Abstract:Classifying aesthetic forms -a methodology at the heart of art historyThe transformation of aesthetic styles has been at the heart of art history since its inception as a scholarly discipline in the late eighteenth century. Analyzing the single artifact and the carefully curated corpus have been the techniques for crafting hermeneutic understanding for such processes of change. Recently new instruments based on statistical techniques empower us for a fresh take on bodies of sources once disregarded as second t… Show more

“…Neural networks and deep learning techniques are among the most current approaches, enabling DH researchers to tackle demanding NLP and CV tasks. Examples range from more traditional use cases such as text analysis from historic and contemporary corpora (Clanuwat et al, 2019;Kestemont et al, 2017;Tanasescu et al, 2018), image and object classification (Bermeitinger et al, 2016;Wevers and Smits, 2020), to more particular applications like Egyptian hieroglyphs recognition, classification and translation (Barucci et al, 2021) or the development of semantic analysis and comparative query of art-historic collections (Garcia and Vogiatzis, 2019;Jain et al, 2021;Springstein et al, 2021).

PurposeThis study aims to explore the implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) in archival practice by presenting the thoughts and opinions of working archival practitioners. It contributes to the extant literature with a fresh perspective, expanding the discussion on AI adoption by investigating how it influences the perceptions of digital archival expertise.Design/methodology/approachIn this study a two-phase data collection consisting of four online focus groups was held to gather the opinions of international archives and digital preservation professionals (n = 16), that participated on a volunteer basis. The qualitative analysis of the transcripts was performed using template analysis, a style of thematic analysis.FindingsFour main themes were identified: fitting AI into day to day practice; the responsible use of (AI) technology; managing expectations (about AI adoption) and bias associated with the use of AI. The analysis suggests that AI adoption combined with hindsight about digitisation as a disruptive technology might provide archival practitioners with a framework for re-defining, advocating and outlining digital archival expertise.Research limitations/implicationsThe volunteer basis of this study meant that the sample was not representative or generalisable.Originality/valueAlthough the results of this research are not generalisable, they shed light on the challenges prospected by the implementation of AI in the archives and for the digital curation professionals dealing with this change. The evolution of the characterisation of digital archival expertise is a topic reserved for future research.

Text-based search engines can extract various types of information when a user enters an appropriate search query. However, a text-based search often fails in image retrieval when image understanding is needed. Deep learning (DL) is often used for image task problems, and various DL methods have successfully extracted visual features. However, as human perception differs for each individual, a dataset with an abundant number of images evaluated by human subjects is not available in many cases, although DL requires a considerable amount of data to estimate space ambiance, and the DL models that have been created are difficult to understand. In addition, it has been reported that texture is deeply related to space ambiance. Therefore, in this study, bag of visual words (BoVW) is used. By applying a hierarchical representation to BoVW, we propose a new interior style detection method using multi-scale features and boosting. The multi-scale features are created by combining global features from BoVW and local features that use object detection. Experiments on an image understanding task were conducted on a dataset consisting of room images with multiple styles. The results show that the proposed method improves the accuracy by 0.128 compared with the conventional method and by 0.021 compared with a residual network. Therefore, the proposed method can better detect interior style using multi-scale features.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
