The DHAI Seminar

When Digital Humanities Meet Artificial Intelligence

Welcome to the Digital Humanities / Artificial Intelligence Seminar!

Goal

Fostered by the creation of new algorithms, computation power and the development of deep learning techniques, Artificial Intelligence needs constantly to confront new issues and data sets in order to deepen its methodologies and increase its range of scientific applications. Digital humanities, developing digital science methodologies in the study of humanities and using the critical approaches of humanities in the analysis of the contemporary “digital revolutions”, are constantly in search of new tools to explore more and more complex and diversified data sets.

The coupling AI/DH is globally emerging as one key interface for both domains and will probably prove to be a deep transformative trend in tomorrow intellectual world.

The ambition of this seminar is to be one of the places where this coupling is shaped, fostered and analyzed. It intends to offer a forum where both communities, understood in a very inclusive way, exchange around emerging issues, ongoing projects, and past experiences in order to build a common language, a shared space, and to encourage innovative cooperation on the long run.

Next seminars

The seminar will meet at 10h at the Centre Sciences des Données at the École Normale Supérieure unless otherwise specified.

Date: 14 May 2024, 10h-12h
Location: Centre Sciences des Données at the École Normale Supérieure
Speaker: Thibault Clérice (INRIA) & Malametenia Vlachou-Efstathiou (IRHT/IMAGINE-ENPC)
Title: The CATMuS initiative: building large and diverse corpora for handwritten text recognition
Abstract: The CATMuS (Consistent Approaches to Transcribing ManuScripts) initiative is a set of datasets and guidelines meant for training large and generalizing HTR models. In this presentation, we set out to present the issues behind handwritten text recognition of historical documents over a long time and many languages, the choices we faced and how we addressed them. We'll present the resulting dataset for the Middle Ages, the first one to be published out of the CATMuS Initiative, and will present initial results with some models.
