MapReader: a computer vision pipeline for the semantic exploration of maps at scale
We present MapReader, a free, open-source software library written in Python for analyzing large map collections. MapReader allows users with little computer vision expertise to i) retrieve maps via web-servers; ii) preprocess and divide them into patches; iii) annotate patches; iv) train, fine-tune, and evaluate deep neural network models; and...Hosseini, Kasra ; Wilson, Daniel C.

Living Machines: A study of atypical animacy
This paper proposes a new approach to animacy detection, the task of determining whether an entity is represented as animate in a text. In particular, this work is focused on atypical animacy and examines the scenario in which typically inanimate objects, specifically machines, are given animate attributes. To address it,...Coll Ardanuy, Mariona ; Nanni, Federico ; Beelen, Kaspar ; Hosseini, Kasra ; Ahnert, Ruth …

DeezyMatch: A Flexible Deep Learning Approach to Fuzzy String Matching
We present DeezyMatch, a free, open-source software library written in Python for fuzzy string matching and candidate ranking. Its pair classifier supports various deep neural network architectures for training new classifiers and for fine-tuning a pretrained model, which paves the way for transfer learning in fuzzy string matching. This approach...Hosseini, Kasra ; Nanni, Federico ; Coll Ardanuy, Mariona

Resolving places, past and present: toponym resolution in historical British newspapers using multiple resources
Newspapers and their metadata are richly geographical, not only in their distribution but also their content. Attending to these spatial features is a prerequisite in newspaper research. Following other projects to have geoparsed place names in newspapers, we describe our approach to linking historical geospatial information in text to real-world...Coll Ardanuy, Mariona ; McDonough, Katherine ; Krause, Amrey ; Wilson, Daniel C.S. ; Hosseini, Kasra …
