[English Version]

1. 你如何定义数字人文？

定义是对事物内涵与外延的界定。数字人文的内涵，我认为可以简单地表述为数字与人文相结合的领域，其外延则有鲜明的开放性特征，无法也没有必要做出确切界定。一方面“数字”和“人文”都没有明确的边界，数字世界常变常新，人文世界宽广无边。如《周易》所言，“文明以止，人文也”，包含人类社会各种文化现象的“文明”皆为人文，足见其广阔。另一方面，“数字”和“人文”多种元素的多样化交织交融，又不断生成很多新现象新事物，聚集在数字人文的大帐篷之下，内容和形态更为丰富。随着数字人文的多方位发展，我们对其本质的认知将逐步加深，从对其内涵的抽象将更为科学精准成熟，至少目前，尽可能保持“数字人文”概念的开放性是合理且有益的。

2. 是什么让你开始对数字人文感兴趣的？

 我的专业是档案学，档案学若干核心概念与数字人文的关联把我引进数字人文。一是“档案”概念，iSchools把数字人文作为发展方向之后，我从相关文献和学术活动中发现数字人文广泛使用“档案”(Archives）一词，与“档案学”中的“档案”概念有交叉有差异，让我看到了“档案”概念在新领域的新含义。二是“社会记忆”，它是档案的基本属性，也被历史、文学、哲学、艺术等人文学科所关注，纳入数字人文之中。三是 “档案资源开发”的数字化转型，其原理、路径、工具、方法、成果形式等与数字人文多有吻合，作为社会生活原始记录的档案是数字人文项目常用的优质资源。在这些概念、理论、方法的相遇中，我对数字人文产生了越来越浓厚的兴趣，走进了这个宽广且充满魅力的领域。

3. 可以给我们分享一个你参与的数字人文项目吗？

 我们团队十余年来从事“数字记忆”的研究和建构，从2013年起搭建了“北京记忆”数字资源平台(http://www.bjjy.cn)。古都北京有3000多年建城史，近900年建都史，其厚重悠久的文化底蕴也逃不脱时间冲刷的流失，我们希望在数字世界尽可能真实地复现这个伟大城市的过往。“北京记忆”的基本架构是前站后库，“前站”是用网站群形式开展数字叙事，为每一个专题制作一个文化网站，以大量文献为基础，使用图文、视频、动画、建模、游戏、数据可视化等方法，生动呈现其历史脉络和面貌，相当于一部部数字专题史；“后库”是将有关文献资料建成多模态数据库，按照知识组织规范，通过搜集、加工、组织、存储等实现北京历史文化资源的聚合和智能检索。这是一个长期持续性项目，复合应用多种数字人文方法，目前已上线23个专题网站，并在此基础上开发了图书、数字出版物、数字藏品(NFT)、线下光影展、跨时空教学场景等多种衍生产品，前后吸引了数十名教师、数百名学生以及多家数字文化公司的参与，为穿越时空传承传播大型城市历史文化做了很多创新性探索。

4. 以及一个你喜欢的数字人文项目？

我所在的中国人民大学已经开展了数字人文本硕博三个层次的专业教育，为了给学生们提供丰富的学习资源，我们建设了多模态“数字人文案例库”，目前已输入近千个案例条目，260个优秀案例，其中很多项目我都很喜欢，比如中国历代人物传记资料库（China Biographical Database, CBDB）、“影谷”（THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW）、“上海年华”（上海图书馆）、“文都时空”（南京大学）等等。我想介绍一个我和很多学生感兴趣的项目——都铎网络（The Tudor Network）。 

