Using AI to Study Semantics in Classical Literature: Perspectives from the Field of Computer Science
By Abigail Swenor, University of Notre Dame, Neil Coffee, University at Buffalo, Walter Scheirer, University of Notre Dame
The use of artificial intelligence and machine learning has become increasingly prevalent across a multitude of disciplines, including humanities-based research. The study of semantics in computational linguistics and language has been reorganized by the introduction of tools such as neural networks and computational representations of language. In this paper, we explore the use of AI to study semantics specifically in classical literature and how we see this pedagogical relationship developing as AI continues to evolve.
From the Presocratics to ChatGPT: Teaching Classics and the Ethics of AI
By Jennifer Devereaux, Harvard University
Artificial intelligence has become an integrated element of our daily lives, transforming our research and classrooms. This was already evident in 2020, when I first taught a course in Classics and AI.
Why should I believe what you tell me is true?”: What Machine-Generated Homeric Poetry Tells Us about AI and Philology
By Annie K. Lamar, Stanford University
Linguist Charles Fillmore once described a certain tension between two types of researchers in the field (Fillmore 1991: 35)—there are armchair linguists who note interesting facts about language and corpus linguists who count, rank, and quantify whatever they can in the language.
