Measurement is essential to improving AI performance and mitigating harms for marginalized groups. As generative AI systems are rapidly deployed across geographies and contexts, AI measurement practices must be designed to support…
The need to digitize heritage objects is now widely accepted. This article presents the very fashionable context of the creation of ''digital twins''. It illustrates the diversity of photographic 3D digitization methods, but this is not its…
Neutron Computed Tomography (CT) is an increasingly utilised non-destructive analysis tool in material science, palaeontology, and cultural heritage. With the development of new neutron imaging facilities (such as DINGO, ANSTO, Australia)…
Museum curators and archaeologists use analytical science to provide important information on artworks and objects. For example, scientific techniques provide information on artwork elemental composition, origin and authenticity, and…
A confluence of advances in the computer and mathematical sciences has unleashed unprecedented capabilities for enabling true evidence-based decision making. These capabilities are making possible the large-scale capture of data and the…
Recent digitisation efforts in natural history museums have produced large volumes of collection data, yet their scale and scientific complexity often hinder public access and understanding. Conventional data management tools, such as…
By the outset of this review, 168 million people needed humanitarian aid, and the number grew to 235 million by the end of the completion of this review. There is no time to lose, definitely no data to lose. Humanitarian relief is crucial…
The information era is the time when information is not only largely generated, but also vastly processed in order to extract and generated more information. The complex nature of modern living is represented by the various kind of data.…
A vast area of research in historical science concerns the documentation and study of artefacts and related evidence. Current practice mostly uses spreadsheets or simple relational databases to organise the information as rows with multiple…
In the last decade, the digital age has sharply redefined the way we study human behavior. With the advancement of data storage and sensing technologies, electronic records now encompass a diverse spectrum of human activity, ranging from…
The rapid technological advancements made the concept of digital immortality less fantastical and more plausible, sparking academic and industrial interest. Existing literature mainly discusses philosophical and societal aspects, lacking…
The interdisciplinary topic of archaeo-astronomy links science subjects such as astronomy with archaeology and sociology to explore how ancient societies perceived the heavens above. This is achieved by analysing ancient sites such as…
The University of Bologna has a long tradition in Digital Humanities, both at the level of research and teaching. In this article, we want to introduce some experiences in developing new educational models based on the idea of transversal…
Digital Twins (DTs) are increasingly used as autonomous decision-makers in complex socio-technical systems. However, their mathematically optimal decisions often diverge from human expectations, revealing a persistent mismatch between…
Archaeological sites are the physical remains of past human activity and one of the main sources of information about past societies and cultures. However, they are also the target of malevolent human actions, especially in countries having…
The connection between texts is referred to as intertextuality in literary theory, which served as an important theoretical basis in many digital humanities studies. Over the past decade, advancements in natural language processing have…
In an era of ubiquitous data collection, platform dominance, and AI-mediated governance, the social contract of digital life is increasingly shaped by a few private actors rather than democratic deliberation. This paper advances a…
Cadastres from the 19th century are a complex as well as rich source for historians and archaeologists, whose use presents them with great challenges. For archaeological and historical remote sensing, we have trained several Deep Learning…
This technical note presents a reproducible workflow for converting a legacy archaeological image collection into a structured and segmentation ready dataset. The case study focuses on the Lower Palaeolithic hand axe and biface collection…
Creative works, whether paintings or memes, follow unique journeys that result in their final form. Understanding these journeys, a process known as "provenance analysis", provides rich insights into the use, motivation, and authenticity…