这是一个由来自英国、德国不同大学、不同学术专长的研究人员合作开展的，基于英国国家档案馆收藏的15—16世纪都铎王朝时期12万封书信档案的数据分析项目，这些信件跨越近百年，涉及2万余人。该项目对全部书信内容做了文本挖掘，采用收信数、发信数、结点等多个指标进行相似度排序、整体趋势线分析、异常值分析等方法，显示每个人的通信对象、频度等特征，以及通信人之间的复杂关系，进而对书信内容加以分析，揭开了这些书信中的尘封历史。我们喜欢这个项目独特的历史价值和文献价值，项目团队唤醒了沉睡500多年的书信档案，对其中各种数据进行了可视化和科学严谨的分析，还原了一段鲜为人知的历史内幕，其中一些曲折离奇的史实令人惊叹。

1. How do you define Digital Humanities

A definition involves delineating the connotations and denotations of a concept. In my view, the connotation of Digital Humanities can be succinctly expressed as the field where digital technology and the humanities intersect. Its denotation, however, has a distinct characteristic of openness, making it neither necessary nor feasible to define it precisely. On the one hand, neither “digital” nor “humanities” has clear boundaries—the digital world is ever-changing, and the world of the humanities is vast and boundless. As the I Ching says, “civilization halts and becomes humanities,” indicating that “civilization,” encompassing various cultural phenomena of human society, is part of the humanities, showcasing its vastness. On the other hand, the diverse interweaving and merging of multiple elements from “digital” and “humanities” continuously generate new phenomena and new entities, all of which gather under the large tent of Digital Humanities, making its content and forms increasingly rich. As the multidimensional development of Digital Humanities continues, our understanding of its essence will gradually deepen, leading to a more scientifically accurate and mature abstraction of its connotation. At least for now, maintaining the openness of the concept of “Digital Humanities” is both reasonable and beneficial.

2. How did you become interested in DH?

My field of expertise is Archival Studies, and several core concepts in Archival Studies are closely related to Digital Humanities, which drew me into this field. First is the concept of “archives.” After iSchools adopted Digital Humanities as a development direction, I noticed through relevant literature and academic activities that the term “archives” (Archives) is widely used in Digital Humanities. This usage overlaps yet differs from the concept of “archives” in Archival Studies, which revealed to me new meanings of the concept of “archives” in this new field. Second is “social memory,” which is a fundamental attribute of archives and is also a focus in disciplines like history, literature, philosophy, and art, making it part of Digital Humanities. Third is the digital transformation of “archival resource development,” where its principles, pathways, tools, methods, and forms of outcomes often align with those in Digital Humanities. As original records of social life, archives are often valuable resources used in Digital Humanities projects. These encounters of concepts, theories, and methods led me to develop an increasingly strong interest in Digital Humanities, drawing me into this broad and fascinating field.

3. Tell us about one of your DH projects

For over ten years, our team has been engaged in the research and construction of “digital memory.” Since 2013, we have been developing the “Beijing Memory” digital resource platform (http://www.bjjy.cn). The ancient city of Beijing has over 3,000 years of history and nearly 900 years as a capital. Its rich and long-standing cultural heritage has not escaped the erosion of time, and we hope to recreate the past of this great city as authentically as possible in the digital world. The basic structure of “Beijing Memory” includes a “front-end” and a “back-end.” The “front-end” uses a website cluster to conduct digital narratives, creating a cultural website for each topic. Based on extensive literature, we use methods like text, images, videos, animations, modeling, games, and data visualization to vividly present its historical context and features, akin to a series of digital thematic histories. The “back-end” involves building a multimodal database of relevant literature and materials. Following knowledge organization standards, we gather, process, organize, and store these resources to achieve the aggregation and intelligent retrieval of Beijing’s historical and cultural resources. This is a long-term and ongoing project that applies a variety of Digital Humanities methods. Currently, 23 thematic websites are online, and based on these, we have developed books, digital publications, digital collectibles (NFTs), offline light and shadow exhibitions, cross-temporal teaching scenarios, and other derivative products. The project has attracted dozens of teachers, hundreds of students, and several digital cultural companies, contributing significantly to the innovative exploration of preserving and transmitting the history and culture of a major city across time and space.

