Artificial Intelligence: New Pathways Towards Cultural Heritage
The 25th international Conference on Cultural Heritage and New Technologies took place in 2020 in the city hall of Vienna under the headline “Artificial Intelligence – New Pathways Towards Cultural Heritage”.
The contributions deal with the application of computational approaches in all fields of cultural heritage, with a special emphasis on the utilisation of “Artificial Intelligence”. The topics include Remote Sensing, Data Acquisition and Modelling, and Methods for the analysis and presentation of digital data in archaeology and cultural heritage. The volume also contains Abstracts on the round table discussions held and the posters presented at the conference and a special session which was dedicated towards the 25th anniversary of the conference.
Human Origins – Digital Future: An International Conference about the Future of Archaeological and Paleoanthropological Databases
This eBook presents the proceedings of an online conference entitled, “Human Origins – Digital Future” which took place from 27-31 July 2020. The main aim of the conference was to discuss integrative aspects and approaches for developing, using and securing large scientific databases in the future, specifically in the context of archaeological and paleoanthropological research. The conference focused on how databases with novel information technology can be used to gain new knowledge by linking, retrieving and analyzing archaeological, paleoanthropological, paleobiological and geographical information. In addition to addressing fundamental questions of digitalization and open science, the conference examined approaches using innovative methods. Given the digital nature of the conference, we designed the format of this publication to employ multimedia and interactive features. Therefore, this volume brings together the abstracts of the talks, each containing a link that allows the reader to view the video as presented at the conference. In addition, the volume closes with a round-table discussion that can be accessed through links to interviews about selected topics related to the future of databases.
Monumental Computations: Digital archaeology of large urban and underground infrastructures
The international conference "Cultural Heritage and New Technologies" took place in 2019 on the theme "Monumental Computations - Digital archaeology of large urban and underground infrastructures" at the Vienna City Hall.
The conference papers address the challenges of large urban development projects for the responsible organizers, whose goal is to preserve the cultural heritage of the cities concerned as much as possible. In this context, computer-based approaches are indispensable in all steps of a large urban development project.
