Learning outcomes

This required elective course introduces students to some of the areas of digital humanities (DH) and the benefits that DH can provide (not only in an academic setting). The course focuses in particular on sharing ideas, creative approaches to problem solving and personal development in DH, including gaining a basic orientation in programming (Python). During the workshop, each student (or group of studetns) will come up with their own mini project to solve a specific problem and try to design a suitable and workable solution for it. Teaching is in a combined form of seminars and tutorials. In particular, the course will cover the following topics: introduction to the subject of digital humanities, data analysis (data acquisition, processing and visualization; legal aspects of data acquisition), natural text processing, working with electronic resources, machine learning, humanities and computer graphics, advantages and pitfalls of digital humanities. The course will include the use of generative AI tools.
