[H. Michelle Chen]

*International Workshop on Big Data and Digital Humanities*

*In conjunction with The Second IEEE International Conference on Multimedia
Big Data (IEEE BigMM 2016 http://bigmm2016.asia.edu.tw/
<http://bigmm2016.asia.edu.tw/>)*

*CALL FOR PAPERS*

*WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION*

In recent years, improvements in IT have allowed for the creation and wide
availability of increasingly large data sets in the humanities field. These
huge, ever-growing data sets (i.e., "big data") require new analytic tools
for identifying trends and patterns, extracting key information, and
analyzing historical or cultural trajectories under the properties and
challenges of big data. The Workshop on "Big Data and Digital Humanities"
will be held in conjunction with The Second IEEE International Conference
on Multimedia Big Data (IEEE BigMM 2016: http://bigmm2016.asia.edu.tw/),
which will take place from April 20 to April 22, 2016 in Taipei, Taiwan.
This workshop will be a leading international venue for information
scholars and professionals to share and disseminate the latest research on
the interplay of big data and digital humanities. More details and updates
about the workshop can be found at: https://sites.google.com/site/bddh2016/.

*TOPICS*

Topics covered by the workshop will include, but not be restricted to, the
following:

   - Text analysis and data mining of cultural and historical archives
   - New media studies and multimedia objects in the humanities, e.g.,
   digital paintings, digital music, and films
   - Cultural analytics and social computing
   - Language and sentiment analysis
   - New infrastructure for the humanities, such as cyber- and cloud-based
   storage
   - Linked data, hypertexts, and semantic webs
   - Information and communication technologies that support cultural
   heritage
   - Interfaces, applied augmented reality, and interactive gaming
   - Geographic information systems and digital mapping
   - Large-scale retrieval over digital humanities data sets
   - Big digital humanities data collection, management, and analytics
   - Cross-modal analytic model for multimodal digital humanities data
   - Novel and incentive applications of digital humanities data in various
   fields (e.g., healthcare, advertisement and marketing, and entertainment)
