***3rd Workshop on Computational History (HistoInformatics 2016) - 11th
July, Krakow, Poland***

Held in conjunction with Digital Humanities 2016, 12-16 July, Krakow, Poland

http://histoinformatics.org/

The HistoInformatics workshop series brings together researchers in the
historical disciplines, computer science and associated disciplines as well
as the cultural heritage sector. Historians, like other humanists show keen
interests in computational approaches to the study and processing of
digitized sources (usually text, images, audio). In computer science,
experimental tools and methods stand the challenge to be validated
regarding their relevance for real-world questions and applications. The
HistoInformatics workshop series is designed to bring researchers in both
fields together, to discuss best practices as well as possible future
collaborations.
Traditionally, historical research is based on the hermeneutic
investigation of preserved records and artefacts to provide a reliable
account of the past and to discuss different hypotheses. Alongside this
hermeneutic approach historians have always been interested to translate
primary sources into data and used methods, often borrowed from the social
sciences, to analyze them. A new wealth of digitized historical documents
have however opened up completely new challenges for the computer-assisted
analysis of e.g. large text or image corpora. Historians can greatly
benefit from the advances of computer and information sciences which are
dedicated to the processing, organization and analysis of such data. New
computational techniques can be applied to help verify and validate
historical assumptions. We call this approach HistoInformatics, analogous
to Bioinformatics and ChemoInformatics which have respectively proposed new
research trends in biology and chemistry. The main to!
pics of the workshop are: (1) support for historical research and analysis
in general through the application of computer science theories or
technologies, (2) analysis and re-use of historical texts, (3)
visualisations of historical data, (4) provision of access to historical
knowledge.
HistoInformatics workshops took place twice in the past. The first one (
http://www.dl.kuis.kyoto-u.ac.jp/histoinformatics2013/) was held in
conjunction with the 5th International Conference on Social Informatics in
Kyoto, Japan in 2013. The second workshop (
http://www.dl.kuis.kyoto-u.ac.jp/histoinformatics2014/) took place at the
same conference in the following year in Barcelona.

For our workshop at DH2016 we invite papers from a wide range of topics
which are of relevance for history, the cultural heritage sector and the
humanities in general. The workshop targets researchers who work on the
intersections of history and computer science. We invite papers on the
following and related topics (not restricted to):

- Natural language processing and text analytics applied to historical
documents
- Analysis of longitudinal document collections
- Search and retrieval in document archives and historical collections,
associative search
- Causal relationship discovery based on historical resources
- Named entity recognition and disambiguation in historical texts
- Entity relationship extraction, detecting and resolving historical
references in text
- Finding analogical entities over time
- Analysis of language change over time
- Modelling evolution of entities and relationships over time
- Network Analysis
- Automatic multimedia document dating
- Simulating and recreating the past course of actions, social relations,
motivations, figurations
- Handling uncertain and fragmentary text and image data
- Mining Wikipedia for historical data
- OCR and transcription old texts
- Effective interfaces for searching, browsing or visualizing historical
data collections
- Studies on collective memory
- Studying and modelling forgetting and remembering processes
- Estimating credibility of historical findings
- Epistemologies in the Humanities and computer science
