The 2024 edition of the “Journées DHNord” will take place on November 6, 7 and 8 at the University of Lille (SHS campus – Villeneuve d’Ascq), in association with the Centre de Recherche Interuniversitaire sur les Humanités Numériques (CRIHN) in Montreal and the Huma-Num pictorIA consortium.
These “Journées DHNord 2024” will bring together a range of players to explore future trends and issues in the digital humanities.
On Wednesday November 6 (hybrid in the morning and face-to-face only in the afternoon), the pictorIA consortium will offer a series of introductory and training workshops on image corpus processing.
Thursday November 7 and Friday November 8 (hybrid sessions) will provide an opportunity to listen to and discuss recent developments in the field of digital humanities with a range of researchers, engineers, archivists and librarians.
This year’s event will provide an opportunity to reflect collectively on the contemporary challenges of digital humanities and the new perspectives opened up, notably by the acceleration and generalization of artificial intelligence, whether generative or not. In addition to the concrete contribution made to research in the humanities and social sciences, we’ll be looking at the issues involved in day-to-day work with data, essential material for training artificial intelligence models. The expertise of the men and women involved – researchers, engineers, archivists and librarians – will also be showcased, with a particular focus on the role they play in the development of artificial intelligence.
This forward-looking reflection is not limited to AI, but follows on from the 2023 edition devoted to ethics, by questioning the interactions between players in the context of various research projects and the consideration of sustainability issues, particularly in terms of publishing and exhibiting research data.
Kévin Réby and Anaïs Guillem, members of the MAP laboratory and the n-Dame_Heritage ERC project, will be speaking on the subject of AI and Notre-Dame de Paris data: from theory to practice.
