2nd International Conference on Data & Digital Humanities
Generative Artificial Intelligence for Text and Multimodal Data
12th – 13th December 2024 · University of Minho, Braga, Portugal (hybrid conference)
We are pleased to announce the 2nd International Conference Data & Digital Humanities, which will take place at the University of Minho, Braga, Portugal, on 12th-13th of December 2024, as a virtual and face-to-face conference. This will be an event hosted by CEHUM – Center for Humanistic Studies (General Co-Chairs Sílvia Araújo & Micaela Aguiar).
The first edition of this congress began as part of the research project PortLinguE (PTDC/LLT-LIG/31113/2017), entitled "Multilingual portal for specialized languages: mining open data for cross-language information retrieval", in collaboration with the research project DIAL4U (2020-1-FR01-KA226-HE-095526), entitled "Digital pedagogy to develop Autonomy, mediate and certify Lifewide and Lifelong Language Learning for (European) Universities" and with the research project SimpleText (University of Bretagne Occidentale).
Our second instalment continues the conversation among these research domains, aiming to foster the exchange and dissemination of innovative practices in employing Generative AI for both multimodal and textual applications within the academic community.
The conference covers the three main steps for processing data and aims to make data science methods more accessible to the larger community and to the Humanities in particular.
Getting and cleaning all your data before analyzing it
Exploring your data using different methods and tools
Presenting your data in a clear and compelling way
The idea is to be able to use Generative AI to gather, clean, manipulate, and analyze textual and multimodal data as well as to weave it into compelling and inspiring stories.

Panel
Getting data, exploring data with different methods and tools, and telling a storywith data: the Brazilian Academic Multiliteracy Corpus (BrAMCorp) and academic literacies research
This panel brings together researchers engaged in the study of academic literacies and the generation and analysis of data, particularly in the context of the Brazilian Academic Multiliteracy Corpus (BrAMCorp), an action developed within the research project “University Learners in Contemporary Academic and Scientific Literacy Practices for Training Teachers and Globalized Researchers” (FAPESP). The presentation will report on the implementation of a computer system to manage databases of student's academic productions in different languages, the development of a linguistic and multimodal corpus to support a university project aimed at studying academic reading and writing in Portuguese, and reflect on the production of multimodal texts that communicate the results of research carried out on the development of academic literacy of young university students entering the Universidade Estadual de Campinas (Brazil).
