The RANLP 2025 Conference will take place in Varna, Bulgaria, from 3 to 13 September 2025, where CLARIN ERIC members will organise “The First Workshop on Natural Language Processing and Language Models for Digital Humanities (LM4DH 2025)“.
Digital Humanities is a field of research that integrates various disciplines, including information technology, linguistics, history, cultural heritage, social sciences, and psychology, among others. Advanced developments in Large Language Models and Natural Language Processing enable the analysis and interpretation of intricate historical and cultural datasets, such as oral histories, archival documents, and literary texts, with impressive scale and precision.
This workshop seeks to promote collaboration among researchers, practitioners, and students across various disciplines, focusing on the application of artificial intelligence within the digital humanities. In addition, interdisciplinary dialogue and knowledge exchange aim to promote innovative methodologies, best practices, and a research community oriented towards using advanced computing technologies to study human culture, memory, and history.
The workshop encompasses a range of topics, including but not limited to the following:
- ● Text analysis and processing related to the humanities using computational methods
- ● Usage of the interpretability of large language models’ output for DH-related tasks
- ● Dataset creation and curation for NLP (e.g. digitisation, datafication, and data preservation
- ● Automatic error detection, correction, and normalisation of textual data
- ● LLM based applications for Digital Humanities
- ● Generation and analysis of literary works such as poetry and novels
- ● Analysis and detection of text genres
- ● Emotion analysis for the humanities and literature
- ● Modelling of information and knowledge in the Humanities, Social Sciences, and Cultural Heritage
- ● Low-resource and historical language processing
- ● Search for scientific and/or scholarly literature
- ● Profiling and authorship attribution
