In particular, the role of AI in the processing of visual and multimodal sources such as photographs and graphic materials will be a focal point of the conference.
The ETH Library will also be represented with a presentation by Nicole Graf on AI-based indexing in the image Archive of the ETH Library.
The conference with international experts from Austria, China, France, Germany, the USA, the United Kingdom, Switzerland and Sweden offers researchers from the fields of humanities, archives and collections a forum to get in touch with other researchers from the fields of artificial intelligence, computer science and digital humanities, to discuss new findings and exchange experiences. The event aims to promote an interdisciplinary, cross-sector dialogue between research, development and practice.
