Archives of observed weather data present unique opportunities for scientists to obtain long time series the historical climate many regions world. Unfortunately, most these observational records are to-date available only on paper, and thus require digitization transcription facilitate analysis climatic trends. Here we a new open-source software, MeteoSaver, that uses machine learning (ML) algorithms transcribe handwritten data. MeteoSaver version 1.0 processes images tabular sheets...
This article addresses academics who innovate in higher education and their characteristics. We undertake a qualitative case study of six individuals implemented disruptive transformative pedagogical approaches curricular practices departments and/or at institutions. Our findings point to common characteristics – motivation change institutionalized practices, interest change, experience the field, multi-embeddedness, authority act, strategic use social networks which seem play role...
Abstract Computing and the use of digital sources resources is an everyday essential practice in current academic scholarship. The present article gives a concise overview approaches methods within historical scholarship, focusing on question ‘How have humanities evolved what has that evolution brought to scholarship?’ We begin by discussing techniques which data are generated machine searchable, such as OCR/HTR, born‐digital archives, computer vision, scholarly editions linked data. In...
Abstract While the European Parliament is increasingly involved in EU governance, its role policy developments domains of strategic importance for has not been focus many studies. In this article, we analyse a new digital dataset containing more than 10,000 speeches delivered plenary between 1999 and 2014 identify patterns related to temporal increase or decrease Parliament's on higher education, topics linked education discussions concerning country party group affiliation members who speak...
Purpose Historical newspaper collections provide a wealth of information about the past. Although digitization these significantly improves their accessibility, large portion digitized historical collections, such as those KBR, Royal Library Belgium, are not yet searchable at article-level. However, recent developments in AI-based research methods, document layout analysis, have potential for further enriching metadata to improve searchability collections. This paper aims discuss...
Local and distant archives of observed weather data present unique opportunities for scientists to obtain long time series the historical hydrology climate many regions world. Unfortunately, most these observational records are still to-date available only on paper, thus require digitization transcribing machine-readable formats facilitate analysis hydroclimatic trends. Here we discuss rescue efforts recorded at 36 stations in Democratic Republic Congo from early 1950’s to-date. We...
In this paper, we explore changes in both structural and semantic characteristics of a scientific social network. We trace the emergence knowledge, what refer to as ideation, through publication data from two conferences sub-field Computer Science. Social network analysis is used determine co-authorship networks, perform on title words articles content topics over time. find that new accompanied by tendency toward less dense transitive, but more evenly distributed, networks. show ideation...
Stories are important tools for recounting and sharing the past. To tell a story one has to put together diverse information about people, places, time periods, things. We detail here how machine, through power of Semantic Web, can compile scattered materials construct stories. Through example WeChangEd research project on women editors periodicals in Europe from 1710–1920 we move archive, structured data model relational database, Wikidata, use Services API generate multimedia stories...
