Machine Learning and Marginalia, Durham-Uppsala Workshop
IMEMS is hosting a workshop for the project “Machine Learning and Marginalia” which is supported by the joint research seedcorn fund of Durham and Uppsala Universities. This event may be of interest to those working in Digital Humanities or library services, or to any researcher studying early modern book culture.

The aim of the project is to build a machine learning model that can automatically identify handwritten annotations in early printed books in a manner that can easily be integrated into existing digitization workflows, in order to make such annotations more easily discoverable by researchers. The workshop will discuss both the technical infrastructure and the potential benefits for research.
Several people from Uppsala University will be attending the workshop: the director of the Centre for Digital Humanities, Prof. Anna Foka, with two other colleagues from the Centre (Sushruth Badri and Adam Maen), and two representatives from the University Library (Peter Sjökvist and Johan Sjöberg). The workshop will be very informal; if you would like to meet our guests, please stop by anytime.
