Research

In the Computational Humanities, we use current text mining and natural language processing methods as well as audio, video, and image analysis in order to examine large collections of data from the humanities and social sciences.

Teaching

We focus on teaching the practical and theoretical foundations of the Digital Humanities. Furthermore, we offer several classes every semester that cover current research trends in the Computational Humanities, Cultural Analytics and Humanities Data Science.
