The Goals of the Project#

The interdisciplinary DFG project Daidalos is developing a research infrastructure that follows the methodological approach of research-based learning and reuses existing tools, e.g. LatinCy. It is intended to enable researchers in Classics and neighbouring disciplines to enable them to,

  1. compile, analyse and adjust a specific corpus of Latin and/or ancient Greek texts

  2. visualise, save, share and export the analysis results,

  3. reflect on results and methodology, refine research questions or look at them from new perspectives, and

  4. develop their own digital research skills (digital literacies) and reflect on the use of AI.

Measures#

In order to achieve these goals, a research infrastructure is being created that addresses the different levels of its users.

  • Level 1: Complete embedding of the methods in a graphical user interface (‘NLP Tools’)

  • Level 2: Level 1 + a theoretical, case-based guide to working with Daidalos (‘NLP explained’)

  • Level 3: Level 2 + an overview of the resources used (‘Resources’), which also includes the frameworks developed for evaluating existing models (SEFLAG), for reflecting on methods (tbd) and for determining the necessary subject- and case-specific digital skills (digital literacies)

  • Level 4: Level 3 + programming environment with curated learning materials (‘Try NLP’)

  • Level 5: Level 4 with free use of the programming environment

In addition, we share all our work (talks, code, documentation, data if applicable) publicly available, e.g. in the Daidalos Community at Zenodo and in our GitLab space.
