Digital Humanities in Aalto
Digital humanities (DH) incorporates digital methodology, such as natural language processing and machine learning, to areas related to human society and culture. In Aalto, topics of DH research include economic and industrial history, exploring new research methods (such as text mining), semantic web, media studies, design, online learning, and cultural heritage.
A weekly informal get-together has helped digital humanities researchers, scattered in many research groups in Aalto and University of Helsinki, to meet new colleagues and kick off new publication ideas. The weekly Aalto DH pizza seminar is an initiative for bringing together people at Aalto and around interested in the broad field of digital humanities and digital research methods. The meetings gather participants from all schools around lunch and a talk on latest ongoing research.
