PhD workshop
Beyond Search: Opening Up Audiovisual Content for Humanities Studies
25-26 September 2023 (2 ECTS provided by EPFL, travel subsidy available)
In recent years, audiovisual content, with its growing accessibility, rich hidden
meanings, and complex modality, has become a new frontier for research in the humanities
and computational domains. The quest to meaningfully open up the variety of information
(historical, social, affective, and aesthetic) available in ever-increasing audiovisual
materials requires a collective effort to co-create not only new research methods but also
new research questions.
This 2-day workshop, covering both the theoretical and practical aspects of processing and
utilising audiovisual data, provides an entry point and a test field for researchers
working on digital humanities, audiovisual content understanding, and HCI to formulate and
validate new ideas.

Prof. Marina Hassapopoulou, New York University
