Towards Culturally Aware AI Systems
Presented 23 June 2021
Slide credits: Cultural AI team members Andrei Nesterov, Laura Hollink, Ryan Brate, Valentin Vogelmann + input and inspiration from all Cultural AI Colleagues
Biases in data can be both explicit and implicit. Explicitly, ‘The Dutch Seventeenth Century’ and ‘The Dutch Golden Age’ are pseudo-synonymous and refer to a particular era of Dutch history. Implicitly, the ‘Golden Age’ moniker is contested due to the fact that the geopolitical and economic expansion came with great costs, such as the slave trade. A simple two-word phrase can carry strong contestations, and entire research fields, such as post-colonial studies, are devoted to them. However, these sometimes subtle (and sometimes not so subtle) differences in voice are as yet not often represented well in AI systems.
In this talk, I will discuss how the Cultural AI Lab is working towards creating AI systems that are implicitly or explicitly aware of the subtle and subjective complexity of human culture. I will highlight the different research strands and activities that look at AI from different angles as well as how we engage with our user communities to create synergies between the technology and the daily practice of cultural heritage professionals.

Abstract
In the constellation of research fields, new configurations are continuously reshaping our ideas of what a field should be. This is particularly the case in the young field of digital humanities which, as David M. Berry noted, started with a focus on improving access to digital repositories and then moved to expanding the limits of archives to include born-digital materials as research objects. Both moves greatly impacted our research practice. However, I argue that we have only started scratching the surface of what digital methods can mean for humanities research.
In particular, as our methods and collaborations with other fields have matured, we can now start imagining new types of research questions that go beyond the sum of their ‘digital’ and ‘humanities’ parts -- to fundamentally change the nature of the humanities questions that we can ask. For such a reshaping to occur, we need to deepen the connection to our academic neighbours and keep looking beyond our own research community in order to ask these new questions. In my talk, I will present how multi-disciplinary collaborations between historians, linguists, and computer scientists can bring about new insights that may form the first steps to this future.

Computationally Tracing Concepts Through Time and SpaceMarieke van Erp
Slides for HNR2020 Keynote presentation
Abstract:
Digitised sources are a treasure trove for scholars, but accessing the information contained in them is far from trivial. Due to scale, traditional methods are insufficient to analyse the big data coming from these sources. Hence, computational methods look to be the solution. Indeed, computational methods can be utilised to identify and model concepts in large digital datasets, however the nature of these datasets as well as that of humanities research questions requires caution. In particular, the ramifications of time and location on understanding concepts cannot be underestimated.
In this talk, Marieke will present ongoing work on computationally tracing concepts through time and across geography using language and semantic web technology. The work illustrates that seemingly simple concepts (e.g. sugar) prove to be much more complex than expected. We discuss the importance of semantics in helping not only to deal with this complexity but reify it so that it can be interrogated both computationally and via expert analysis.
Slides 5, 8, 11, 12, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 are based the presentation Tabea Tietz gave for the paper "Challenges of Knowledge Graph Evolution from an NLP Perspective" in the WHiSe Workshop @ ESWC 2020 (2 June 2020).

Digitisation initiatives began due to long term preservation concerns. Questions concerning their impact have now come to the fore: “The measurable outcomes arising from the existence of a digital resource that demonstrate a change in the life or life opportunities of the community for which the resource is intended.” Jewish and Israeli digital resources can now be enhanced with relevant encyclopedias and controlled vocabularies through a LOD approach. The resulting knowledge grid can help bridge the gap between the digital resources and the knowledge of the intended communities of users. It will expand their application in narratives, scholarly research, higher education, K12, cultural tourism, genealogy and more.

Making cultural content available for everyone via mass digitisation is still a challenge for the European ALM (Archives, libraries and museums) sector. Most European memory institutions intend to digitise their whole collection and develop projects for the attractive presentation of their online available electronic content.
The creative industry expects content that is ready for remix and reuse even for business purposes. Based on the experiences of the meetings of Member States Expert Group on Digitisation and Digital Preservation the lecture will summarize the main factors that challenge the realization of this aim and outline possible solutions.
I will present the business needs (what creative reuse means), the legal barriers (how existing copyright rules make creative reuse difficult), the memory institutions’ perspective and some landmark projects from all over Europe that makes it clear that there is a light at the end of the tunnel!

The European (Digital) Library - Overview and OutlookOlaf Janssen
The European Library (www.theeuropeanlibrary.org) is a multilingual portal offering integrated access to the tens of millions of resources (books, magazines, journals...) of 18 national libraries in Europe. It offers free searching and delivers both digital and non-digital objects. It provides a vast virtual collection of mate-rials from all disciplines. The European Library is currently being expanded with the holdings of the national libraries of the 10 EU New Member States. From September 2006 onwards the remaining EU and EFTA na-tional libraries will be connected to TheEuropeanLibrary.org, bringing the total number of participating na-tional libraries to ±35 by the end of 2008.
In the beginning of 2006 the EC expressed support for The European Library to evolve into a much bigger European Digital Library (EDL), including access to the digital collections of other major cultural heritage institutions, such as museums and archives. The EDL is planned to include the holdings of all European na-tional libraries and a minimum of 2M digital works by the end of 2008. By 2010 the EDL needs to have ex-panded to include collections of archives, museums and other libraries, with a minimum of 6M digital works.
The European Library aims to remain a major player in the European cultural heritage field and is already strengthening its cooperation with other relevant key initiatives, such as MACS, DELOS, MICHAEL, BRICKS and MINERVA.

Over 170,000 artifacts have been
stolen or destroyed from the
museum, which once boasted an
irreplaceable collection of artifacts
from Mesopotamia dating back as
far as 7,000 years…
