MCML Meets Humanities 2023
Workshop on October 16–17, 2023
Hochschule für Philosophie München, Kaulbachstraße 31/33, 80539 München
Machine learning algorithms and data science techniques are getting increasingly popular among researchers in the humanities („Digital humanities”). In this workshop, we aim to bring together students and young researchers working in mathematics, computer science, the humanities and cultural history, to learn about state-of-the-art tools, both those readily designed with a specific use in the humanities in mind, and novel research, which could have a potential usecase in the digital humanities.
Keynotes
Keynote speakers include
- Massimo Fornasier (TUM, Mathematics)
- Olga Popovich (TUM, Engineering)
- Stefan Baums (LMU & BADW, Indian and Tibetan Studies)
- Nicola Lercari (LMU, Digital Cultural Heritage)
Workshops
The following four hour intensive workshops are designed for PhD students and postdocs, to learn state-of-the-art tools and methodology for text-based research. Please bring a laptop to the workshop.
