Title Constructing Knowledge Graphs from Documents: An Epistemological Approach to Information Management in the Age of Artificial intelligence
Description In the Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS), research frequently involves extracting information from texts to address research questions defined in the context of specific agendas. Parallel to this, the field of Artificial Intelligence has developed dedicated methodologies for constructing knowledge graphs from large-scale text corpora.
This seminar introduces students to the foundational methodologies and associated epistemological considerations inherent to information extraction from texts. These concepts are applied through a collaborative project with history students at the University of Basel that will contribute to defining suitable text corpora and formulating relevant research questions. The intended outcome is the construction of knowledge graphs comprising information pertinent to the research objectives.
