Digital Humanities Machine Learning Bootcamp

MehtA+ Digital Humanities Machine Learning Bootcamp will be taught by MIT, Stanford and Columbia alumni and take place virtually from June 21 - July 30, 2021. This six-week interdisciplinary summer bootcamp will provide students with expert instruction in cutting edge university-level AI/Machine Learning, which students will then apply to Digital Humanities projects run by professors from top US and International universities, including University of Bologna (Italy), University of Buffalo SUNY, Northeastern University, Haverford College and Kenyon College among others. Examples of projects that students will be working on include using machine learning to determine authorship of handwritten 19th century Italian texts and exploring tweets for dialectic change in Spanish language. In addition to learning crucial computer programming skills and gaining a deeper understanding of humanities research processes, students will potentially receive an opportunity to have their work published in professional academic journals. We are currently accepting applications from passionate and interested students. No prior experience in computer science is necessary. We encourage students to apply early as will be accepting students on a rolling basis. Scholarships are offered to students who demonstrate financial aid.
