In recent years, audiovisual (AV) content, with its growing accessibility, rich hidden meanings, and complexity in modality, became a new frontier for research in the humanities and computational domains. The quest for meaningfully opening up the variety of information (such as historical, social, affective, and aesthetic) available in ever-increasing AV materials requires a collective effort from both sides to co-create not only new methods but also new research questions. This transdisciplinary task pushes us to work across divisions, such as the “Humanities” and “Sciences”, in ways that can help realise a more collaborative, equitable, and generous configuration of the field of Digital Humanities.
This two day workshop, covering both the theoretical and practical aspects of processing and utilising audiovisual data (generously provided by our partners), provides an entry point and a test field for researchers working on Digital Humanities, audiovisual content understanding, and HCI to formulate and validate new ideas.
Participants who complete all workshop assignments will receive 2 ECTS credits. EPFL participants will be automatically registered with the ISA, while participants from other universities will receive a credit certificate.
Workshop registration is free. For participants travelling from outside of Lausanne, a subsidy for travel and accommodation for a maximum of CHF 350 can be provided on a selective basis.
