    Anonymized responses dataset from the Taylor & Francis Impact Assessment of Earth & Environmental Sciences Research: Author Survey.In Spring 2020, Taylor & Francis surveyed authors from across our Earth & Environmental Sciences portfolio.We investigated what benefits publishing in our journals could impart on both the research and on the authors following publication, and we looked at to what extent global challenges, such as those expressed by the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), were shaping researcher ambitions.</div

    Improved Typesetting Models for Historical OCR

    No full text
    We present richer typesetting models that extend the unsupervised historical document recognition system of Berg-Kirkpatrick et al. (2013). The first model breaks the independence assump-tion between vertical offsets of neighbor-ing glyphs and, in experiments, substan-tially decreases transcription error rates. The second model simultaneously learns multiple font styles and, as a result, is able to accurately track italic and non-italic portions of documents. Richer mod-els complicate inference so we present a new, streamlined procedure that is over 25x faster than the method used by Berg-Kirkpatrick et al. (2013). Our final sys-tem achieves a relative word error reduc-tion of 22 % compared to state-of-the-art results on a dataset of historical newspa-pers.

    No full text
    Keith Taylor, coordinator of the undergraduate creative writing program at the University of Michigan, reads poetry from a new manuscript just sent to his publisher and scheduled to be published in 2009. Taylor says that he writes about his experiences with Michigan's places and people and attempts to capture the daily patterns, habits, aspirations and dreams of those around him. He also reads from the following: "Battered guitars: the poetry and prose of Kostas Karyotakis", "And the waters prevailed", "What's needed now", and "The walk." He concludes by reading three short love poems and then answers questions from the audience. Taylor is introduced by MSU Librarian Peter Berg. Recorded in the MSU Main Library as part of the Michigan State University Libraries' Michigan Writers Series

    Unsupervised Code-Switching for Multilingual Historical Document Transcription

    No full text
    Transcribing documents from the printing press era, a challenge in its own right, is more complicated when documents interleave multiple languages—a common feature of 16th century texts. Additionally, many of these documents precede consistent ortho-graphic conventions, making the task even harder. We extend the state-of-the-art his-torical OCR model of Berg-Kirkpatrick et al. (2013) to handle word-level code-switching between multiple languages. Further, we en-able our system to handle spelling variabil-ity, including now-obsolete shorthand systems used by printers. Our results show average rel-ative character error reductions of 14 % across a variety of historical texts.
