Digital Mapping of the Historical Landscape of Baltic Germans Using Named-Entity Recognition (NER) and geographical mapping
The project “Digital Mapping of the Historical Landscape of Baltic Germans” focuses on exploring and visualizing the history and culture of the Baltic Germans using modern digital tools. The primary goal is to create a digital map highlighting important locations and geographical patterns documented in the newspaper Baltische Briefe. This project aims to investigate the cultural identity of the Baltic Germans and their historical significance. It is conducted in close collaboration with the Institute of the National Czech Corpus, whose expertise in linguistic analysis and Named-Entity Recognition (NER) plays a vital role in the project’s success.