4. And a DH project you like?

At Renmin University of China, where I work, we have already launched a Digital Humanities program offering master’s and doctoral degrees. To provide students with rich learning resources, we have built a multimodal “Digital Humanities Case Library,” which currently contains nearly a thousand case entries, including 260 outstanding cases. There are many projects that I like, such as the China Biographical Database (CBDB), “The Valley of the Shadow,” “Shanghai Memory” (Shanghai Library), “Wendu Time-Space” (Nanjing University), among others. I would like to introduce a project that both I and many students find intriguing—the Tudor Network.

This project was a collaborative effort by researchers with different academic specialties from various universities in the UK and Germany. It involves data analysis of 120,000 letters from the Tudor period (15th-16th centuries) held by the UK National Archives. These letters span nearly a century and involve more than 20,000 people. The project conducted text mining on all the letters, using metrics like the number of letters received and sent, nodes, and other indicators to perform similarity sorting, overall trend line analysis, outlier analysis, and more. This revealed the characteristics of each person’s communication patterns, including their correspondents and frequency, as well as the complex relationships between correspondents. Further analysis of the content of the letters unveiled the hidden history within them. We appreciate this project for its unique historical and documentary value. The project team awakened letters that had been dormant for over 500 years, conducted rigorous scientific analysis and visualization of the data within, and reconstructed a little-known segment of history. Some of the intricate and surprising historical facts uncovered are truly astonishing.

Digital Humanities at Tsinghua University

Name

 Digital Humanities, Tsinghua University

Year of Foundation

2020 (website) , 2015 (DH research group)

Short Description

The Tsinghua University Digital Humanities project is led by an interdisciplinary team centered at Tsinghua University, with substantial support from the university itself. The core team comprises faculty and students from the School of Humanities, the Department of Computer Science and Technology, and the Centre for Statistics, as well as scholars from institutions such as the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, the Macau University of Science and Technology, and Zhejiang University. Funded by a major project from the National Social Science Fund, the team has established a digital humanities journal, a comprehensive portal website, and the ‘Xuancong Digital Humanities Intelligence Platform’, and has introduced an experimental course for undergraduates at the Dayxin College.

The digital humanities portal website is a comprehensive digital humanities platform founded by the team, supported by Tsinghua University’s ‘Double-High’ plan and involving contributions from Zhonghua Book Company, CNKI, National Studies Network, and Chinese Online. DHLIB is the first of its kind in the Chinese-speaking world, aiming to provide a platform for ‘academic exchange, open access, interdisciplinary interaction, and collaborative sharing’.

Key members of the Tsinghua Digital Humanities team include Liu Shi, Dean of the School of Humanities; Sun Maosong, Executive Vice Dean of the Institute for Artificial Intelligence; Li Feiyue, Deputy Director of the Chinese Department; and Deng Ke, former Deputy Director of the Centre for Statistics. The team also co-founded the academic journal ‘Digital Humanities’ with Zhonghua Book Company.

On November 12-13, 2022, the ‘Voice, Network, Future: The Third Tsinghua Digital Humanities International Forum’, organized by Tsinghua University’s School of Humanities and the editorial office of ‘Digital Humanities’, and co-organised by the Bucknell University China Research Institute, was successfully held both online and offline at Tsinghua University. More than sixty scholars from over forty universities and research institutions, including twenty overseas institutions, presented their latest research findings.

Key Academics

Prof Liu Shi is the Dean of the School of Humanities at Tsinghua University, specializing in literature and cultural studies.

Prof Sun Maosong is the Executive Vice Dean of the Institute for Artificial Intelligence, focusing on artificial intelligence, large language model and its applications in social science, humanities and arts .

Prof Li Feiyue is the Deputy Director of the Department of Chinese, with expertise in Chinese literature and digital humanities.

Dr Deng Ke is the former Deputy Director of the Centre for Statistics, specialising in statistical methods and their application in digital humanities, such as content analysis.

Key Projects

Projects and achievements in the Centre for Digital Humanities at Tsinghua University provides a range of digital tools and resources designed to support digital humanities research and projects. It aims to facilitate academic collaboration, data sharing, and the development of digital resources.

