Dear colleagues,

the Daidalos team warmly invites you to take part in the two-day conference “Historical Languages and AI” in Berlin.

When: 5 - 6 March, 2026 Where: Jacob-und-Wilhelm-Grimm-Zentrum, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin

We look forward to an interdisciplinary exchange with researchers who bring a deep interest in digital methods for text analysis. Contributions from several disciplines, including computational literary studies, Digital Classics, and computational linguistics, will address topics such as the application of Natural Language Processing methods, the training and fine-tuning of large language models (LLMs), their evaluation for historical languages, and additional tasks such as LLM-based translation.

While the Daidalos project primarily focuses on Classics, we are excited to welcome contributions that reach beyond Latin and Ancient Greek as part of this enriching exchange, for example on Old and Middle French or Old Church Slavonic. The formats are not only aimed at advanced researchers: The hands-on workshops are particularly suitable for those looking to get started with scholarly work using AI.

We look forward to receiving your registration via the form soon. Please feel free to forward this invitation to anyone who may be interested.

Kind regards, Konstantin Schulz and the Daidalos team
