Abstract

Although humanities is considered less relevant to information technology, several AI techniques such as natural language processing and image processing have been used to expand scalability and contribute to the outreach of research findings.

This presentation will present case studies and discuss possibilities for further collaboration based on the differences between humanities and AI technologies in terms of their objectives.
