This interactive, hands-on workshop will focus on evaluating existing training materials and tools, with a particular emphasis on DARIAH’s TextGrid and Topic Explorer:

TextGrid: A powerful virtual research environment optimized for working with TEI-coded resources. You’ll learn how TextGrid can support the entire research process, from data management to publication, through the TextGrid Lab and TextGrid Repository.
Topic Explorer: A beginner-friendly tool for topic modeling that allows you to experiment with your own text corpora, without the need for programming skills. You’ll gain experience using a graphical user interface (GUI) to transform plain text or XML files into visualized results, including interactive graphs.

This workshop is tailored for PhD students at the early stages of their academic careers and offers a unique opportunity to develop hands-on skills while expressing your individual training needs in digital humanities.

Don't miss this chance to deepen your understanding of these powerful tools and connect with fellow researchers!
