Metadata is data about data. It plays a key role in allowing people to access and use the information in libraries and archive catalogues. Despite recent technical advances of AI for interpreting text and images, the generation of metadata for large collections of historical books, images, and texts remains an unsolved problem. In this project, we work together with the KB National Library of the Netherlands in order to put explainable AI to use in libraries. For example, the KB National Library is seeking ways to enrich metadata for illustrations contained in important portions of its historical book collection and the library is also in need of technology that can establish new links between books in their million-scale collection that explain how the books are related.
In this multidisciplinary PhD project supervised by Dr Iris Hendrickx and Prof. Martha Larson, you will combine insights from explainable AI, data science, information retrieval, natural language processing and library science to address the practical challenges faced by large libraries. The project is part of the larger HAICu project, a Netherlands-wide initiative on AI and cultural heritage. You will carry out your research in collaboration with the KB National Library of the Netherlands, and you will have the opportunity to work with experts on the library premises in The Hague. There are many directions in which your research can contribute to the library and the direction of research will be determined in collaboration with experts from the library. The library will also provide rich data sets for use in the research and criteria for evaluating the success of the approaches you develop. You will be expected to conduct high-quality research, proposing creative solutions, working diligently, interacting with peers throughout the Netherlands, and publishing papers at top venues. Your teaching load will be up to 10% of your working time.
Profile
You hold a Master’s degree (or equivalent) in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Information Science, or a similar discipline.
You have a background in AI, empirical research, evaluating AI systems, or socio-technical factors.
You have a demonstrable interest in cultural heritage, library systems, digital humanities, and practice-oriented AI.
You have solid programming and software engineering skills.
You have an excellent command of written and spoken English and a reliable command of Dutch.
You have a healthy dose of creativity and work well in interdisciplinary teams.
