Insight into Minerva

Recently, the INSIGHT project was invited to present its work in the DH lunch lectures series organized by our kind colleagues in Krakow. Because of the global lockdown, we presented our work virtually via a prerecorded session (archived link), followed by a live Q&A session over videoconferencing. Those who missed the talk are welcome to watch the recording which was published on YouTube afterwards. As will become clear in the talk (also embedded below), we discussed our work on Minerva, in which we capitalize on object detection methods from computer to detect musical instruments in unrestricted artworks from the visual artworks. We have an awesome paper coming up on this subject in a special issue of the journal Digital Humanities Quarterly and we’ll make sure to blog more extensively about that once it’s out — any day now. Stay tuned!
