Today at the Turing we launch MapReader - A computer vision pipeline for exploring and analyzing images at scale, with a two-day workshop with talks and events to introduce it to the world! https://github.com/Living-with-machines/MapReader #mapreader #dh #maps #history...
We are delighted to have talks from researchers on the project including @kmcdono and @danielwilson so far, as well as keynotes from Chris Fleet (NLS) and Nicole Coleman (Stanford) (tomorrow). Explore initial MapReader outputs on this nifty viewer https://maps.nls.uk/projects/mapreader/info/
@kmcdono @danielwilson Kaspar Beelen and Jon Lawrence discuss spatial historical research in 'Beyond the Tracks', a teaser for our forthcoming project book; Kasra Hosseini on computer vision; @kallewesterling on community; Andy Smith and Rosie Wood explain the engineering all before lunch! #mapreader
