Understanding Student Success: Cross-Perspectives on EPITECH and EPITA
Speakers Faustine Rousselot
In this seminar, Faustine Rousselot will present the work she is conducting at EPITECH and EPITA on student populations and the conditions that foster their academic success.
Generative Models in Manuscript Studies: From Simulated Evolution to Digital Restoration
Speakers Chahan Vidal-Gorène
The seminar will explore the use of generative networks to create artificial manuscripts and scripts. It will highlight how these models assist in restoring damaged documents and simulating paleographic evolution.

This seminar presents recent advances in automatic media analysis for gender representation, developed within the ANR-funded Gender Equality Monitor project. It reviews methods for measuring speech time, visual presence, and thematic content by gender, and discusses the integration of these indicators into public reports, along with the challenges of going beyond binary gender categories.
Information extraction methods—such as named entity recognition, coreference resolution, or relation extraction—aim to produce structured data from unstructured or semi-structured sources like text. These structured outputs can then be used for various purposes, including database creation, ontology population, or automated reasoning. In the context of research in the humanities and social sciences (HSS), applying these methods is particularly valuable, especially when considering large-scale semantic annotation of corpora, thereby facilitating their critical study.
This project aims to create a multilingual catalog of popular literature by aggregating various data sources to link book content with reader engagement, thus enabling new perspectives on books as social and cultural artifacts.
In the context of Digital Humanities as a hybrid research field, we advocate for a genuinely interdisciplinary dialogue between the humanities and computer science—moving beyond mere tool application or engineering service—to promote the co-construction of methods, models, and interpretations, fostering a virtuous cycle grounded in epistemological collaboration, methodological reflexivity, and mutual disciplinary recognition.
Humanities Supporting Digital Methods: Toward a Virtuous Cycle in Digital Humanities?
Speakers Gaël Lejeune
In the context of Digital Humanities as a hybrid research field, we advocate for a genuinely interdisciplinary dialogue between the humanities and computer science—moving beyond mere tool application or engineering service—to promote the co-construction of methods, models, and interpretations, fostering a virtuous cycle grounded in epistemological collaboration, methodological reflexivity, and mutual disciplinary recognition.
