Workshop Description:
Digital humanities (DH) stand at the intersection of computing and the
humanities, involving collaborative transdisciplinary research. While
current DH practice already shows an impressive array of new digital
tools and methods for the study of the humanities, we believe that
natural language processing techniques and experience can
significantly enhance the field, while DH can also bring new testbeds
and problems for the NLP community.
The 4th DHanNLP workshop, co-located with PROPOR, brings together
researchers of both research traditions (humanities and computational
linguists), with interests in multi- and cross-lingual approaches, and
also those with interests in Portuguese language variants and dialects
(including the language varieties of Portugal, Brazil, Cape Verde,
Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, Angola, São Tomé, Macau or Galiza). We
expect papers stemming from humanities that deal with language, such
as philosophy, history, geography, law, philology, linguistics, or
literature, and that can benefit from a digital approach or enhanced
with computational linguistics methods or techniques, be it by using
large sets of (written or spoken) textual data or by developing
applications for an increasingly digital world. Also expected are
papers that describe and evaluate the use of well-known techniques in
new DH applications.
List of non-exclusive, indicative areas of interest for the DHandNLP
workshop:
 - Lexical distribution and computational text analysis
 - Lexicometrics, lexicology and lexicography
 - Textual and discourse complexity studies
 - Keywords and terminology extraction
 - Construction of historical thesauri and glossaries
 - Historical lexicography and lexicology
 - Historical and diachronic corpora processing
 - Digital paleography
 - Digital philology, critical editions production and textual
criticism
 - Multilingual analysis of diachronic/historical corpora
 - Use and construction of ontologies
 - Linked data
 - Document clustering and classification
 - Topic modelling
 - Word sense disambiguation
 - Information Extraction
 - Named entity recognition
 - Sentiment analysis
 - Cross-lingual NLP methods
 - Pronunciation / sonic patterns
 - Visualization or sonification of large textual bodies in specific
domains
 - Corpus visualization
 - Computational stylometry, authorship attribution and profiling
 - Distant reading of literature
 - Multimodal approaches to DH (e.g., combining text, speech, image
analysis)
 - Resources and encoding of digital collections
 - Analysis and recognition of language variants and dialects
