Learning outcomes

The laboratory aims to provide students with the knowledge and skills required to carry out articulated and interdisciplinary projects using the fundamental methodologies and technologies in Digital Humanities. At the end of the laboratory the students: - will be able to combine the previously acquired skills of programming, data and information management, and web development to autonomously implement complex Digital Humanities projects; - will know and will be able to apply a well-founded methodology for the planning and development of a Digital Humanities software project.

Program

Main subject of the workshop will be the application of computational methods and tools for text analysis and data visualisation. Practical exercises with the programming languages R and Python will be accompanied by: (1) critical-theoretical reflections on the potential and limitations of the presented methods; (2) exemplifications of their application to a series of case studies (focusing on the phenomenon of "digital social reading").
Main topics:
- GitHub
- stylometry
- sentiment analysis
- topic modeling
- machine learning
- web scraping
- maps
- networks

LANGUAGES AND PLATFORMS
R programming language (https://www.r-project.org/)
Rstudio platform (https://www.rstudio.com/)
Python programming language (https://www.python.org/)
Google Colab platform (https://colab.research.google.com/)
GitHub platform (https://github.com/)

Examination Methods

The laboratory will be developed in a series of meetings on two days a week for a total of 36 hours (3 CFU). Each meeting will consist of a short introduction or critical discussion of the subject under examination, followed by exercises.
The active participation of the students will be required and stimulated, with exercises aimed primarily at familiarising them with the rules and methods of programming and markup languages.
The examination will consist of the evaluation of a research project, which may be devised during the workshop or agreed with the teacher before the exam. Students will be asked to publish the project on the GitHub platform. The exam (to be conducted orally) will consist of the analysis and discussion of the project.
Non-attending students will also be guaranteed the possibility of taking the exam, but they will have to agree on a programme with some additions to facilitate individual study.

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE
