Machine Learning: training a model by creating a labelled dataset – Archives Hub Blog

In this post I will go through the steps we took to create a human labelled dataset (i.e. Note that the other approach, and one we will talk about in another post, is to simply let a pre-trained tool do the work of labelling without any human intervention. But we thought that it would be worthwhile to try the human labelling out before seeing what the out-of-the-box results are. I used the photographs in the Claude William Jamson archive, kindly provided by Hull University Archives. This is a collection with a variety of content that lends itself to this kind of experiment.
