Linguistic Field(s): Computational Linguistics 

Call Deadline: 17-Jul-2017 

Meeting Description:

Computational linguists often teach digital humanities (DH) modules that focus
on using / applying / adapting NLP technologies and resources to DH problems.
The challenge in such modules is to introduce students with a background in
humanities or social sciences to technical content without going into detail.
NLP tools often require special input formats, knowledge of program options,
and post-processing of the output. NLP resources are often not easily
accessible and provide only limited interaction. Interfaces and search tools
require knowledge of specialized search syntax.

The workshop is intended to provide a forum for such ''NLP teachers'' to share
experiences, discuss best practices, introduce teaching concepts, and present
demos of existing technology. It also provides an opportunity for DH
researchers to express their needs and provide directions for future DH
curricular developments. The workshop is intended to foster collaborations and
to cross-fertilize knowledge and approaches across DH disciplines.

Teach4DH is co-organized by GSCL's SIG Education and Profession.

Held in conjunction with GSCL 2017 (http://gscl2017.dfki.de/),
Berlin, Germany, September 12, 2017


Call for Papers:
