    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Standard Ebooks is a volunteer-driven project that produces new editions of public domain ebooks that are lovingly formatted, open source, free of U.S. copyright restrictions, and free of cost.
Ebook projects like Project Gutenberg transcribe ebooks and make them available for the widest number of reading devices. Standard Ebooks takes ebooks from sources like Project Gutenberg, formats and typesets them using a carefully designed and professional-grade style manual, fully proofreads and corrects them, and then builds them to create a new edition that takes advantage of state-of-the-art ereader and browser technology.
Standard Ebooks aren’t just a beautiful addition to your digital library—they’re a high quality standard to build your own ebooks on.

    <title>[2110.14968] DocScanner: Robust Document Image Rectification with Progressive Learning</title>
    <dc:date>2023-09-17T18:35:38+00:00</dc:date>
    <link>https://arxiv.org/abs/2110.14968</link>
    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Compared with flatbed scanners, portable smartphones provide more convenience for physical document digitization. However, such digitized documents are often distorted due to uncontrolled physical deformations, camera positions, and illumination variations. To this end, we present DocScanner, a novel framework for document image rectification. Different from existing solutions, DocScanner addresses this issue by introducing a progressive learning mechanism. Specifically, DocScanner maintains a single estimate of the rectified image, which is progressively corrected with a recurrent architecture. The iterative refinements make DocScanner converge to a robust and superior rectification performance, while the lightweight recurrent architecture ensures the running efficiency. To further improve the rectification quality, based on the geometric priori between the distorted and the rectified images, a geometric regularization is introduced during training to further improve the performance. Extensive experiments are conducted on the Doc3D dataset and the DocUNet Benchmark dataset, and the quantitative and qualitative evaluation results verify the effectiveness of DocScanner, which outperforms previous methods on OCR accuracy, image similarity, and our proposed distortion metric by a considerable margin. Furthermore, our DocScanner shows superior efficiency in runtime latency and model size.

    <title>The Classical Style of Argument – Book and Sword</title>
    <dc:date>2022-02-10T15:11:45+00:00</dc:date>
    <link>https://www.bookandsword.com/2016/02/13/the-classical-style-of-argument/</link>
    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[This style of argument also has a name, and its an ugly one: appeal to authority. That name appears on lists of logical fallacies because simply invoking an authority does not explain why one should believe them over those who say differently. In case of Ada Lovelace’s mathematical works, the debate is clearly tied to powerful ideals and political factions in the broader culture, and it is very tempting to accuse those who say things one does not wish to hear of being biased. The only way to answer that charge is to test their arguments for coherence with the evidence rather than for political allegiance. But because neither side quotes or cites evidence and explains how they think it supports their opinion, this is hard to do. (For the record, Padua says that her graphic novel is full of footnotes and quotes from sources, and if so that puts her ahead of many promoters or critics of Ada Lovelace’s importance).

    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[As human beings and as scientists in the early 21st century, we have a crisis of epistemology and misinformation. Science is a system for distributed, verified trust and as the rate of publications increases, and new discoveries lead to conclusions which threaten more and more wealthy actors, that system has been breaking down. There is lots of talk about blame, but I don’t find that is helpful. Often, what seem to be two opposed factions lean on each other like tired wrestlers, and use the commotion of their fighting to keep their supporters too busy to ask awkward questions about the gap between the policies that their representatives say they support and the policies they enact. Instead of laying blame, I would like to talk about one of the things we are doing to solve this.

    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Throughout the nineteenth century, British journalists wondered whether or not it was safe to sleep near potted plants. Known to alter indoor air quality through photosynthesis and respiration, houseplants raised questions about the significance of sharing one's environment with vegetal beings. This essay investigates why concerns about houseplant safety persisted for so long in Victorian periodicals and examines what they can tell us about the perception of human-plant relationships in nineteenth-century Britain. Drawing on critical plant studies, I argue that the dangerous houseplant myth ironically afforded garden writers a chance to extoll vital ties between human and vegetal existence.

    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[In Governing the Commons: The Evolution of Institutions for Collective Action, Nobel Prize winner Elinor Ostrom writes, “All efforts to organize collective action, whether by an external ruler, an entrepreneur, or a set of principals who wish to gain collective benefits, must address a common set of problems. These have to do with coping with free-riding, solving commitment problems, arranging for the supply of new institutions, and monitoring individual compliance with a set of rules” (Ostrom 1990, 27). In addressing existing social systems, particularly those that collectively govern the use of non-renewable resources such as water ways, Ostrom proved that economically alternative situations could be beneficial to all parties involved. Her writing is rooted in traditional economic reform – the commons in this definition provide a necessary alternative to the free market, rather than an overhaul of capitalism.  In other words, Ostrom addresses what Lewis Hyde calls “The Tragedy of Unmanaged, Laissez-Faire, Common-Pool Resources with Easy Access for Non Communicating, Self-Interested Individuals”2 (Hyde 2010, 44).

To contrast Ostrom’s fundamentally reformist vision of the commons, theorists Fred Moten and Stefano Harney present another form of commons: the undercommons. The undercommons is a state of “permanent fugitivity,” one that functions through “stealing” and “collective orientation” as a mode of functioning within and beyond institutions. The critical academic in this worldview questions everything, creates solidarity networks, and shares an aversion to neoliberal professionalization of communities, particularly academic communities. The undercommons can provide an important reframing of the commons, particularly when considering it from an historical and anti-colonialist point of view. In considering the institution, Moten and Harney write that libraries in the academy are “this incredible gathering of resources… it’s nice to have books,” but that the undercommons is “a kind of comportment or ongoing experiment with and as the general antagonism… it’s almost impossible that it could be matched up with particular forms of institutional life” (Moten and Harney 2013, 112). Institutionally, the work in the undercommons is the work of the coalition, of the social, and against the neoliberal institution that precludes resistance and sociality.

    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Digital archives are the preferred means for open access to research data. They play essential roles in knowledge infrastructures - robust networks of people, artifacts, and institutions - but little is known about how they mediate information exchange between stakeholders. We open the "black box" of data archives by studying DANS, the Data Archiving and Networked Services institute of The Netherlands, which manages 50+ years of data from the social sciences, humanities, and other domains. Our interviews, weblogs, ethnography, and document analyses reveal that a few large contributors provide a steady flow of content, but most are academic researchers who submit datasets infrequently and often restrict access to their files. Consumers are a diverse group that overlaps minimally with contributors. Archivists devote about half their time to aiding contributors with curation processes and half to assisting consumers. Given the diversity and infrequency of usage, human assistance in curation and search remains essential. DANS' knowledge infrastructure encompasses public and private stakeholders who contribute, consume, harvest, and serve their data - many of whom did not exist at the time the DANS collections originated - reinforcing the need for continuous investment in digital data archives as their communities, technologies, and services evolve.

    <title>[1802.10038] Improving OCR Accuracy on Early Printed Books by combining Pretraining, Voting, and Active Learning</title>
    <dc:date>2020-01-26T13:51:59+00:00</dc:date>
    <link>https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.10038</link>
    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[We combine three methods which significantly improve the OCR accuracy of OCR models trained on early printed books: (1) The pretraining method utilizes the information stored in already existing models trained on a variety of typesets (mixed models) instead of starting the training from scratch. (2) Performing cross fold training on a single set of ground truth data (line images and their transcriptions) with a single OCR engine (OCRopus) produces a committee whose members then vote for the best outcome by also taking the top-N alternatives and their intrinsic confidence values into account. (3) Following the principle of maximal disagreement we select additional training lines which the voters disagree most on, expecting them to offer the highest information gain for a subsequent training (active learning). Evaluations on six early printed books yielded the following results: On average the combination of pretraining and voting improved the character accuracy by 46% when training five folds starting from the same mixed model. This number rose to 53% when using different models for pretraining, underlining the importance of diverse voters. Incorporating active learning improved the obtained results by another 16% on average (evaluated on three of the six books). Overall, the proposed methods lead to an average error rate of 2.5% when training on only 60 lines. Using a substantial ground truth pool of 1,000 lines brought the error rate down even further to less than 1% on average.

    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Dime novels were a format of inexpensive popular fiction produced in the United States between 1860 and 1930. Available for as little as a nickel or as much as a dime, they opened up leisure reading for the masses in a way previously not possible. Originally featuring stories about the American frontier and the West, cowboys eventually gave way to detectives, like Nick Carter, and boy adventurers and entrepreneurs, like Frank Reade Jr. This site contains materials from two major dime novel collections in Rare Books and Special Collections at Northern Illinois University, the Albert Johannsen and Edward T. LeBlanc Collections. It also hosts the Johannsen Project, a collaboration between NIU and Villanova University, generously supported by a Digitizing Hidden Collections grant from the Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR). Visitors may browse the entire full-text collection, explore a particular series or author, or start at our about pages to learn more about dime novels.

Kerr & Co. by Charles Hope Kerr, originally to promote his Unitarian views. As Kerr's personal interests moved from religion to populism to Marxism and he became interested in the labor movement, the company's publications took a similar turn. During the 1920s Kerr ceded control of the firm to the Proletarian Party of America, which continued the imprint as its official publishing house throughout its four decades of organized existence.

    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[The Internet Archive embarked on its effort to weave digital books into Wikipedia after the 2016 election. "No matter who you wanted to be president, I would say almost everyone would agree the whole process was a train wreck," Internet Archive founder Brewster Kahle said in a speech in San Francisco last week. From fake news and inauthentic social media campaigns waged by foreign nations to concerns about voting systems themselves being rigged, there were plenty of ways that technology and information systems failed the public. So Kahle convened a group of people to discuss how to improve the information ecosystem. One issue that came up was the fragility of Wikipedia citations. Books and academic journals supply some of the best, most reliable information for Wikipedia editors, but those sources frequently are either unavailable online or are behind paywalls. And even freely available internet content often disappears.

Alternately, readers can simply browse the report as a description of English-language fiction in HathiTrust Digital Library. For instance, how does the proportion of fiction written by British authors or by women change across time? We also divide nineteenth- and twentieth-century fiction into seven subsets with different emphases (for instance, one where men and women are represented equally, and one composed of only the most prominent and widely-held books). Comparing the pictures produced by these different samples allows us to assess the fragility of recent quantitative arguments about literary history.

Perhaps users would be required to register and electronically sign use policies. Perhaps content warnings would help users to determine if they want to proceed with viewing potentially traumatic materials. Without working closely with people of color, we don’t yet know what a caring digital platform looks like in the case of KKK newspapers, or even if one is possible.

As it stands now, however, the Hate in America collection fails to enact an ethic of care, so we call upon our readers to raise their voices to Reveal Digital. The online collection will not be made openly available until a funding threshold is reached, anticipated in 2019. Researchers and librarians, you can advocate for change to the access model before the collection becomes public. Libraries, you can withdraw or withhold commitment until Reveal Digital leaders engage librarians of color, race scholars, and anti-racist activists in dialogue about how to balance access and care.

    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[In this paper, we present an automatic system for the analysis and labeling of structural scenes, floor plan drawings in Computer-aided Design (CAD) format. The proposed system applies a fusion strategy to detect and recognize various components of CAD floor plans, such as walls, doors, windows and other ambiguous assets. Technically, a general rule-based filter parsing method is fist adopted to extract effective information from the original floor plan. Then, an image-processing based recovery method is employed to correct information extracted in the first step. Our proposed method is fully automatic and real-time. Such analysis system provides high accuracy and is also evaluated on a public website that, on average, archives more than ten thousands effective uses per day and reaches a relatively high satisfaction rate.

    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[It is with great pleasure that today I officially announce the launch of the Scissors-and-Paste-O-Meter, a free, online tool for tracking reprints and textual reappearances in 19th-century British newspaper material. The service allows visitors to browse or search through two of the most commonly used British newspaper repositories, the Times Digital Archive and the British Library’s 19th Century Newspapers, and discover the extent to which a particular text traveled across the nation between 1800 and 1900. The Scissors-and-Paste-o-Meter can be accessed at http://scissorsandpaste.net/scissors-and-paste-o-meter.

The tools aims to support researchers and students at all levels and in all fields to improve and contextualise their work with 19th century newspapers. Limited attribution within the newspapers themselves can often obscure the true origins of a piece of text. The Scissors-and-Paste-o-Meter therefore acts as a quick and unobtrusive aid to uncovering the ubiquity or uniqueness of a given snippet within these wider corpora.

With the support of the Digging into Data Challenge and Loughborough University, it will be expanded over the course of 2018 to include the London Gazette as well as titles held by Welsh Newspapers Online, Trove (The National Library of Australia) and Papers Past (National Library of New Zealand). If you would like to contribute to the growth of the Scissors-and-Paste-o-Meter, please feel free to contact me via email or on twitter.]]></description>

    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[In this paper we present a semi-automatic 2D-3D local registration pipeline capable of coloring 3D models obtained from 3D scanners by using uncalibrated images. The proposed pipeline exploits the Structure from Motion (SfM) technique in order to reconstruct a sparse representation of the 3D object and obtain the camera parameters from image feature matches. We then coarsely register the reconstructed 3D model to the scanned one through the Scale Iterative Closest Point (SICP) algorithm. SICP provides the global scale, rotation and translation parameters, using minimal manual user intervention. In the final processing stage, a local registration refinement algorithm optimizes the color projection of the aligned photos on the 3D object removing the blurring/ghosting artefacts introduced due to small inaccuracies during the registration. The proposed pipeline is capable of handling real world cases with a range of characteristics from objects with low level geometric features to complex ones.

    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Pool of knowledge available to the mankind depends on the source of learning resources, which can vary from ancient printed documents to present electronic material. The rapid conversion of material available in traditional libraries to digital form needs a significant amount of work if we are to maintain the format and the look of the electronic documents as same as their printed counterparts. Most of the printed documents contain not only characters and its formatting but also some associated non text objects such as tables, charts and graphical objects. It is challenging to detect them and to concentrate on the format preservation of the contents while reproducing them. To address this issue, we propose an algorithm using local thresholds for word space and line height to locate and extract all categories of tables from scanned document images. From the experiments performed on 298 documents, we conclude that our algorithm has an overall accuracy of about 75% in detecting tables from the scanned document images. Since the algorithm does not completely depend on rule lines, it can detect all categories of tables in a range of scanned documents with different font types, styles and sizes to extract their formatting features. Moreover, the algorithm can be applied to locate tables in multi column layouts with small modification in layout analysis. Treating tables with their existing formatting features will tremendously help the reproducing of printed documents for reprinting and updating purposes.

    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Sometimes I give talks about the challenges and opportunities for digitizing early printed books. I prefer to do this by looking at lots of different examples, including lots of different reproductions of different copies of the same book or different reproductions of the same copy of a single book. I keep a periodically updated list of these things to draw from when I’m teaching, and I thought some of you might like to draw on it as well. It’s a page of links rather than notes on my thoughts on the subject, but in some cases, they’re books I’ve written about before and I link to those pieces.

    <dc:date>2014-09-22T09:33:58+00:00</dc:date>
    <link>http://arxiv.org/abs/1403.1653</link>
    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[This report is a summary of research conducted on cloth tracking for automated textile manufacturing during a two semester long research course at Georgia Tech. This work was completed in 2009. Advances in current sensing technology such as the Microsoft Kinect would now allow me to relax certain assumptions and generally improve the tracking performance. This is because a major part of my approach described in this paper was to track features in a 2D image and use these to estimate the cloth deformation. Innovations such as the Kinect would improve estimation due to the automatic depth information obtained when tracking 2D pixel locations. Additionally, higher resolution camera images would probably give better quality feature tracking. However, although I would use different technology now to implement this tracker, the algorithm described and implemented in this paper is still a viable approach which is why I am publishing this as a tech report for reference. In addition, although the related work is a bit exhaustive, it will be useful to a reader who is new to methods for tracking and estimation as well as modeling of cloth.

    <link>http://arxiv.org/abs/1308.6319</link>
    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Characterizing noisy or ancient documents is a challenging problem up to now. Many techniques have been done in order to effectuate feature extraction and image indexation for such documents. Global approaches are in general less robust and exact than local approaches. That's why, we propose in this paper, a hybrid system based on global approach(fractal dimension), and a local one based on SIFT descriptor. The Scale Invariant Feature Transform seems to do well with our application since it's rotation invariant and relatively robust to changing illumination.In the first step the calculation of fractal dimension is applied to images in order to eliminate images which have distant features than image request characteristics. Next, the SIFT is applied to show which images match well the request. However the average matching time using the hybrid approach is better than "fractal dimension" and "SIFT descriptor" if they are used alone.

(Click on the links above for the catalog records of the examples shown below.) These scans can also be downloaded for teaching purposes and used in PowerPoint presentations by students and scholars alike.

And sometimes, when you do that, you notice all sorts of ways in which they’re weird—they mix manuscript and print together, they play with layout and movement, they come in different shapes and sizes, we find them in unexpected places. And so I give you a slideshow of early modern works that might destabilize assumptions about what early books were. If you click on the first of the images below, it will switch into a slideshow view that will let you see the pictures and read some brief captions that might spark some thoughts. To find out more about the works I’ve shown, you can pull up the images in our Digital Image Collection, which will let you explore them in close detail and to view their catalog records.

    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Abstract: Crowdsourcing for cultural heritage material has become increasingly popular over the last decade, but manuscript transcription has become the most actively studied and widely discussed crowdsourcing activity over the last four years. However, of the thirty collaborative transcription tools which have been developed since 2005, only a handful attempt to support the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) standard first published in 1990. What accounts for the reluctance to adopt editorial best practices, and what is the way forward for crowdsourced transcription and community edition? This talk will draw on interviews with the organizers behind Transcribe Bentham, MoM-CA, the Papyrological Editor, and T-PEN as well as the speaker's own experience working with transcription projects to situate Itinera Nova within the world of crowdsourced transcription and suggest that Itinera Nova's approach to mark-up may represent a pragmatic future for public editions.

    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Natural language processing is going to be important for all kinds of reasons — among them, it can eventually tell us which clauses are subjunctive (should we wish to know). But I think it’s a mistake to imagine that text mining is now in a sort of crude infancy, whose real possibilities will only be revealed after NLP matures. Wordcounts are amazing! An enormous amount of our cultural history is already tagged, in a detailed way that is also easy to analyze statistically. That’s not an embarrassingly babyish method: it’s a huge and obvious research opportunity.

    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[We’re often too quick to imagine that we’ve actually learned from the past. But new works often tend to recycle the same ideas over and over again into different media. To me this suggests that we might be more open to letting old works speak, that our task might not be so much to make new works but to build new platforms for old works to speak from. This might mean that we weave using others’ threads, that we take positions as arrangers rather than as sculptors.
Collage often does this. In recent years we have construed collage largely as an assembly of small units—as the equivalent of words, syllables or even phonemes. But I’d suggest that collage might also work in larger units, as sentences, paragraphs, chapters, even entire books. This kind of collage works slowly and in stealth, and will ultimately affect the way that we contrast new and old works.
To claim that a mode of art production is new, or different, or avant-garde, or insurgent, implies opposition to or rejection of what’s come before. Many people have made such claims for appropriation. On the other hand the filmmaker Craig Baldwin has gifted us with what I think is a really important idea: that found footage filmmaking is really folk art practice, that its roots are as traditional as they come. Collage has migrated from traditional arts and crafts we associate with folk culture into the digital domain, often accelerating and fragmenting along the way. In other words, we don’t need novelty to justify our practice.

Like most readers of this blog I realised that long s was used initially and medially, whereas short s was used finally (mirroring Greek practice with regards to final lowercase sigma ς and non-final lowercase sigma σ), although there were, I thought, some exceptions.

    <dc:date>2012-09-15T11:31:48+00:00</dc:date>
    <link>http://arxiv.org/abs/1208.3530</link>
    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[The New York Public Library is participating in the Chronicling America initiative to develop an online searchable database of historically significant newspaper articles. Microfilm copies of the newspapers are scanned and high resolution Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software is run on them. The text from the OCR provides a wealth of data and opinion for researchers and historians. However, categorization of articles provided by the OCR engine is rudimentary and a large number of the articles are labeled editorial without further grouping. Manually sorting articles into fine-grained categories is time consuming if not impossible given the size of the corpus. This paper studies techniques for automatic categorization of newspaper articles so as to enhance search and retrieval on the archive. We explore unsupervised (e.g. KMeans) and semi-supervised (e.g. constrained clustering) learning algorithms to develop article categorization schemes geared towards the needs of end-users. A pilot study was designed to understand whether there was unanimous agreement amongst patrons regarding how articles can be categorized. It was found that the task was very subjective and consequently automated algorithms that could deal with subjective labels were used. While the small scale pilot study was extremely helpful in designing machine learning algorithms, a much larger system needs to be developed to collect annotations from users of the archive. The "BODHI" system currently being developed is a step in that direction, allowing users to correct wrongly scanned OCR and providing keywords and tags for newspaper articles used frequently. On successful implementation of the beta version of this system, we hope that it can be integrated with existing software being developed for the Chronicling America project.]]></description>

    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Part III of an absolutely fascinating nanohistory series at BookTryst, examining each of the ads in a 1900s bookman's magazine.

"On August 10, 1915  Ralph Randolph Adams filed for, and on July 10, 1923 was granted a U.S. Patent for "Radioactive Spray Material."

"The object of this invention is to provide a radio-active substance for the purpose of stimulating plant growth. A further object is to provide a radio-active substance for the prevention and destruction of insects, larvae, eggs, bacteria and fungi which are injurious to plants or animals. A further object is to provide a material having these properties which can be efficiently applied by spraying, and which will adhere to the parts of plants above ground...or to the fur, feathers or skin of animals [our emphasis] which are bothered by pests...(U.S. Patent No. 1461340).

In short, Adams invented a radioactive insect-killer to spray on the leather he used for binding as a preservative to prevent pests from harming his work. Adams "Viennese" bindings prior to 1910 do not, presumably, require use of a Geiger counter, and, having one from 1902 recently pass through my hands, I am relieved. It is unknown to this writer whether Adams' post-patent bindings glow in the dark."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["For examples of materials with high merit and difficult rights status, Bruce Hartford of the American Civil Rights Movement website highlighted the sheer impossibility of determining rightsholders for many archival materials: internal documents created by Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) in the 1960s are orphans because SNCC no longer exists. A photograph taken by an unknown prisoner in a Southern jail of another prisoner is an orphan because the copyright is held by the unknown prisoner who took the original photograph. In a similar vein, Rick Prelinger aired a color video, possibly shot by an employee of the War Relocation Authority, of the 1944 release of Japanese-Americans interned at the Jerome War Relocation Center in Arkansas.

This is a crucial point that is rarely noted: orphan status may be most common for materials generated on the margins of society — by people whose names and presence were never recorded, sometimes because of persecution; or by informal or transient organizations, groups, and movements that never had an opportunity to create their own legacy. For this content — which includes some of the most important artifacts that a society is likely to produce, documenting both its struggles and those who speak without a recorded voice — formal interventions are unlikely to make a meaningful difference because there is so little ownership data to work with. In these cases, Fair Use is often the appropriate apparatus."]]></description>

The method collects relative data from the whole input image, while the image data are first represented by a content-level descriptor based on patches. This patch-equivalent representation of the input image is then corrected based on similar patches identified using a modified genetic algorithm (GA) resulting in a low computational load. The corrected patch-equivalent is then converted to the output restored image. The fact that the method uses the patches at the content level allows it to incorporate high-level restoration in an objective and self-sufficient way. The method has been applied to several degraded document images, including the DIBCO'09 contest dataset with promising results."]]></description>

The latest PDF version (as constructed on my computer) can be downloaded (via "view raw") from http://github.com/Vaguery/collegeJournalOfMedicalScienceSeptember1857/blob/master/work.pdf

A collection of scripts and checklists is coming out of this: scripts to do the heavy lifting translating self-contained HTML to TeX intended to be strung together into a single work, and checklists of small proofreading and hand-formatting tasks that need to be completed on each page.

