Intensive PSL Week: Digital Humanities and Artificial Intelligence

Intensive PSL Week: Digital Humanities and Artificial Intelligence

Held every year in Paris as part of the DHAI group activities, this intensive training week brings together Master’s and PhD students from AI, the humanities, and the social sciences. It combines lectures, practical computer lab sessions, and group work on interdisciplinary projects. The program introduces participants to methods such as network analysis, computer vision, natural language processing (NLP), and applications to archives, cultural heritage, and historical corpora.

In each edition, a team of researchers and instructors guide the students through both the technical and conceptual dimensions of DH and AI. I contribute an introduction to NLP and also take part in evaluating the final group projects. Recent student work has included projects on astronomical diagrams, music generation, and sentiment mapping in travel narratives, presented in a concluding session at the end of the week.
