| | 45 | === Draw or Evaluate Annotations of Faces using "!ImageStat" Tool === |
| | 46 | Research is going on to improve face-detection and face-matching algorithms, for eventual incorporation into Vesuvius/PL and other projects. To assist with algorithm training/testing and "ground truthing", images of faces are being annotated with rectangles. A web-site tool, "!ImageStat", has been built to allow this. Annotators are needed to use this tool on public images, e.g., of celebrities. |
| | 47 | |
| | 48 | The specific task (broken into finite 2-3 hours chunks) may involve: |
| | 49 | * Drawing a frontal "face" rectangle, a "profile" rectangle, and/or representative "skin" rectangles. |
| | 50 | * Comparing such rectangles drawn by hand to rectangles marked by computer, and judging their similarity. |
| | 51 | |
| | 52 | === Annotate or Evaluation Extraction of Person Names, Place Names and Health Status of Missing and Found Persons === |
| | 53 | |
| | 54 | Research is underway to apply computer methods to extracting key features related to missing/found persons from English sentences found in free text. The sentences may be artificial or from a collection. Tasks may involve: |
| | 55 | |
| | 56 | * Identifying certain parts of speech within a sentence, as “ground truth” tagging. |
| | 57 | * Identifying person names, place names, and health status within a sentence, as “ground truth” tagging. |
| | 58 | * Evaluating the accuracy of parts-of-speech tagging done by computer parsing of sentences. |
| | 59 | |
| | 60 | There will likely not be task-specific software for this activity, rather the use of standard office tools like spreadsheets. It will be helpful to be a native or very fluent English speaker with some exposure to formal grammar rules. |
