DESCRIPTION:Join us virtually to welcome DVP Speaker Elisa Barney Smith as 
 she presents her session on Applying Electrical Engineering and Computer S
 cience to the Humanities:\n\nApplications of electrical engineering and co
 mputer science like software engineering\, computer hardware\, circuits an
 d power grids are well known. The tools developed by engineers and scienti
 sts can also be applied to the humanities in fields such as art\, literatu
 re and history. This has become known as Digital Humanities. In her career
  Elisa has worked to apply image processing and machine learning (a more a
 ccurate word for the overused term “Artificial Intelligence”) to many 
 problems in many fields\, and recently several in Digital Humanities. Thos
 e projects include analyzing handwriting in WWI postcards\, analyzing marg
 inalia written by 19th century American author Herman Melville\, studying 
 typography in early printed books\, helping historians extract information
  from medieval manuscripts\, and even extracting text from a Dead Sea Scro
 ll. This talk containing many vivid illustrations will introduce the audie
 nce to the field of Digital Humanities and describe work she has done in s
 ome of these projects.\n\nPlease Note: This hybrid session will not be rec
 orded. While the Careers in Tech team is investigating awarding Profession
 al Development Hours (PDH) for these sessions\, no PDH certificates will b
 e available for this meeting.\n\nSpeaker(s): Elisa Barney Smith\, \n\nVirt
