If network analysis has made its way into the humanities toolbox, and especially in history, it is because it helps to grasp the complexity of the objects of these disciplines. However, to understand the multidimensionality of the data requires a consequent reflection on its modeling. This paper seeks to be part of a series of publications aimed…[Read more]

We show that it is possible to achieve satisfactory segmentation results with the deep learning…[Read more]
