LUCDH online lunch lecture: A Computational Investigation of 18th-century Book Ornaments from Manual Catalogues to Automated Discovery
This lecture is part of the Leiden University Centre for Digital Humanities‘ Lunch Lecture series.
On 14 October, from 12:00 to 13:00 hours, Ruilin Wang will talk about finding duplicate and near-duplicate decorative images by deep learning across 200,000 digitized books from the Eighteenth Century Collections Online. Is it possible to trace the hidden connections between 18th century publishers and printers through the ornamental images in their books?
