The huma nities differ from the sciences in their concern w ith expressions of the human mind, such as languag e, literature, music, art and history. While compu tational approaches to the humanities exist since the 1960s, it is only during the last decade or so that digitized data have become available in such quantities that we can observe the emergence of a new overarching field. One of the major aims of t his field is to automatically detect novel pattern s and concepts in historical, musical, textual and artistic data that are (practically) impossible t o find by hand. While initial work in computationa l humanities focused on local and low-level patter ns, there is a shift towards unraveling more compl ex, higher-level patterns such as the notion of th eme in literature, style in painting and music, an d long-term relations in history. The goal of this workshop is (1) to give an introduction to this u pcoming field, and (2) to investigate to what exte nt computational humanities share models and techn iques with other areas of computational science.

Computat ional Humanities is a new, largely unexplored,\n field which is situated at the interface bet ween the\n humanities and the (exact) scien ces, in particular information\n science. T he humanities differ from the sciences in their\n concern with expressions of the human mind, such as language,\n literature, music, art and history. While computational\n approac hes to the humanities exist since the 1960s, it is only\n during the last decade or so that d igitized data have become\n available in su ch quantities that we can observe the emergence\n of a new overarching field. One of the majo r aims of this\n field is to automatically detect novel patterns and concepts\n in his torical, musical, textual and artistic data that a re\n (practically) impossible to find by ha nd. While initial work\n in computational h umanities focused on local and low-level\n patterns, there is a shift towards unraveling more complex,\n higher-level patterns such as t he notion of theme in\n literature, style i n painting and music, and long-term\n relat ions in history. The goal of this workshop is (1) to give\n an introduction to this upcoming field, and (2) to investigate\n to what ext ent computational humanities share models and\n techniques with other areas of computational science.
