu/ims/2016/08/30/the-journal-of-emerging-learning-design-special-issue-the-digital-humanities/

You should be more specific: what kind of analysis are you interested in? For what language?

If you want to perform basic NLP tasks on English texts I suggest you the Stanford CoreNLP suite, which offers tools for POS tagging, parsing, NER and sentiment analysis.

Hi Raynel,

there is a lot of research done on virtual communities of practice . This work may be of value to you.

Meliha

It is a great initiative！Using words, pictures and interactive videos is one of the efficient means of utilizing technology in the sharing of knowledge. Congratulations my brother. Many of us would mimic your footsteps.

My little caution is to verify facts you want to present in the videos as we do in research （Validity）and practice what you intend to post via knowledge sharing to rid it of all possible mistakes. All the best.

Dear Krzysztof Walk,

Generally speaking, in linguistic research in general and in contrastive linguistic research in particular, the use of parallel corpora is indispensable. Over the past few decades, there has been a significant use of computer corpora in linguistic research addressing various linguistic domains such as discourse analysis , socio pragmatic contrastive analysis and so on. The reason is that parallel corpora  are a valuable source of data which have proliferated the bulk of  insightful research in  contrastive linguistics. As such, we can say that parallel corpora can serve a number of purposes in linguistic and humanistic studies:

a) They increase the level of rigor  in comparative analysis of  the two targeted languages.

b) They provide us with an in-depth  understanding of micro/ macro linguistic objectives which serve as the tertium comprationis in contrastive research.

c) They can shed light on the delicate structural and cultural  differences between languages under investigation.

d) They can serve a wide range of pedagogical and professional objectives such as  lexicography,  researching nature of language teaching and learning as well as translation.

Best regards,

R. Biria

I am a phonetician and I would use them in order to perform an automatic analysis or annotation. Let's say that I want to phonetically transcribe all messages that arrive to my web and they can arrive either in Spanish or Catalan. The transcriber that I use needs to know the language before begining the transcription because "vowel+s + vowel" should be transcribed [s] in Spanish but [z] in Catalan and I don't want to review every message I get for checking the language since I want the transcription to be performed in real-time. Or maybe giving a personalized automatic answer in the language that people talk to you.

Therefore, it is necessary for every language-specific analysis or transcription tool and for automatic translation and dialogue systems.

For actual texts, I fancy the idea of having a "language detector" where you put a piece of language from a 12th book and the system tells you: this was written in old Spanish from the 12th century :D

Hi Maria - I need reviewers for proposals and submitted chapters. Here is the Call for Chapters: 

Since the mid-1970s, archaeology in the US has become more-and-more an interdisciplinary science. We (practicing/professional consulting/contracting and cultural-resource-management) archaeologists have tended to remain on the forefront of adopting new technologies (e.g. digital photography, aerial photography, remote-sensing, drones, GPR, GIS, GPS ... the Internet-of-Everything ... open access publishing) and working closely/cooperatively with any-and-all scientists in other disciplines who may help us find answers to our problems. Because we have had good and early experience managing our research as interdisciplinarians, that has predisposed us to be early-adopters and exploiters (and purveyors to other disciplines) of any new digital technologies and methods. The academic archaeologists (in universities) have been much slower and more conservative in adopting-and-teaching new digital methods (although we practical archaeologists have managed to more-or-less drag them along, screaming-and-kicking against anything new, trying to maintain the status-quo of traditional methods, into the new digital age). I think, nowadays, even the staid academics are just-about-over their tantrums, and realize that, contrary to what they initially believed-and-argued (feared), the new digital age will not destroy archaeology, but has only aided in its progress and the global realization that archaeology is not a totally esoteric pursuit, but offers one of the best ways we may have to ever understanding how we have become the people (cultures) we are nowadays (and understanding the past challenges we have overcome bearing-on humankind's very survival so that we may chart a better-and-safer path for the future). Perhaps the greatest value of the "digital humanities" is providing timely information to all researchers/teachers on failed experiments, and unproductive lines-of-research, so as to prevent the wasted efforts/resources as in the past ... before such instantaneous and global awareness was possible.

The Literature Atlas may be an interesting project in this regard. See http://www.literaturatlas.eu/en/

First resource: Walid AL-SAQAF <walid.al-saqaf@ims.su.se>.  He's a Yemeni publisher / blogger who ran into trouble with the authorities and then built his own circumvention software that is now widely used in the Arab World.

Dr. Rasha Abdulla <rasha@aucegypt.edu> is a communication scholar in Egypt and might well have resources, suggestions.

Hope these are useful!

Hello.

On what I know about Digital Humanities, it is focus on the interacion human-computer and the philosophical quest models on the Humanities purpose in the world, now that all technology is around, studying, deliberating and talking about how we evolve as humans through technology.

For that matter, talking about entrepreneruship and digital humanities must be always a question on the person itself. Which purpose impulse an entrepreneur to engage into a: community, group of clients, social activities, etc. And also, what digital tools (only focus on the human side interaction) are used to achieve this purpose (or to improve it, or to enhance such entrepreneurship engagement).

These are my ideas regarding your question. I hope they are useful.

At first I wanted to give on your question an answer. However, the answer of Katharina contains completely everything and more what I could say in addition. Really has been shown with the help of theKraft-Haltungs-Modell of  RAMSIS repeatedly how the posture adjusts itself with the use of the hand brake as a function of the individual Perzentil in such a way that the demanded forces can be raised. However, an evaluation of these calculations did not take place after my knowledge up to now.

Hi Manuel,

there are indeed some options you can choose to lemmatize German. In case you are already happy with a stemmer you might want to have a look at this part of NLTK: http://www.nltk.org/api/nltk.stem.html

If you need lemmatization you probably find something useful here if you are familir with python:

If you prefer java you might want to look at Stanfords parser:

That is to my knowledge also able to parse and lemmatize German.

Python as well as Java have API's that allow you to scrape Facebook just google for it. It is easy to find. I hope this helps you.

Cheers, Markus

Hi Anelia,

at our University (Regensburg, Germany) there is a large archive of digitized, historic radio ads. Maybe you can find some relevant information on their website:

WebGL is an standard that is overlooked by the Khronos group and you have free software that can run it (Firefox), and Chrome and Internet Explorer should also be able to show it. There are also ways to translate code from different languages to javascript (https://github.com/kripken/emscripten/wiki) which means if you don't want to learn javascript you could also work in another language.

With flash you are completely dependend on Adobe and the flash plug-in is notoriously known for its security flaws.

Yes, we work with that issues in the Center for Geographical Studies/Institute of Geography and Space Planning of the Lisbon University. Perhaps we can share study cases related to urban areas. www.ceg.ul.pt

You can contact me (Maria Luisa Rodrigues, rodrigues.mluisa@gmail.com)

I can provide two examples of US-american historians: Sharon Block used topic modelling to investigate the content of the Pennsylvania Gazette from 1728-1800 (see the article here: http://www.common-place.org/vol-06/no-02/tales/). And Cameron Blevins investigated a historical diary containing over 10.000 entries between 1785 and 1812 (http://historying.org/2010/04/01/topic-modeling-martha-ballards-diary/).
