We are organizing at the Centre for Language and Cognition of the University of Groningen the hybrid workshop Days of Computational Approaches to Ancient Greek and Latin (2nd edition), you can find the programme below.
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. Attendance is free (both ‘live’ and online).
