Historical Languages and AI
International Conference
Berlin/hybrid, 5-6 March 2026
The Daidalos team warmly invites you to take part in the two-day conference “Historical Languages and AI”, held in the Auditorium of the Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm Center at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. We look forward to an interdisciplinary exchange with researchers who bring a deep interest in digital methods for text analysis.
While the Daidalos project primarily focuses on Classical Philology, we are excited to welcome contributions that reach beyond Latin and Ancient Greek as part of this enriching exchange, for example on Old and Middle French or Old Church Slavonic.
Contributions from several disciplines, including Computational Literary Studies, Digital Classics, and Computational Linguistics, will address topics such as the application of Natural Language Processing (NLP) methods, the training and fine-tuning of large language models (LLMs), their evaluation for historical languages, and additional tasks such as LLM-based translation.
Alongside a panel on LLMs and one on specific NLP applications, the programme includes two panels on datasets and data augmentation and a final panel on applications beyond research. There will be ample space for networking and discussion, with refreshments provided during the breaks.
The breadth of topics represented in the programme explicitly addresses participants from the Digital Humanities, English Studies, Classics (Greek and Latin), Romance Studies, Slavic Studies, Library and Information Science, and the GLAM sector.
Researchers from text-based disciplines and neighbouring fields who are interested in digital methods and the scholarly use of AI are also very welcome to join us — either on-site or online.
