Overview
We are excited to announce the First Workshop on Digital Methods for
Mythological Research (#dm4myth) taking place on December 3rd, 2024. The
workshop aims to bring together a network of researchers from various
disciplines and backgrounds who are passionate about mythological
narratives and their study using digital methods. This includes research
efforts such as the automatic or semi-automatic analysis and modeling of
mythological narratives, comparative efforts using digital tools, or the
study and representation of mythological characters.
#dm4myth is co-located with Computational Humanities Research (CHR2024,
Dec. 4th-6th), in Aarhus, Denmark. The workshop will consist of traditional
presentations by the participants, a networking and interest group portion
in the form of table discussions, and the kick-off of the #dm4myth network.
We welcome contributions from various humanities disciplines, such as (but
not limited to) Ancient Near Eastern Studies, Religious Studies, Classical
Studies/Classical Philology, Archaeology and Art History; as well as
technical approaches from Computer Scientists, including Semantic Web
specialists, Computational Linguists, Academic Data Scientists, and others.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Dataset construction, maintenance and development
- Knowledge representation (ontologies, knowledge graphs, controlled
vocabularies) for the mythological domain
- Application and development of NLP approaches for the study of
mythological plots and characters
- Approaches for automatic character disambiguation
- Visualization of plots and characters
- Knowledge extraction from narrative source materials
- Annotation of textual and/or visual narrative material (including
iconographic studies) in the domain
- Creation, fine-tuning, reuse of (Large) Language Models for the analysis
and narrative modeling of mythological sources
Best Paper Award: The organizers and the programme committee will invite
the authors of the best paper to extend their work into a chapter in an
upcoming volume on Digital Mythological Studies.
Goals of the Workshop
#dm4myth aims to
1. Facilitate knowledge exchange, including the development of best
practices, between researchers with different backgrounds who are
interested in applying and developing digital tools and methods for the
study of mythological narratives.
2. Create a network of researchers with shared interests across disciplines
(e.g. Classics, Ancient Near Eastern Studies, Religious Studies, Computer
Science, Computational Linguistics).
3. Pave the way for future interdisciplinary research on digital
mythological studies, and facilitate networking for researchers from
different backgrounds and disciplines.
Submissions
Papers should be submitted via the openreview
<https://openreview.net/group?id=computational-humanities-
research.org/CHR/2024/Workshop/dm4myth>
platform.
Types of Submissions:
Short Papers: 5-7 pages (excluding references)
Short papers include early-stage project results, work in progress,
negative results and critical reflections/tool criticism.
Long Papers: 7-10 pages (excluding references)
Long papers include full project reports, completed research, theoretical
reflections and original and unpublished results.
Submissions should be anonymised, written in English and must be formatted
according to the

Workshop Principles
We welcome participants from all related disciplines and career stages. We
specifically invite colleagues from under-represented communities,
geographical, organizational or linguistic backgrounds and small
disciplines to submit. At least one author should attend the workshop in
person or virtually to present the work.
The content of the submissions should be written by human author(s), i.e.
substantial <https://ceur-ws.org/ACADEMIC-ETHICS.html> contributions to the
submission by artificial intelligence agents are not allowed and will
result in a rejection. The application of AI-assistants is allowed only for
light editing (e.g. spell-checking) of sections that are authored by
humans. In the interest of good scientific practice, the organizers
recommend the publication of data and code repositories under creative
commons (or comparable) licenses.
All submissions under-go peer review from at least two members of the
programme committee. We aim to provide at least one review each by a
domain-expert and a technical expert.
