In a practical sense\, the question asks if humanists work with or create data that is immediately available for computational use. On a more theoretical level it could be asked if humanists have data at all. Both questions are fundamental given (for example) AI’s voracious appetite for training data and as\, in an age of academic precarity\, the humanities seek both a realistic future and a usable past. The talk will address both questions through the example of the speaker’s experience on Digital Humanities projects in textual studies\, book history and computer vision. \nBio: Giles Bergel is Senior Researcher in Digital Humanities in the Department of Engineering Science at the University of Oxford. A book historian by training\, he manages an engagement programme in the humanities for the EPSRC-funded Visual AI project\, while also pursuing research in the computational analysis of the printed page\, currently including for the AHRC-funded Envisioning Dante project. \n  \nThis event is being run by the Digital Humanities Community of Practice\, in collaboration with the Digital Humanities Hub. The DH CoP and the DH Hub work together in supporting researchers to build knowledge and skills in DH\, to develop and undertake DH research projects\, and to maintain digital research outcomes. \nOur events are open to all researchers\, staff\, and PGRs from any subject – we welcome interdisciplinary collaboration!
