Please join us Thursday September 8, 2022 from 12 pm – 1 pm in Ahmanson Lab in Leavey Library the to learn about tools that can be used to transform historical maps into research data using machine learning. Katie McDonough from the Turing Institute and Valeria Vitale from the University of Sheffield will be presenting an overview on machine learning and map text annotation tools to explore the potential of this workflow to generate data and metadata for and from digitized historical maps. Use cases will focus on National Library of Scotland’s Ordnance Survey Maps and Library of Congress’s Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps and will include an example of using these tools for crowdsourcing.
