Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

The course is aimed at providing students with the skills necessary to understand the sheer potential of the digital methods for the humanities, using the Python Programming Language for a handful of common tasks in the domain. The course will present a broad overview of methods and tools, specifically covering the following: OCR & Natural Language Processing (NLP) Pipelines, Visualization & Dashboards, Spatial Analysis, Image Analysis, Social Network Analysis (SNA), Sentiment Analysis, SQL and NoSQL Database Management. The course approach is both theoretical and practical, with an intense load of hands-on exercises. The students are expected to have familiarity with digital environments, and previous practice with programming is desired, but not mandatory.
