The 2nd IEEE workshop on Big Humanities Data will be held on 27 October 2014, in conjunction with the IEEE International Conference on Big Data (IEEE BigData 2014), which takes place between October 27-30, 2014 in Washington DC, USA. The workshop will address applications of “big data” in the humanities, arts, culture, and social science, and the challenges and possibilities that such increased scale brings for scholarship in these areas.

Full papers, of up to 9 pages, should be submitted via the conference online submission system. We also encourage submission of short papers (up to 4 pages) reporting work in progress. The submission deadline is August 30, 2014. All papers accepted will be included in the proceedings published by the IEEE Computer Society Press, which will be made available at the conference.

Topics covered by the workshop include, but are not restricted to, the following:
•       Text- and data-mining of historical and archival material.
•       Social media analysis, including sentiment analysis
•       New research objects for humanities analysis such as digital music, film
•       Cultural analytics
•       Social analytics