1. Platforms
   • Ming-Qing Routes and Literature (MQRL) is a digital platform developed by Professor Jian Jinsong. It focuses on the comprehensive digitalization of ancient Chinese routes and is dedicated to innovative research in Ming and Qing literature. The MQRL platform provides digital services for the study of ancient Chinese roads, offering detailed and accessible data on historical routes. It supports innovative research into Ming and Qing literature, exploring how geographical routes influenced literary works and historical narratives.
   • Intelligent Ancient Books Platform  draws on the concept of knowledge graphs and integrates various technologies such as big data analytics, location-based queries, clustering queries, spatial analysis, data association, network analysis, machine indexing, and crowdsourcing. The platform aims to transform Chinese classical literature and research outcomes into a graph-based, intelligent format. This approach creates a comprehensive big data platform for ancient books, combining browsing, querying, research, and appreciation. It seamlessly integrates aesthetic reading, knowledge learning, and immersive experiences into one unified system.
2.  Tools
   • Chinese Classical Poetry Semantic Search – AI Jiuge: Tsinghua University’s Natural Language Processing and Social Humanities Computing Laboratory has introduced an AI tool abbreviated as “Jiuge Semantic Search,” utilizes a retrieval algorithm that combines a deep neural network model based on BERT with an improved longest common subsequence matching tailored specifically for the characteristics of classical Chinese poetry. This algorithm is better suited to capture the complex semantics of classical poetry, resulting in more accurate, detailed, and enriched search outcomes. Additionally, the team implemented an approximate nearest neighbor search mechanism using Annoy technology, which employs a tree data structure to maximize the speed of similarity calculations between two dense vectors. They also developed an optimized longest common subsequence mechanism based on an inverted index, further enhancing the speed of string matching.
   • THULAC (THU Lexical Analyzer for Chinese): This is a Chinese lexical analysis toolkit developed by the Natural Language Processing and Social Humanities Computing Laboratory at Tsinghua University. The toolkit offers functionalities for Chinese word segmentation and part-of-speech tagging.THULAC is trained using the world’s largest manually segmented and part-of-speech tagged Chinese corpus, containing approximately 58 million characters, which gives it robust tagging capabilities. On the standard dataset, Chinese Treebank (CTB5), THULAC achieves an F1 score of 97.3% for word segmentation and 92.9% for part-of-speech tagging, comparable to the best-performing methods on this dataset. The combined speed for word segmentation and part-of-speech tagging is 300KB/s, processing around 150,000 characters per second. When performing word segmentation alone, the speed can reach 1.3MB/s.

Teaching

The ‘Tsinghua University International Workshop on Digital Humanities and Literary Studies‘ hosted by the Department of Chinese Language and Literature at Tsinghua University in collaboration with the University of Chicago’s Text Lab, took place in June 2017.

Several prominent scholars attended the workshop, including Hoyt Long, Su Zhen, and Zhu Yuancheng from the University of Chicago, as well as Deandre from Columbia University, among others. Professor Liu Shi, Vice Dean of the School of Humanities, delivered the opening remarks, and Professor Wang Zhongzhen, Head of the Department of Chinese Language and Literature, provided a summary and outlook at the conclusion of the event. The workshop attracted over a hundred participants from both within and outside the university.

The attending scholars engaged in extensive and in-depth discussions on three primary research methods in Digital Humanities: statistical methods, close reading of texts, and historicism. They also provided an overview of domestic and international humanities databases and the current state of Digital Humanities research in China.

1. How do you define Digital Humanities? 

I consider DH as a burgeoning field of scholarly endeavour that exists at the crossroads of digital technologies and humanities disciplines. It fosters innovative scholarship methods that are collaborative, transdisciplinary, and computationally driven in research, teaching, and publishing. DH employs digital tools and methodologies to advance the study of humanities, utilizing digital resources creatively. The transdisciplinary nature of DH becomes particularly apparent when it involves the GLAM sector, an acronym for galleries, libraries, archives, and museums which are mainly cultural institutions usually resourced to provide access to cultural heritage knowledge.

