The RESUPH webpage (Research Support Platform for Humanities) is dedicated to researchers and university teachers from the Faculty of Letters, History and Theology (FLIT) at the West University of Timișoara, interested in the field of humanities. Through this initiative (a ROGER subproject), we aim to support the research community within our faculty in order to efficiently identify funding opportunities, research partners and institutional synergies for new projects.
From April 10th to 13th, 2023, West University of Timișoara hosts the conference "Smart diaspora - diaspora in higher education, science, innovation and entrepreneurship. Diaspora and its friends" together with other universities of the Timisoara University Alliance (ATU) and with UEFISCDI, in partnership with the Romanian Academy. The conference is organised under the High Patronage of the President of Romania and under the aegis of the Romanian Government, of the Ministry of Education and of the Ministry of Research, Innovation and Digitisation.

What is the aim of this workshop?
Currently, the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP) represents one of the fields with the most advanced application of frontier technologies in Artificial Intelligence (see tools such as ChatGPT), as well as an essential sector that can bring societal improvements in terms of access, processing, storage and dissemination of vast information resources. However, these technologies have not been sufficiently tested and adapted to the specificity of the Romanian language and its expressiveness: to a large extent, the insufficient use of automatic processing of Romanian texts is the insufficiency of heritage corpora and the pioneering stage of the field of Digital Humanities (DH) in Romania.
The main objective of this workshop is to bring together world-class experts in NLP and DH, as well as the national community of young researchers, to disseminate possible solutions for NLP and DH applied to Romanian language and literature resources. It will also discuss the potential limitations of this approach to the development of intelligent models for natural language.
