Centre of Excellence in Artificial Intelligence for Digital Humanities

Project description

Integrating AI into Digital Humanities in Ljubljana

The University of Ljubljana aims to strengthen the region’s capacity to integrate AI, particularly within digital humanities (DH) research. In this context, the EU-funded AI4DH project will establish the university as a leading institution in Europe for AI applications in DH. It will create a Centre of Excellence (CoE) that combines top-tier AI research with support for DH scholars, enhancing their ability to leverage AI opportunities. The project will help the university attract projects and funding to ensure long-term sustainability, improve research infrastructure and combat regional brain drain by attracting researchers to Slovenia. Professor Antoine Doucet, a distinguished Computer Science professor at La Rochelle Université, will lead the centre.

Objective

The Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Artificial Intelligence for Digital Humanities (AI4DH) Era Chair is an ambitious initiative in Slovenia designed to enhance this European regions capacity to integrate Artificial Intelligence (AI) into the research conducted at the University of Ljubljana in Digital Humanities (DH). This project seeks to establish the university as a leading institution in Europe for AI applications in DH through the creation of a CoE that combines top-level AI research with direct engagement and support for DH scholars. The CoE will foster research excellence and provide tailored training and services, thereby increasing the humanities' capacity to leverage the many exciting opportunities offered by AI. The CoE will attract projects and other funding, ensuring its sustainability, enhancing the university's research infrastructure, and reversing the regions brain drain by attracting researchers to Slovenia. The AI4DH centre will be created under the leadership of Professor Antoine Doucet, who is currently Professor in Computer Science at La Rochelle Universit, France. Prof. Doucet has an excellent track record, both as a researcher and innovator, with many accolades as a manager of research and interdisciplinary higher-education activities.
