Collaborative Research: Using Artificial Intelligence To Improve Administration of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)
Principal Investigator(s): Jason R. Baron Douglas W. Oard
Funders: Unfunded
Research Areas: Archival Science Machine Learning, AI, Computational Linguistics, and Information Retrieval
Memorandum of Understanding with MITRE Corporation to research the application of various forms of artificial intelligence (AI) including machine learning (ML) methods to aid in the redaction of documents corresponding to one or more FOIA exemptions.
Computational Thinking to Unlock the Japanese American WWII Camp Experience
Principal Investigator(s): Richard Marciano
Funders: Unfunded
Research Areas: Archival Science Machine Learning, AI, Computational Linguistics, and Information Retrieval
Exploring the legacy of WWII Japanese American Incarceration through computational archival science approaches.
Computational Treatments to re-member the Legacy of Slavery (CT-LoS)
Principal Investigator(s): Richard Marciano
Funders: Unfunded
Research Areas: Archival Science Data Science, Analytics, and Visualization Information Justice, Human Rights, and Technology Ethics
Using Computational Archival Science to unlock records related to the Legacy of Slavery and provide new point of interaction and analysis.
Machine Learning Strategies for FDR Presidential Library Collections (ML-FDR)
Principal Investigator(s): Richard Marciano
Funders: Unfunded
Research Areas: Archival Science Data Science, Analytics, and Visualization Machine Learning, AI, Computational Linguistics, and Information Retrieval
Demonstrate computational treatments of digital cultural assets using Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) techniques that can help unlock hard-to-reach archival content related to WWII-era records housed at the FDR Presidential Library. This content is under-utilized by scholars examining American responses to the Holocaust.
Measuring the Impact of Urban Renewal
Principal Investigator(s): Richard Marciano
Funders: Unfunded
Research Areas: Archival Science Data Science, Analytics, and Visualization
This is a case study focusing on the legacy of urban renewal in Asheville, North Carolina between 1965 and 1980, when housing policies were enacted that ultimately displaced and erased African American businesses and communities with traumatic and lasting effects. The study focuses on designing new access interfaces to tell human stories. Ongoing results were presented to the Racial Reparations Commission of the City of Asheville on May 20, 2023.
Testbed for the Redlining Archives of California’s Exclusionary Spaces (T-RACES)
Principal Investigator(s): Richard Marciano
Funders: Unfunded
Research Areas: Archival Science Data Science, Analytics, and Visualization Library and Information Science Machine Learning, AI, Computational Linguistics, and Information Retrieval
Making publicly accessible online documents relating to the practice of “redlining” neighborhoods in the 1930s and 1940s in eight California cities. “Redlining” refers to the practice of flagging minority neighborhoods as undesirable for home loans. The project creates a searchable database and interactive map interface.
