DESCRIPTION:Computational Humanities is a new, lar
 gely unexplored, field which is situated at the in
 terface between the humanities and the (exact) sci
 ences, in particular information science. 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.
