Topic modeling medieval Buddhist Chinese with BERTopic: Distinguishing concerns in translated and indigenous Chinese texts 500-800 CE

We try to answer whether the BERTopic topic modeling framework can be used to obtain topics that can be used to distinguish two corpora in Buddhist Chinese, a low-resource idiom, based on texts translated or authored between 500 and 800 CE. By using a modified BERTopic pipeline and 'virtual paragraphs' we are able to show that topic modeling can identify coherent and meaningful topics, which mark significant differences between the Indian-Chinese and the Chinese-Chinese texts.

Adoptando una perspectiva decolonial, las humanidades digitales emergen como catalizadores de nuevas discusiones, cambios epistémicos y trayectorias de investigación que iluminan, articulan y reconocen Otras voces, exigiendo una interacción continua. Las presentaciones abarcan una variedad de temas, incluyendo pedagogía, mentoría, estrategias para abordar desigualdades en el acceso a la tecnología y mejorar la accesibilidad a través de proyectos y programas diseñados para abrir espacios a historias marginadas. Las humanidades digitales resultan instrumentales en este contexto, ofreciendo vías para enfoques pedagógicos innovadores (Programa Junior Scholars: Humanidades digitales en la escuela primaria), espacios virtuales (Manos a la obra: Taller de capacitación para todos), proyectos comunitarios (Proyectos comunitarios: Creando lazos entre la academia y la comunidad) y esfuerzos de patrimonio cultural (Epistemes indígenas en proyectos digitales de edición y archivo).Estas presentaciones ejemplifican el potencial de las humanidades digitales para implementar inclusividad y cuidado ético. En resumen, el panel destaca cómo las humanidades digitales, vistas a través de un lente decolonial, pueden crear espacios de justicia y equidad social para desarrollar conversaciones intergeneracionales que desafíen narrativas dominantes y amplifiquen las voces de comunidades marginadas. Esto crea una apertura a un diálogo recíproco entre un proceso comunitario y los recursos digitales. Al explorar innovaciones pedagógicas, espacios virtuales, colaboraciones comunitarias y preservación del patrimonio cultural, el panel subraya el papel de las humanidades digitales en redefinir narrativas y fomentar un discurso más inclusivo y equitativo en los estudios hispanos.Las presentaciones dialogan con las teorías sobre la ética del cuidado de Virginia Held (2006); las reflexiones de María E. Cotera (2018) sobre el archivo como un espacio de encuentro que no reproduce las tendencias tradicionales de la apropiación de colecciones y de voces, el desmantelamiento de la supremacía blanca por Michelle Caswell (2017); y metodologías latinx para las humanidades digitales de Kelley Kreitz (2017) y Baeza Ventura, et. al. (2023).

A Novel Digital Methodology for the Study of Historical Sailing Performance

This study uses 3D scans of eighteenth-century historical ship models to infer the sailing performance of their full-scale counterparts. By digitally reconstructing these models and analyzing their design and performance through engineering simulations, the proposed approach enables their comparison and facilitates the testing of existing historical narratives.

Modeling Errors in Estimating Historical Trends

Researchers regularly make claims about phenomena that vary over time, or with other variables of interest. Our ability to make these comparisons can be limited by “archival silences” and by the varying accuracy of digital tools. This talk compares methods for modeling the error in our estimates of historical trends.

An Evaluation of GPT-4V for Transcribing the Urban Renewal Hand-Written Collection

Between 1960 and 1980, urban renewal transformed many cities, creating vast handwritten records. These documents posed a significant challenge for researchers due to their volume and handwritten nature. The launch of GPT-4V in November 2023 offered a breakthrough, enabling large-scale, efficient transcription and analysis of these historical urban renewal documents.

HTR to TEI: Strategies for Transformation, Up-conversion, and Data Enrichment of Transcripts

This short paper originates from both the Evolving Hands project and data processing experience of the authors. The topic is not the project itself, or the process of Handwritten Text Recognition (HTR), but the transformation, up-conversion, and enrichment of the output data. It targets those considering HTR for TEI output.

Responsible transcription and text markup practices to enhance accessibility for people who use screen readers

Through a case study of crowdsourced transcriptions, we argue that cultural heritage and DH practitioners and scholars should prioritize enhancing textual data accessibility. We center the experiences of disabled users whose access to transcriptions in cultural heritage collections is woefully limited by poor or non-existent markup, and confusing search infrastructure.

Mapping Latin American Women’s Intellectual Networks

"Mapping Latin American Women’s Intellectual Networks" uses data from 23 newspapers to visualize 19th-century networks of women writers. It categorizes biographic, bibliographic, temporal, and spatial data, resulting in a collection of 1,000 texts by 50 women from 1830 to 1900. This initiative aims to centralize and make accessible this information.

We present a novel multiple-model approach for alinging orthovariant words found in literary texts to their modern, "standard" forms. We apply this methodology to a corpus of texts produced in the United States during the 19th century, and discuss this era's use of orthographic variance as a vehicle of meaning.

Quantitative Analysis of Canon vs. Non-Canon in Persian Novels: A Computational Study of 650 Works

This computational study of 650 Persian novels focuses on the distinction between canonical and non-canonical works, using advanced digital humanities techniques like topic modeling and stylometric analysis. It hypothesizes that canonical novels, known for enduring quality, display distinct thematic and stylistic elements. Findings indicate that canonical works address complex societal issues with stylistic sophistication, while non-canonical texts focus on personal narratives.
