Newspaper Navigator: Re-imagining Library Search and Discovery with Machine Learning [video replay]

In this talk, Ben Lee presented his project, Newspaper Navigator, created in collaboration with LC Labs, the National Digital Newspaper Program, and IT Design & Development at the Library of Congress, as well as Professor Daniel Weld at the University of Washington. In particular, he discussed the two phases of Newspaper Navigator: extracting visual content from 16+ million pages in Chronicling America (resulting in the Newspaper Navigator dataset) and re-imagining how we search over the extracted visual content using the Newspaper Navigator search application.
