Computational Humanities - bridging the gap between Computer Science and Digital Humanities (Dagstuhl Seminar 14301)

Authors: Chris Biemann, Gregory R. Crane, Christiane D. Fellbaum, and Alexander Mehler

Published in: Dagstuhl Reports, Volume 4, Issue 7 (2014)

Abstract
Research in the field of Digital Humanities, also known as Humanities Computing, has seen a steady increase over the past years. Situated at the intersection of computing science and the humanities, present efforts focus on making resources such as texts, images, musical pieces and other semiotic artifacts digitally available, searchable and analysable. To this end, computational tools enabling textual search, visual analytics, data mining, statistics and natural language processing are harnessed to support the humanities researcher. The processing of large data sets with appropriate software opens up novel and fruitful approaches to questions in the traditional humanities. This report summarizes the Dagstuhl seminar 14301 on "Computational Humanities - bridging the gap between Computer Science and Digital Humanities".

On the Notion of Genre in Digital Preservation

Authors: Fiorella Foscarini, Yunhyong Kim, Christopher A. Lee, Alexander Mehler, Gillian Oliver, and Seamus Ross

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 10291, Automation in Digital Preservation (2010)

Abstract
In this paper, we discuss the notion of genre as a basis for addressing the problem of context representation in digital preservation. We outline several reference points for the notion of genre. This includes a review of diplomatic principles that can support and enhance the power of genre as a key to capture information about context relations. Further, we discuss the impact of open genre models and open topic models in information retrieval and finally present a list of research questions concerning future research in automation of digital preservation.

A Short Note on Social-Semiotic Networks from the Point of View of Quantitative Semantics

Authors: Alexander Mehler

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 8391, Social Web Communities (2008)

Abstract
In this extended abstract we discuss four related characteristics of semantic spaces as the standard model of meaning representation in quantitative semantics. We argue that these characteristics are challenged from the point of view of social web communities and the possibilities which they offer in terms of exploring semantic emph{and} pragmatic data. More specifically, we plead for a reconstruction of the weak contextual hypothesis in order to account for non-linguistic, pragmatic aspects of context. Finally, we mention two consequences of such a pragmatic turn, that is, in the area of named entity recognition and of language evolution.
