Promise and Peril: Generative AI in Digital Scholarly Editing

Virtual
Virtual Event Virtual Event

Generative AI is rapidly becoming integral to digital scholarly editing workflows, as demonstrated by diverse initiatives from the digital humanities, including workshops by the Institute for Documentology and Scholarly Editing (IDE) at the last two annual DH conferences. On June 25 at 11:00 EDT, Animating Text Newcastle University will host Dr. Martina Scholger (University of Graz) for a presentation on the applicability of generative AI in digital editing workflows and the resulting transformation of editorial processes as seen with long-established digital edition projects at the University of Graz’s Department of Digital Humanities.

Unlocking the U.S. Department of State’s “Consular Cards”: Experimenting with AI Transcription of Handwritten Historical Documents (A Webinar with FromThePage)

Virtual
Virtual Event Virtual Event

Do today's latest "AI" models offer capabilities not possible with traditional OCR, for unlocking documents whose handwritten contexts were impenetrable with previous technologies? A decade ago, the Office of the Historian scanned its "Consular Cards file", a collection of 6,500 handwritten index cards containing listings of officials at all U.S. diplomatic and consular posts from 1789-1960. A unique and foundational source for understanding the history of U.S. foreign relations, the utility of the scanned cards remained limited due to OCR's inability to extract text from the ornate cursive handwriting on these cards. Experiments conducted this year with multimodal AI tools have produced breakthrough, if imperfect, results. The talk will demonstrate the methodology and results of these experiments and will offer tips and caveats for scholars considering such tools.
