OIKOS/CLCG workshop - Computational Approaches to Ancient Greek and Latin
| When: | Tu 02-11-2021 12:15 - 17:00 |
| Where: | Norman Building, Lutkenieuwstraat 5, Groningen & Online |
The OIKOS Platform Digital Classics in collaboration with the Centre for Language and Cognition (Faculty of Arts, Rijksuniversiteit Groningen) is organizing a one-day workshop on Computational Approaches to ancient Greek and Latin.
Tuesday, November 2nd, 2021, 12.15 to 17 (walk-in from 12, drinks after 17)
The use of computational approaches (Natural Language Processing) to study classical languages is a new and exciting scholarly domain. This conference aims at exploring the potential of NLP to Ancient Greek and Latin, and at forging working relationships and collaborations between scholars pioneering this field.
The conference is of interest to classicists interested in digital resources, to computational linguists, especially those interested in low resource languages, and to others working on historical data and in the various branches of Digital Humanities.