2. How did you become interested in DH? 

During my tenure as a Senior Research Fellow, I developed an interest in Digital Humanities (DH). I was utilizing digital tools and innovative methods to tackle various research questions. It was then that I recognized the necessity of applying digital tools and methods to address research questions within the humanities. To boost research excellence at the University of Warwick, I decided to join a small team of research software engineers to advance DH research. My passion for interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research, along with my experiences in various roles in the UK, Germany, and Ghana, likely contributed to my interest in Digital Humanities. Currently, as a Senior Research Software Engineer at the University of Warwick, I work with colleagues in several faculties, centres, and beyond the University. My work involves the application of digital tools and methods in the humanities, a key aspect of Digital Humanities, but my broader scope goes beyond DH and fall within the remit of research computing at the University of Warwick.

3. Tell us about one of your DH projects?  

I am leading digital research on various projects within the digital humanities at the University of Warwick. One such project is an innovative, interactive, multi-search interface I developed for the French Theatre Calendar from 1799-1804. The downloadable dataset is in French and includes both Gregorian and Revolutionary dates. The online database I developed likely surpasses others in its coverage of theatre from this period. Its multi-search functionality significantly enhances researchers’ understanding of early 19th-century theatre.

4. And a DH project you like? 

There are so many DH projects that I like! One of the DH projects that I like, which has already been featured on our website here, is the “Mapping Women’s Suffrage” project. This initiative amalgamates the most recent studies and resources from scholars, local history buffs, genealogists, record keepers, and the general public. Its aim is to uncover and geographically represent the frequently obscured lives and sites associated with everyday women’s suffrage advocates. Concurrently, it constructs an unparalleled depiction of the shape and geographies of the suffrage movement nationwide during this significant era in women’s history.

More Information

Located within the humanities department, Digital Scholarship @ Oxford is a new initiative aimed at transforming the landscape of digitally enhanced scholarship in Oxford (Oxford Mosaic, nd). It defines ‘digital scholarship’ as utilizing digital technology to enrich scholarly materials and methods, particularly in the humanities (Oxford Mosaic, nd). While there are some resemblances between the work of Digital Scholarship and Digital Humanities, there are key distinctions between its practice in Oxford. First, Digital Scholarship’s collaborative efforts extend beyond the humanities division, whereas Digital Humanities centres on the humanities. Second, Digital Scholarship encompasses methods and technologies potentially applicable to any academic field. Third, Digital Scholarship integrates digital methods into existing disciplines rather than establishing a new separate field. In essence, Digital Scholarship complements traditional scholarship by leveraging digital technology. In 2022, Oxford introduced its first MSc in Digital Scholarship, the intent is not to establish a new discipline, but rather, it offers comprehensive training for innovative work in existing disciplines (Oxford Mosaic, nd).

[中文版]

1. How do you define Digital Humanities?

I see DH as any study of the human record which makes critical use of digital methods, and/or computational ways of thinking. Of course much of the human record itself is now digital, to a much greater extent than it was when I started out in the field.  This has broadened DH’s focus from a discipline which simply uses the digital to understand the humanities better, to include study ofthe digital itself from a humanities perspective. For me, this makes the roots of the field in the way that humanists think about the digital world  more important and interesting than ever.

2. How did you become interested in DH?

I came to DH relatively late in life, towards the end of my PhD. I was researching a very traditional, non-digital field, which involved reconciling different mechanisms for dating prehistoric events (if only I had known then what I knew now about the possibilities of, for example, network analysis). I discovered that a key need for my research was understanding relationships between different pieces of evidence from different locations – e.g. the relationship between deposits of the same type of pottery from Egypt and Cyprus, and how they relate to ancient layers of volcanic ash in the Aegean islands. This started me thinking about how such data could be systematically structured, compared and mapped. So having constructed a rudimentary database of all this data, I basically taught myself GIS so that I could analyse different concentrations of different types of evidence across different regions and at different times.

