- Cost share to Dianne – William to do this week
- Mike created .csv file for Gaurav – Trish review and forward to Gaurav
- Dec 18th Curious Images conference at British Library Labs – they would like presentation on Art of Life
PG –
Tesseract trials – Mike L Found some settings which improved somewhat but not sure if improvement on just the book he tested or across books. May have to tweak Tesseract to the source materials so maybe not good for large corpus with a lot of variation. Mike L Put a viewer together to plot inputs on a page so we can see OCR problems.
Trish check with Mike B to see his schedule this week.
- IMLS narrative and financial Due Dec 31st
Mining Biodiversity
- Testing tagging tools. Identifying books to process based on dates of pub, subject, language. Trish respond to Riza’s email for when she’s available this week
