AI for digitized cultural heritage

The ongoing mass-digitization of documents by libraries fuels the future promise of having the cultural heritage of the world available online, digitally, for everyone to enjoy and (re-)use. But there are numerous technical challenges remaining to be solved before the potential of digitized cultural heritage can be fully leveraged.

This talk will outline the R&D activities in the area of document analysis and recognition conducted by the SBB-PK in the Qurator project with their main goals and challenges, AI methods applied and experiments conducted alongside with initial findings and results.
