AI4Culture Hackathon
The AI4Culture Hackathon saw professionals, institutions and passionate individuals from the fields of AI, digital humanities, and cultural heritage teaming up to transform how we preserve, enrich, and interact with our shared cultural heritage.
Held in the KU Leuven campus in Leuven, the hackathon was designed to guide the participants to learn more about the AI tools available on the AI4Culture platform, trying them first-hand using unique cultural heritage datasets. Europeana, the treasure trove of European digital cultural heritage hosting over 50 million digital items, was the primary repository for datasets. Participants had the opportunity to explore five AI tools developed as part of the AI4Culture project. These tools include features such as AI-powered solutions for automatically generating multilingual subtitles for audiovisual content, applying OCR, transcription, and automated data enrichment techniques to enhance the quality and accessibility of digital collections, and detecting objects and other features in photos and videos.
During the closing ceremony in the Arenberg Castle on 20 February, the participants presented their projects and a winning team was selected.
