Recognizing the pivotal role of lemmatization and dependency parsing in text analysis, particularly for small language datasets, we've dedicated a workshop to these techniques. The course is delivered by an international team of experienced researchers and practitioners from Latvia, Norway, and Estonia, representing the fields of digital humanities and digital social sciences. As always, this presents an invaluable opportunity to connect with peers and mentors from various countries, offering a rich exchange of ideas and perspectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The programem includes workshops and lectures in:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>programming with Python (basic and intermediate tracks)<\/li><li>parsing, tagging, lemmatization, dependency parsing \/ UDPipe<\/li><li>text and discourse analysis<\/li><li>creation of large language models for smaller languages<\/li><li>Latgalian language corpora<\/li><li>application of large language models in humanities research<\/li><li>practical guidance for using ChatGPT for humanities research<\/li><li>exploring multidimensional image data with a Collection Space Navigator tool.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>PARTICIPANTS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Baltic Summer School of Digital Humanities is aimed at students and researchers of humanities and social sciences, library, and archives professionals. There are no prerequisites for participation, as the course does not require any background in DH computing. The working language of the summer school is English. After successful completion of the summer course, students will be awarded 3 ECTS by the University of Latvia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>REGISTRATION FEE*<\/strong><br>40 EUR includes: Full access to all lectures and workshops, onsite or online.
