SUMMARY:Use and reuse of Information extraction and other computational ap

DESCRIPTION:As traditional scholars\, Assyriologists have often relied on 
 authority rather than reproducibility to build upon colleagues’ work. Wi
 th the important digitisation movement of the last 30 years\, the toolkit 
 at the disposal has tremendously diversified. Although a minority of speci
 alists have developed a digital branch of Assyriology and embraced new met
 hods\, sometimes following in the footsteps of fellow archaeologists\, thi
 s new territory of possibilities remains largely unexplored. In this talk\
 , I will introduce a few computational approaches to text and their applic
 ation\, looking at human-environment interactions and ancient identity mar
 kers. These approaches rely on computational linguistic methods\, and enco
 mpass information extraction and (linguistic) network analysis. Reuse of s
 uch methods\, despite open source practice\, often depends on sustainable 
 research infrastructures. In that spirit\, I will introduce the EU ATRIUM 
 project which focuses on reusable archaeological digital research workflow
 s and what this can mean for the future of the study of cuneiform cultures
