Program:
Digital humanities Drop-In
C360. 10:00 - 11:00 Dec 17, 2025
Do you have questions about digital humanities resources, digital resources, research software, digital methods, or programming? Or if you’ve started project on your own, you might want to consult a digital humanist, data scientist or digital methods expert? All faculty and students are welcome to attend our weekly Digital Humanities Drop-In on Wednesdays from 10 to 11.
Introduction to RTI
C361. 10:00 - 11:00 Dec 17, 2025
This workshop offers a practical introduction to Reflectance Transformation Imaging (RTI) and its use for revealing fine surface details. Participants learn how RTI images are captured, processed, and interpreted, and how the technique supports research in cultural heritage and related fields. Through hands-on examples, attendees explore interactive visualisations that enhance texture and material analysis. No prior experience required.
Visualisation of Text
C360. 11:00-12:00 Dec 17, 2025
This workshop takes participants from messy, unstructured text to clear and meaningful visualisations. We introduce key steps in text processing and analysis—such as tokenisation, NER, sentiment analysis, and topic modelling—and show how these shape interpretation. Practical examples reveal linguistic patterns and themes through visual forms like networks and embedding maps. No prior experience required.
Annotating Images - Shaping Generative AI
C361. 13:00 - 14:00 Dec 17, 2025
This workshop contributes to the project Iconologies of AI through a collective, manual image-annotation session using works from Källström & Fäldt and Thomas Sauvin’s Beijing Silvermine archive. Participants engage in an artistic exploration of how human annotation shapes datasets for generative AI and influences shared human–machine vision. The annotated material will support the development of a more human-centred AI model. No computers or digital tools are used.
Introduction to Wikidata
C360. 13:00 - 14:00 Dec 17, 2025
This lecture offers a practical introduction to the free knowledge base Wikidata and how it can be used for research. Participants learn how to create, edit, and query entries, and gain insight into tools that often require no programming skills. The session is ideal for students and researchers interested in Wikidata and linked open data; no prior experience is needed.