3. Tell us about one of your DH projects?

Over time, my interest in GIS and maps became my primary focus. A project which exemplifies this is the Heritage Gazetteer of Cyprus, which was funded by the A G Leventis Foundation. The HGC aims to provide a framework for thinking about place in Cypriot heritage, and a data resource to trace the evolution of placenames over time. Any toponyms occurring in literature before 1918 can be entered and associated with one or more existing locations, which enables us to build networks of references across the island. This allows us to ask, for example, what the differences are between the town of “Pano Calepia” described by Florio Bustron in 1549, and “Kallepia” described by George Jeffrey in 1918. How has its spatial footprint and relationships with other sites changed, and how do we document these changes?

4. And a DH project you particularly like?

There are so many! One I particularly admire is the Digital Periegesis project , which is using digital mapping methods to re-examine the work of Pausanias of Magnesia, and in the process asking exciting new questions about the relationships between text, time and place.

介绍 Stuart Dunn教授

1. 您如何定义数字人文？

数字人文是指对人类记录的研究中批判性地使用数字方法和/或计算思维。当然，如今的人类记录本身也比我刚进入该领域时要更加数字化了。这使得数字人文的焦点从一个仅仅使用数字手段来更好地理解人文学科的学科，拓展到从人文学科的角度来研究数字化本身。对我来说，这使得人文学者如何思考数字世界的根源变得比以往任何时候都更加重要和有趣。

2. 您是如何对数字人文产生兴趣的？

我在接近博士学位结束时才接触到数字人文。我当时正在研究一个非常传统的、非数字化领域，涉及协调不同的史前事件的年代测定机制（如果我当时知道现在关于例如网络分析的可能性就好了）。我发现我的研究的一个关键需求是理解来自不同地点的不同证据之间的关系——例如，埃及和塞浦路斯的相同类型陶器的沉积物之间的关系，以及它们与爱琴海岛屿上古代火山灰层的关系。这让我开始思考如何系统地构建、比较和映射这些数据。因此，我构建了一个初步的数据库，然后基本上自学了地理信息系统（GIS），以便我可以分析不同地区和不同时间的不同类型证据的不同浓度。

3. 请告诉我们一个您的数字人文项目？

随着时间的推移，我对GIS和地图的兴趣成为我的主要焦点。一个能够体现这一点的项目是由A G Leventis基金会资助的塞浦路斯遗产地名辞典。该项目旨在为思考塞浦路斯遗产中的地点提供一个框架，并作为一个数据资源来追踪地名随时间的演变。任何1918年之前的文献中出现的地名都可以输入并与一个或多个现有位置相关联，这使我们能够在岛上建立参考网络。例如，这使我们能够问，1549年Florio Bustron描述的「Pano Calepia」与1918年George Jeffrey描述的「Kallepia」有什么区别？它的空间范围和与其他地点的关系如何变化，以及我们如何记录这些变化？

4. 您特别喜欢的一个数字人文项目？

有很多项目我都非常喜欢！我特别欣赏的是数字游记项目，该项目使用数字地图方法重新审视马格尼西亚的帕萨尼亚斯的作品，并在此过程中提出了关于文本、时间和地点之间关系

1. How do you define Digital Humanities?

I always define Digital Humanities through the community of digital humanists who are willing to experiment with interdisciplinary methodologies applied to humanities scholarship. By pushing the boundaries and working at the frontier, this approach helps to see the bigger picture and makes the research more transparent, accessible, and interactive.

2. How did you become interested in DH?

Being a cultural historian by training, I landed my first academic job at a very STEM-based university and found myself quite lonely among computer scientists and web developers. So, I started googling whether there was any intersection between humanities and information technologies. That’s how I first came across ‘digital humanities.’ I then participated in NYC DH Week, where I met the community and felt very inspired. This experience motivated me to propose the launch of a small DH centre to senior management. This initiative evolved into an international and interdisciplinary effort, culminating in exciting collaborative DH projects and the launch of the first MSc in Digital Humanities in Saint Petersburg.


