PTI Seminar Series

Hear from Luddy Assistant Professor Kahyun Choi, who won an IMLS Junior Career Award through the Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian Program. She plans to develop an open-source AI framework for digital libraries to explore digitized poetry.

This talk will discuss the context, methods and early results of a few of the projects underway at the HathiTrust Research Center, including: using machine learning to detect and classify English-language fiction and Black Fantastic literature, exploratory computational study of Native American-authored literature, and updates on the production of new datasets to further cultural analytics research. Registration is required.

Hear from Dr. Robert Hanisch, Director, Office of Data and Informatics, Material Measurement Laboratory, National Institute of Standards and Technology. He will discuss NIST’s development of several discipline-specific data discovery platforms, an institutional open data repository, and laboratory information management systems (LIMS) that help to create FAIR data from electron microscopes.
