Recent Advances in Digital Humanities

The volume offers an assorted collection of studies showcasing digitalization methods. The focus on Romance languages (e.g. Latin, Italian, Romanian, Spanish) provides an entry point in digital humanities, at large, exemplified by a tripartite division of the collection: resources and digitalization, tools and interfaces, and computational methods.

This volume is addressed to a wide range of scholars interested in the use of digital tools and methods in the humanities. Readers can find examples of new instruments and workflows which attest successful applications of the digital humanities techniques to some (traditional) problems in the scholarship of several disciplines. In addition, the focus on Romance language applications, while capturing specific language processing and analysis challenges, turns this volume into a valuable reference work.
