Project

My main activity will be in the project “Artificial Intelligence for Archives and Records: An Approach to the Requirements to a Project”, coordinated by Pilar Campos, also at Faberllull.

The aim is to develop a resource for the professional archives sector that allows a better understanding of the challenges of Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Deep Learning in relation with the possible solutions to specific problems in the world of archives and records. In other words, identify the prerequisites for promote a project and adjust the expectations about the results.

In parallel, I will also collaborate on the "Model for an AI-Assisted Digitization Project", coordinated by Eng Sensavang, also at Faberllull and a member of InterPARES too.

Finally, as a cross result of the projects, it is proposed to hold a open seminar at the Municipal Archives of Girona with some of the participants in the project. The proposal will be defined in the work prior to the stay and will be announced with the collaboration of Faberllull and the Society of Catalan Archivists.
