Digital Humanities Practicum: Material Culture and AI

Graduate / Professional

Project-based learning and teams are at the heart of Digital Humanities (DH) pedagogy. Most projects in DH are produced by teams of scholars with complimentary skills and domain expertise, and we learn best how to produce digital scholarship while we are working on tangible outcomes with a team. This semester we will be working as a collective to leverage Large Language and Multi-modal AI Models to explore our own collections at Yale, and the possibilities for discovery and querying of archival materials leveraging these technologies. Grad students from Computer Science, any Humanities discipline, and related fields, who want to learn practical applications of contemporary computational technology are welcome. Undergraduates may join the practicum with instructor's permission. T 4pm-5:55pm
