Some of the topics that will be covered include documentation of AI use in human science research, qualitative research with LLM chatbots (Large Language Model chatbots), standards for pseudonymization of research data, AI and multilingualism in teaching, digital human science tools for investigating Swedish parliamentary debates, and much more.
Harko Verhagen, professor at the Department of Computer and Systems Sciences and head of the Digital Humanities unit at Stockholm University, is one of the conference organizers.

Can you briefly describe what HumInfra is and what this year's conference will be about?

”HumInfra is a national research infrastructure that primarily focuses on resources for experimental and digital human science research, and at Stockholm university it also covers social science research and legal research with a “digital human science character.” Sharing resources between stakeholders is key, with resources including tools (for example, data collection, data analysis, and data processing), training, expertise, and equipment. There are a total of twelve nodes in the country that are part of HumInfra, one of them is Digital Humanities (DHV) at Stockholm University, says Harko Verhagen.”

What is the purpose of the conference?

”The conference will showcase a number of resources at the HumInfra nodes, provide examples of how these resources are used in human science or support digital human science research in Sweden and across borders, and review the resource needs of the near future.”

What are your expectations?

”We expect some exciting demonstrations of tools with hands-on testing opportunities, presentations, and discussions about relevant research resources and challenges that exist or may exist in the future. Think about AI tools and their limitations and downsides, but also discussions about how we can share data – which is another kind of resource – in a safe and legal way.”