The individual page TeX files are stitched together and typeset in ./work.tex, using XeLaTeX. Be sure to check the font assignments; I'm using purchased postscript fonts I own."]]></description>

The line strengths and ratios used in two dimensional classifications of each spectral class are described. A parallel classification scheme for metal-poor stars and the standards used for classification are presented. The extension of spectral classification beyond M to L and T and spectroscopic classification criteria relevant to these classes are described. Contemporary methods of classifications based upon different automated approaches are introduced."

Volume 1 of John James Audubon’s Birds of America was selected as the inaugural PictureIt book for a few reasons. Foremost, the eight volume set has special meaning as the first purchase for the Library by the Board of Regents of the University of Michigan. As well, the University of Pittsburgh had already digitized all volumes of the Birds of America set and was willing to share the images with the Library. And finally, the illustrated plates of this set were intricately completed, making them as much art work as scientific work. Volume 1 of Audubon’s Birds of America was also selected for the first PictureIt book because its complex images demonstrate the product’s embedded magnification tool which allows users to get up-close and view the details of each illustration."

    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["    The higher paranoid scholarship is nothing if not coherent—in fact the paranoid mind is far more coherent than the real world. It is nothing if not scholarly in technique. McCarthy’s 96-page pamphlet, McCarthyism, contains no less than 313 footnote references, and Mr. Welch’s incredible assault on Eisenhower, The Politician, has one hundred pages of bibliography and notes. The entire right-wing movement of our time is a parade of experts, study groups, monographs, footnotes, and bibliographies. Sometimes the right-wing striving for scholarly depth and an inclusive world view has startling consequences: Mr. Welch, for example, has charged that the popularity of Arnold Toynbee’s historical work is the consequence of a plot on the part of Fabians, “Labour party bosses in England,” and various members of the Anglo-American “liberal establishment” to overshadow the much more truthful and illuminating work of Oswald Spengler."

Yet she gets much of her information about planning proposals, crime and so on from the internet. This illustrates one effect of the digitisation of information. As newspapers weaken and die, most people probably become less informed about local affairs, but a few motivated folk grow extremely knowledgeable. Ms Price will miss the Bedworth Echo, but not as a source of news. It was, she says, a useful way of getting the word out."

It's hard to get into the 19th-century mindset and grasp how anyone could sit through these talks instead of, say, trimming one's toenails. But this was a popular pastime, in a society with no radio, no telephone, no movie theater, no TV. Faced with the absence of those things, I might wander down to the Lyceum hall too, to see what my friends were presenting on."

    <title>Legally Speaking: The Dead Souls of the Google Booksearch Settlement - O'Reilly Radar</title>

    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["In the short run, the Google Book Search settlement will unquestionably bring about greater access to books collected by major research libraries over the years. But it is very worrisome that this agreement, which was negotiated in secret by Google and a few lawyers working for the Authors Guild and AAP (who will, by the way, get up to $45.5 million in fees for their work on the settlement—more than all of the authors combined!), will create two complementary monopolies with exclusive rights over a research corpus of this magnitude. Monopolies are prone to engage in many abuses.
The Book Search agreement is not really a settlement of a dispute over whether scanning books to index them is fair use. It is a major restructuring of the book industry’s future without meaningful government oversight. The market for digitized orphan books could be competitive, but will not be if this settlement is approved as is."

If your music collection stretches back several decades, odds are you have at least a few beloved analog titles on cassette or vinyl. They need not languish unloved and unheard simply because they’re in an old format. With just a few steps, very little money, and a reasonable amount of time, you can bring those classic recordings into the digital era."
