Recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), particularly large language models (LLMs), offer exciting possibilities for digital humanities research, specifically within computational literary studies. However, integrating these technologies responsibly and inclusively remains a critical challenge. This seminar introduces projects on Irish literature where the implementation of technical methods and discussions, in particular Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and AI workflow, can expand the scope of literary historiography and enhance close reading by introducing a machine-human synergy.
This event is part of the Friday Frontiers Autumn Series 2025.

This presentation shows results from the project CORSICA (Creation of Early Music Corpora). This initiative, growing from the COST action EarlyMuse, is directed by Frans Wiering (Universiteit Utrecht), with the participation of researchers from Spain, the Netherlands, the UK, Germany, Austria, and Sweden. The project sprang from the need to create a large corpus of early music data, coherently encoded and curated data that could be used for computer analysis, facilitating big-data studies. Hence, the research aims to improve the number of available corpora of Renaissance music by devising protocols to create collections of digital editions and, equally important, to facilitate the reuse of a sizable number of editions produced by a myriad of “citizen scientists” without much systematisation.
This event is part of the Friday Frontiers Autumn Series 2025.

GenAI is fundamentally reshaping our understanding of human-machine interactions, and it is changing creative production and consumption, reigniting debates on the nature of creativity and its evolving trajectory. AI-driven prompting has introduced new opportunities, empowering individuals from diverse backgrounds – including those without technical expertise – to engage in creative processes in unprecedented ways.
In the light of these developments and challenges, the GenAI & Creative Practices conference will address themes like Values & Creative Work and Governance & Regulation of GenAI.
