This Hackathon is organised by the DH team at the University and the Ottoman Nature in Travelogues project of the Austrian Academy of Sciences. Below is a short excerpt of the event. More information can be gathered on the event website.

Analysing intersections and interconnections of different media in digitised sources has recently gained attention in Arts, Humanities, and Digital Humanities (DH). In a paper published last year, Smits and Wevers make their case for a multimodal turn in DH. New technologies like large language models provide automated support for recognising specific contents, structures, and relations within pictorial and textual contents of cultural heritage data. But how are research communities approaching the analysis of text and image sources? Which challenges do researchers encounter when dealing with multimodal sources?
