Efrat Miller is Head of Computational Research Methodologies at DHSS Hub. She is a PhD candidate in the Department of Information Science and Applied Artificial Intelligence at Bar-Ilan University. She holds bachelor's and master's degrees in linguistics from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and has a professional background in computational linguistics.
Efrat's research focuses on developing and applying computational methods in the digital humanities and social sciences, integrating qualitative and quantitative research approaches. Her doctoral research develops a methodological framework for the digitization and analysis of national photobooks of Israel. Combining close and distant reading, the study examines how meaning is constructed through the relationships between images, texts, and the physical and narrative structure of the book and proposes a multilayered ontology for representing these relationships.
