The 5th International Conference on Natural Language Processing for Digital Humanities

The 5th International Conference on Natural Language Processing for Digital Humanities (NLP4DH 2025) sits at the productive intersection of computational linguistics and humanistic scholarship, exploring how NLP tools and methods can unlock insights from historical texts, literary corpora, archival documents, and cultural heritage collections. Topics include historical text normalization, named entity recognition in archival sources, sentiment and emotion analysis in literary works, multilingual and low-resource NLP for historical languages, and the critical evaluation of NLP tools by humanistic standards.

The conference matters because digital humanities projects are generating textual datasets at a scale that demands computational assistance, while NLP research benefits from the challenging, diverse, and often messy real-world data that humanists bring. Computational linguists, digital humanists, archivists, literary scholars, and historians with a computational bent all find NLP4DH a welcoming venue that takes both the technical and interpretive dimensions of this work seriously.
