Abstract


Computational humanities is at the intersection of computing technologies and the disciplines of the humanities. Research in this field has steadily increased over the past years. Computational tools supporting textual search, large database analysis, data mining, network mapping, and natural language processing are employed by the humanities researcher.  This opens up new realms for analysis and understanding.  This paper provides a brief introduction into computational humanities.
