dhSegment: A generic deep-learning approach for document segmentation

B. Seguin*, S. Oliveira*, F. Kaplan, Frontiers in Handwriting Recognition (ICFHR) 2018 (website+code)

How the deep-learning approach we used originally for the processing of the Cini collection was generalized to many other cases of document processing for the Venice Time Machine.

A Learning Interface for Finding Visual Connections in Artworks

B. Seguin, L. Costiner, I. diLenardo, F. Kaplan, 2017 (to be released soon)

Finding visual connections between artworks is difficult because it relies on the exploration of very large corpuses of images. Here we present how one can continuously leverage previously acquired connections in order to help users explore the image space more efficiently.
