In addition, the HKADH2025 conference aims to bring together academics and practitioners from around the world to explore the intersection of artificial intelligence and the digital humanities. We invite proposals on a wide range of topics within this theme, with a particular emphasis on cutting-edge AI technologies and their applications in the humanities.
Special attention will be given to research involving recent advances in machine learning and AI, including:

Given Hong Kong’s strategic position, we especially welcome digital humanities research pertaining to Sinophone corpora, East/West comparisons, and projects focused on Hong Kong, Macau, and the Greater Bay Area. However, we are open to scholars working on any region and language.
Presentation Formats
Interactive Workshops are hands-on demonstrations of new technology, software tools, and digital humanities projects that provide attendees with practical experience with innovative tools and methods.
Posters are ideal for presenting work-in-progress. Poster sessions facilitate interactive discussions with attendees in an interactive format, allowing for immediate feedback and networking opportunities.
Short Papers (10 minutes for presentation and 10 minutes for questions) are for sharing early-stage research and receiving constructive feedback.
Organized Panels (105 minutes), comprised of two to three long papers focused on a joint theme and up to two discussants, require a collective submission of 500-word abstracts along with a 500-word overview of the session’s topic and its relevance to academic discourses in the digital humanities.
Roundtables (105 minutes) with up to five speakers foster in-depth discussions on a specific topic. The organizer must submit a 500-word abstract outlining the session’s theme, its significance, and confirmation of participation from all speakers.
