Katie McDonough from the Turing Institute and Valeria Vitale from the University of Sheffield will be presenting an overview on machine learning and map text annotation tools to explore the potential of this workflow to generate data and metadata for and from digitized historical maps. Use cases will focus on National Library of Scotland’s Ordnance Survey Maps and Library of Congress’s Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps and will include an example of using these tools for crowdsourcing.<br /> <br /> Workshop image created with Dalle 2. 12:00 pm 01:00 pm America/Los_Angeles public
