L’ObTIC et le SCAI organisent conjointement un workshop dans le cadre de la conférence Archival Education Research Institute (AERI 2024) à Abu Dhabi, Emirats Arabes Unis.
Workshop: AI and archival data: from research to education (09 October 2024)
Recent advances in artificial intelligence are transforming research and educational practices across a wide variety of academic fields within the humanities and social sciences. These fields include linguistics, literature, journalism, law, musicology, history, art history, archeology, and many more. This digital transformation is redefining the epistemology of these domains and their investigative methods through the dematerialization of educational infrastructures, access to digital data, and the use of increasingly sophisticated tools for corpus analysis. Among these well-known tools are text and image markup and recognition, text exploration and comparison, automatic generation of pedagogical content, dialogue chatbots, automatic translators, and summarizers. The effective utilization of these new and constantly evolving technologies in the realm of digital humanities and education requires interdisciplinary knowledge and collaboration. From this perspective, the objective of our panel is to unite researchers interested in applying artificial intelligence to archival data for producing educational content tailored to learners (audio-visual capsules, interactive resources, assessment tools, etc.). This involves the processing and analysis of archival data, such as digitization (OCR/HTR/OMR), textual analysis and stylometry, image analysis and object detection, and the analysis of architectural and art objects, among other tasks. Topics covered at this workshop will include the creation of pedagogical scenarios based on authentic data, such as historical events, literary works, and artifacts. Furthermore, our discussions aim to advance learning by employing immersive technologies and automating the adaptation of pedagogical resource complexity to align with learners’ proficiency levels. This includes methods such as interactive dialogues, virtual and augmented reality, among other innovative approaches. Our workshop’s presentations and discussions aim to stimulate dialogue in this expanding field and build networks among researchers, encouraging a interdisciplinary approach to future research and implementation.
