Born-digital culture refers to materials, environments and practices that originate in a digital form. In the 21st century these have rapidly expanded, with many of our contemporary cultural practices increasingly mediated in some way by digital media and technologies. In this course, designed by the Digital Humanities Research Hub at the School of Advanced Study, University of London, you will explore key concepts associated with digital culture and archives, ethical issues, and how to collect and analyse born-digital materials.

Using the reader survey R package LitRiddle, this resource offers a gentle introduction to tabular data analysis in Rstudio. Following along the code examples, students will learn about Rstudio, Markdown files, and how to explore, analyse and transform quantitative data in R.

The emergence of ChatGPT and other generative AI tools presents both opportunities and challenges for academia. While these technologies offer powerful capabilities to support scholarship, their thoughtless adoption could undermine the very foundations of academic work. This talk from Dr. Mark Carrigan, presented as part of the DARIAH Friday Frontiers webinar series, introduces a framework for incorporating generative AI into academic practice in ways that enhance rather than replace human thought.

What connects analysing the creative process of a performance using 20,000 collected digital documents, reconstructing an artist's career from programme data, and preserving a touring show? Following a state-of-the-art review of research in performing arts and digital humanities (literature, history, and representation analysis), this Friday Frontiers webinar addresses current challenges, including data modelling, multimodal analysis, and artificial intelligence.

This webinar from Prof. Jennifer Edmond and Dr. Eleonora Lima at Trinity College Dublin discusses the Knowledge Technologies for Democracy (KT4D) project and its investigation into how democracy and civic participation can be better facilitated in the face of rapidly changing knowledge technologies, namely Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Big Data.

Scholarship in three dimensions can transcend the limitations of traditional two-dimensional representations of objects that exist in the physical world in three dimensions. This presentation showcases the scholarly potential of 3D digital scholarly editions, advocating for their adoption as a new tool in the DH toolkit for new formats for the dissemination and interrogation of knowledge.

This three-day training school organised by the CLS INFRA project focused on dynamic collections of literary texts manipulated programmatically. Learners will learn to find, evaluate, and select corpora using tools like CLSCor and DraCor, and gain skills in Python, Jupyter Notebooks, API querying, Linked Open Data, and Digital Literary Network Analysis. The training addresses reproducibility using Docker, promoting transparent, replicable research in Computational Literary Studies.

Explore this curriculum on Automatic Text Recognition (ATR) and learn how to efficiently extract full text from heritage material images. Perfectly tailored for researchers, librarians, and archivists, these resources not only enhance your archival research and preservation efforts but also unlock the potential for computational analysis of your sources.

This tutorial examines the evolution of Open Access by tracing its historical developments and unpacking the terminology and concepts that continue to shape the movement.

This lesson covers tokenization, part-of-speech tagging, and lemmatization, as well as automatic language detection, for non-English and multilingual text. You'll learn how to use the Python packages NLTK, spaCy, and Stanza to analyze a multilingual Russian and French text.

In this lesson, you'll learn computer vision and machine learning principles for object recognition, and how to apply these principles using Python to recognize and classify smiling faces in historical photographs.

In this lesson, you will learn how to download YouTube video comments and use the R programming language to analyze the dataset with Wordfish, an algorithm designed to identify opposing ideological perspectives within a corpus.

Increase the visibility of your ATR output while fostering Open Science.

Discover the subtleties of region and line segmentation and learn about the purpose of layout analysis for Automatic Text Recognition!

Dive into the fine-tuning of Automatic Text Recognition outputs!

This tutorial explores where and how to find, create, and collect images of textual material, a crucial initial step in any process using Automatic Text Recognition (ATR).

Humanities and social scientific data is fundamentally different in type to a great deal of data available in the sciences. This resource will help you to understand your data, and therefore how to handle it. This resource looks at humanities data and its reliability, as well as different types of data you may encounter.

This lesson demonstrates how to use nanDECK to design and publish your own deck of printed or digital playing cards, and use them to test a group's knowledge of historical events through a Timeline-like game mechanic. This lesson will also highlight best practices for handling digitized historical objects.

A digital gazetteer records information associated with specific places. This lesson teaches you how to create a gazetteer from a historical text, using the Linked Places Delimited (LP-TSV) format.

Get ready to improve the quality of your scanned images before moving to the processing phase of your ATR project.

This presentation demonstrates how specific XR technologies have been developed and used at different outdoor cultural heritage sites in Iceland and reflects on how technologies can be adapted to specific circumstances.

In this presentation we learn about how a computer game company collaborated with a national museum to produce a computer game about the Icelandic Viking past with a focus on women. The game, and collaboration, centers around a single key object in the museum holding. The presentation also discusses plans to develop a virtual museum within the game, to display other objects from the museum for gamers to engage with.

\"What gets into your dataset and what doesn't?\" For database projects in the humanities and social sciences, having a concrete idea of your project scope can be very important. This resource covers scoping methods for Database projects to help narrow down and accurately size the database you are working with in your research.

In this presentation we learn about how 3D scanning of a sculpture museum dedicated to a single Icelandic artist has been used to engage schoolchildren under the umbrella "art for everyone". It also explores other projects with making digital twins for cultural heritage purposes and the role of the private sector in this endeavor.

Word embeddings allow you to analyze the usage of different terms in a corpus of texts by capturing information about their contextual usage. Through a primarily theoretical lens, this lesson will teach you how to prepare a corpus and train a word embedding model. You will explore how word vectors work, how to interpret them, and how to answer humanities research questions using them.
