Conference series that brings together computer scientists and humanities computing researchers to share research on “the linguistic, visual, and aural manifestations of text.”

• “What textual research methodologies can be automated or assisted by computing?
• How can computing assist us in visualizing electronic texts?
• What data mining techniques are there for answering interesting questions relevant to humanist enquiry within large bodies of texts?
• How can text analysis research benefit and learn from applied text systems in such areas as science, law, and digital libraries?
• What new models are there for navigating and displaying textual information, including multimedia?
• What is some of the current research in computer science that may have an application in humanist enquiry?
• What roles do genres (both traditional and digital) play in the development of
and use of digital text?
• How are new interaction devices (from handhelds to tabletops, wall displays and
wearable devices) changing the way that we interact with text?
• How are they changing design models for digital text?
• How do we evaluate the effectiveness and usefulness of new methodologies and
technologies for using and studying text?
• What open questions in Humanities Computing can be addressed by further computer science research?”
