Contents of Module
Cultural heritage constitutes a society’s collective memory and is typically curated by libraries, museums, and archives. In recent years, many of these institutions have started digitizing their collections and making them available to the general public. This course deals with this entire process from digitization, cleaning & error correction to providing efficient access to these cultural heritage collections.
The course will focus on three main areas:
* How can we digitize and automatically enrich our cultural heritage (e.g., data cleaning, NLP for cultural heritage)?
* How can we provide efficient access to digitized cultural heritage material (e.g., search, browsing & tagging, and recommendation)?
* Real-world cases from the literature: how are these issues dealt with in actual institutions?
