[ALLOCATED] 25/26 PROJECT #7: Improvement of Image to Transcription process for Historical Documents

Declan O'Sullivan (email | all projects)

With tools such as Transkribus (https://www.transkribus.org/) and eScriptorium (https://www.sofer.info/), AI-based image processing techniques are unblocking what has been a hugely expensive and time-intensive process of turning historical documents into machine readable transcriptions, in a manner that enables a scaling up of the process. However such processes are not error-free (for example due to handwriting mis-transcribing … Read more

[ALLOCATED] 25/26 PROJECT #6: USING NLP/GenAI TO SUPPORT ANNOTATION OF TEXTS

Declan O'Sullivan (email | all projects)

This project focuses on how to deploy Natural Language Processing and Generative AI approaches to support historians to annotate transcriptions. Typically this means employing techniques to undertake Named Entity Recognition and Entity Linking tasks and providing candidate annotations to the historians through a simple user interface to allow for their validation. This is an urgent … Read more

[ALLOCATED] 25/26 PROJECT #5: Generative AI assisted synchronisation of knowledge graphs with evolving data source structures

Declan O'Sullivan (email | all projects)

Many knowledge graphs are not constructed from scratch, but rather are based on the ongoing uplift of data from existing data sources hosted in a variety of diverse data representations (relational data, JSON, CSV, XML etc.). The community has developed specifications that allow engineers who construct and maintain knowledge graphs to flexibly specify what data … Read more

[ALLOCATED] 25/26 Project #2 :Student proposed – App/Tool based on open data in support of Societal good

Declan O'Sullivan (email | all projects)

Vast amounts of data is being published by governments as open data (e.g. https://data.gov.ie). Typically the decision to publish a dataset in an open manner is mandated but decision made in isolation as to how it could be integrated with other datasets.  This research would focus on development of an App/Tool that would bring together … Read more

[UNAVAILABLE] 25/26 Project #1: Authoritative Interlinking of Knowledge Graphs

Declan O'Sullivan (email | all projects)

Increasingly Knowledge Graphs are underpinning Digital Humanities projects to support the representation and interlinking of data. For example in the recently launched Virtual Record Treasury of Ireland (VRTI), a KG is used to represent people, places, roles that appear in historical documents and their interconnection over the centuries. Typically these KGs are implemented using W3C … Read more
