The HisClima database: historical weather logs for automatic transcription and information extraction
Knowing the weather and atmospheric conditions from the past can help weather researchers to generate models like the ones used to predict how weather conditions are likely to change as global temperatures continue to rise. Many historical weather records are available from the past registered on a systemic basis. Historical weather logs were registered in ships, when they were on the high seas, recording daily weather conditions such as: wind speed, temperature, coordinates, etc. These historical documents represent an important source of knowledge with valuable information to extract climatic information of several centuries ago. This paper presents a database for researching about the ca…
Reducing the Human Effort in Text Line Segmentation for Historical Documents
Labeling the layout in historical documents for preparing training data for machine learning techniques is an arduous task that requires great human effort. A draft of the layout can be obtained by using a document layout analysis (DLA) system that later can be corrected by the user with less effort than doing it from scratch. We research in this paper an iterative process in which the user only supervises and corrects the given draft for the pages automatically selected by the DLA system with the aim of reducing the required human effort. The results obtained show that similar DLA quality can be achieved by reducing the number of pages that the user has to annote and that the accumulated h…
Transcripción interactiva y multimodal de documentos manuscritos
El 7 de junio se celebró en el Aula Magna de la Universitat de València la Jornada “EUROPEANA REGIA y otros proyectos de digitalización en España: hacia el manuscrito 2.0”. Wolfgang-Valentin Ikas (Bayerische Staatsbibliothek) y Ana Barbeta (Universitat de València) presentaron los procesos llevados a cabo dentro del proyecto Europeana Regia y los resultados obtenidos ahora que el proyecto está a punto de finalizar. Otros ponentes presentaron también sus experiencias en la creación de bibliotecas digitales patrimoniales: la Biblioteca Nacional de España, la Biblioteca de Catalunya, el Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC), la Universidad de Sevilla, la Universidad Complutens…
