Second CFP for RADH 2025

The third edition of the international conference RADH 2025 invites papers reporting all theoretical, empirical, and methodological aspects of Digital Humanities. This edition's focus is on two recent trends: AI assisted research in Digital Humanities, and multimodal approaches: text (NLP), vision (image, video), sound (music, speech), games, etc.
For the first time in history, the current AI systems equal or surpass humans in cognitive tasks. Since the impact of these recent AI advances on DH is profound and hasty, a computer assisted approach is much needed. To deal with cultural data, humans should definitely use the machine’s memory and speed and the powerful AI models. But they should do so fully aware it is their responsibility to properly collect data (scale and balance it, comply with ethical standards), choose the right type of method or algorithm (AI), carefully interpret the results, and, in general, use their human judgement on top of any machine outputs.
In this dynamic context, the role of the digital humanist has grown more important than ever. At the 3rd edition of RADH 2025, we encourage contributions that showcase the AI turn and its implications on DH.
We welcome papers coming from all Arts and Humanities areas, such as, but not limited to computational methods in linguistics, literature, history, geography, philosophy, archaeology, cognitive science, social sciences, psychology, law, arts, religion, education, anthropology, journalism, etc. The following topics are encouraged, amongst others:
Abstracts up to 5000 characters, spaces included, should describe original contributions, projects and resources developments, or results and evaluations of specific DH topics. We also accept papers describing DH challenges, survey papers, and papers that describe a negative result.
A selection of accepted papers will be published in a collective volume at a prestigious international publishing house. Previous editions have been published in Peter Lang Publishing House.