3. Tell us about one of your DH projects? 

My very first DH project as a PI was St. Retrospect, an interactive mapping project aimed at representing culturally significant landmarks in Saint Petersburg. The visualisation is structured around the relationships between locations and historical figures, supplemented by historical overviews of the sites and the notable people associated with them. To collect data, we applied machine learning algorithms, such as NER (Named Entity Recognition), to extract locations and names from openly available digitised and machine-readable sources and then verified this information through crowd-sourcing. As an open-source project, its mission is not only to raise awareness about culturally significant sites within the local community but also to engage the community in evaluating historic locations and collecting relevant data.

4. Tell us a DH project you particularly like?

This small-scale project, Pages of Early Soviet Performance, holds significant importance despite its size. The project utilises machine learning to generate multiple datasets from early Soviet illustrated periodicals related to the performing arts. The project’s importance lies in its attempt to answer crucial questions, such as: what if this collection could be accessed as data? what patterns—of words, phrases, or images—can be discovered across the entire collection? By employing computer vision techniques and training a YOLO (You Only Look Once) real-time object detection model, textual and image data are being produced to facilitate new avenues of research on Soviet culture during the first decades after the October Revolution. Although this may seem like a niche project, it significantly contributes to the methods and approaches for working with digitised sources, extracting valuable data, and making it publicly accessible to foster further research.

1. 你如何定义数字人文学？

我总是通过那些愿意尝试跨学科方法来研究人文学科的数字人文学者群体来定义数字人文。通过突破边界和在前沿探索，这种方法有助于看到更大的图景，并使研究更加透明、可访问和互动。

2. 你是如何对数字人文学产生兴趣的？

作为一名受过文化历史学训练的人，我在一所以STEM为主的大学获得了第一份学术工作，发现自己在计算机科学家和网页开发者中间感到非常孤单。于是，我开始在网上搜索人文学科与信息技术之间的交集。就这样，我第一次接触到了“数字人文”。后来，我参加了纽约市的数字人文周活动，认识了这个社区，并深受启发。这次经历激励我向高层管理人员提议建立一个小型的数字人文中心。这个倡议逐渐发展为一项国际和跨学科的合作，最终促成了多个令人兴奋的数字人文项目，并在圣彼得堡推出了第一个数字人文学硕士课程。

3. 请告诉我们一个你的数字人文学项目？

我作为主要研究者的第一个数字人文项目是「圣彼得堡回顾」，这是一个互动的地图项目，旨在展示圣彼得堡的文化重要地标。该可视化围绕着地点与历史人物之间的关系结构，并补充了这些地点和相关著名人物的历史概述。为了收集数据，我们应用了机器学习算法，例如命名实体识别（NER），从开放获取的数字化和机器可读资源中提取地点和名称，然后通过众包验证这些信息。作为一个开源项目，其使命不仅是提高当地社区对文化重要地标的认识，还通过评估历史地点和收集相关数据来吸引社区参与。

4. 你特别喜欢的一个数字人文学项目是什么？

尽管这是一个小规模项目，但「早期苏联表演的页面」项目具有重要意义。该项目利用机器学习从与表演艺术相关的早期苏联插图期刊中生成多个数据集。其重要性在于试图回答关键问题，如：如果这个收藏能作为数据访问，会怎样？在整个收藏中可以发现什么模式——单词、短语或图像？通过使用计算机视觉技术和训练一个YOLO（You Only Look Once）实时对象检测模型，生成文本和图像数据，以促进对十月革命后最初几十年苏联文化的新研究途径。尽管这似乎是一个小众项目，但它在处理数字化资源、提取有价值数据和公开获取以促进进一步研究的方法和方法方面做出了重要贡献。
