“…Until around 2004, when the field's name changed to 'digital humanities', studies of its history appeared but occasionally. Those studies tended to be article-length surveys of the history of the application of computing to particular fields of the humanities, like classics and musicology (Hewlett and Selfridge-Field 1991;Brunner 1993); histories of the development of indexes and concordances, humanities computing's canonical tools (Burton 1981a;Burton 1981b;Burton 1981c;Burton 1982); articles on acclaimed scholars like Busa (Winter 1999); and bibliographies (Adamo 1994). Since around 2003, a more sustained interest in the history of DH can be noticed.…”

Her research intersects digital humanities, early modern intellectual history, and cultural heritage and archival studies. She has previously held positions at King's College London, University College London and the British Museum. Her current work explores digital approaches to archival silences. John Bradley worked in the digital humanities from the early 1970s until 1997, first at the University of Toronto and then at the Department of Digital Humanities at King's College London, continuing past his retirement in 2015. Most of his posts were 'academic-related' until he was made an academic by King's in 2011. His work includes the development of the text analysis software TACT and the experimental software platform Pliny. He has collaborated on more than 20 public humanities-oriented digital resources. Dauvit Broun has been lecturing at the University of Glasgow since 1990, and since 2009 as Professor of Scottish History. He was Principal Investigator of projects centring on the creation and development of the PoMS database (two funded by the AHRC, 2007-13, with John Bradley as a Co-Investigator, and one funded by the Leverhulme Trust, 2013-17, with John Bradley as Co-Investigator).Dino Buzzetti taught history of philosophy, mainly medieval, at the University of Bologna. For several years he ran a course on documentation and historical document processing at the Faculty of Preservation of Cultural Heritage and a course on humanities computing for philosophy students. His main research topic was the history of logic in relation to contemporary developments in philosophical and theological doctrines.Averil Cameron is a historian of late antiquity and Byzantium. She taught at King's College until 1994 and chaired the Humanities Research Centres. As a Fellow of the British Academy she was instrumental in bringing the Prosopography of the Byzantine Empire (PBE, later PBW) to King's and was the founding director of the Centre for Hellenic Studies. In relation to PBE and PBW she worked closely with Harold Short and John Bradley.

“…In 1949, Roberto Busa made a groundbreaking change to humanities computing, where he used a computer to make an electronic index including 11 million medieval Latin vocabulary (Hockey, 2004). After that, more researchers started to realize the advantage of computer indexing and created several vocabulary indexes for different corpora; for example, Burton (1982) made a summary of the attempts of some scholars on text indexing. More development has been made to improve the searching of certain information in the context, such as the COCOA indexing program and those discussions about coding and indexing in journals such as (Bessinger & Parrish, 1964) and forums such as ICCH and ACH.…”

This article will focus on the relationship between Digital Humanities and Artificial Intelligence and will discuss the methodology of applying Artificial Intelligence in Digital Humanities; specifically, the article will target the applications in Dunhuang culture studying. The development of digital humanities facilitated by computers and the future research direction will be studied. The article aims to propose specific methods of applying Artificial Intelligence to Digital Humanities to facilitate the inheritance, development, and innovation of traditional culture. By sorting out the development process of digital humanities and combining it with the newest development direction of Artificial Intelligence forecasted by specialists in the area, the study will discuss the possible applications of the technologies in intangible cultural heritage studies. The methods include utilizing Smart Data to obtain structured and visual cultural heritage, implying Cross-media Intelligence to help reconstruct and propagate culture, and using Human-machine Association for the renovation and recreation of cultural heritage. Additionally, the specific methods of applying these methodologies to Dunhuang culture studying will be discussed, whose object is to realize natural language analysis, image style transfer using Smart Data, build digital museums using VR and AR, and restore murals in Mogao caves using Human-machine Association. The effects of these techniques on cultural heritage and its future development methodology will also be discussed.

Computation and the Humanities

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This chapter begins with an introduction to Digital Humanities (DH) and outlines its development since c.1949. It demonstrates that the application of computing to cultural heritage has been ongoing for some 70 years yet the histories of DH have, until recently, remained mostly unwritten. After exploring some of the particular diffi culties that attend any attempt to write such histories the approach that we have taken in this book is explained in detail. We close by asking why histories of DH are needed and essential to undertake.
