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.

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).

Centre for Digital Inquiry (CDI) at the University of Warwick

Date

2022

Short Description 

Founded in the 2020, the Centre for Digital Inquiry (CDI) is a cross-faculty research centre within the University of Warwick; it brings together humanities and social science research through critical digital research (Centre for Digital Inquiry, 2022). The centre develops and engages with digital research techniques and tools, and takes up the digital as a substantive critical topic, contributing to the existing knowledge of culture and society.

The CDI approaches the digital as a complex and multifaceted domain. On one hand, they acknowledge the vast array of computational technologies that fall under the umbrella of the digital, including smartphones, search engines, text mining software, and recommender systems. These technologies represent opportunities for innovation and research, offering exciting possibilities for exploration and development. On the other hand, the CDI recognizes that the digital realm is not without its problems. They view the digital as ‘problematic’,  notably in its association with challenges such as e-waste, trolling, misinformation, surveillance, micro-tasking, platformisation, and drone warfare. 

By approaching the digital as both a domain of technological advancement and a domain fraught with challenges, the CDI adopts a balanced perspective that acknowledges the opportunities and risks inherent in digital technologies. This approach allows researchers to engage with the complexities of the digital world and work towards solutions that promote positive outcomes for society. (Source: University of Warwick, 2023)

Year of Foundation

2017 (CIGH Exeter, 2017)

Short description

Specializing in history and cultural artefact research (CIGH Exeter, 2017), the University of Exeter established the Digital Humanities Lab in 2017. This state-of-the-art facility houses a Digital Humanities (DH) team, dedicated to offering expertise to advancing research and teaching through academic collaboration, training and research seminars, and sector-leading facilities for digital investigation and engagement. The lab offers expertise, equipment, and support for examining, preserving, and analysing historical, literary, and visual materials in alignment with the university’s expertise in international cultural heritage and creative past research. The lab’s establishment reflects the growing importance of humanities research and the integration of digital methods into scholarly practices.

While the DH lab is not an academic department, its collaboration with researchers from the Faculty of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences supports digital elements in traditional humanities research, fostering interdisciplinary exploration and innovation at the intersection of technology and humanistic inquiry.

The lab’s activities develop along four areas: collaboration on digital research projects and resources, grant development and data management support, website development and hosting, and digital skills training, including digitization services. In line with its goal of incorporating DH into teaching and research, the lab provides equipment, facilities, and digitization spaces for loans and supports off-campus use and specialist activities. Moreover, it offers skills training and digitalization experiences that can be integrated into teaching courses, along with internship, volunteering, and job opportunities for individuals interested in gaining digital and practical skills.

At the forefront of innovation, the lab encompasses new methods as they are developed, often deploying technological advances in science and engineering, and strive to contribute knowledge and best practice back to the global DH community. 

Presently, in alignment with the College of Arts & Humanities Digital Strategy for 2021-26, the lab has been successfully driving digital literacy through various training and support programs. Additionally, its efforts to incorporate DH into teaching and research align with the key theme of ‘Nurturing Hybrid Humanists’ within the strategy. Themes such as ‘Intelligent analysis of documents, artefacts, and environment’ and ‘Telling New Stories with Data’ further align with the lab’s support for international cultural heritage and creative past research. Lastly, the lab’s development of inclusive and accessible digital resources, along with its emphasis on holistic approaches to digital labour, addresses the impacts of digitized culture, reflecting the strategy’s theme of ‘Addressing the Impacts of Digitized Culture’. (Source: University of Exeter, nd)
