Hi Ntae,

I hadn’t but just tried with one image and the results weren’t as good. I
will take a closer look though. The great thing about Clarifai is that
there is transparent pricing on their website and self serve signup.
Alchemy allows you to get a dev key easily enough but upgrading is a
“Contact Sales” scenario.

Cheers for the link.

Glen

[MCN-L] Online Collections Tagging

2015-11-16 Thread Sternbergh, Margaret 
Having recently made our collections available online for viewing and 
searching, we are beginning to determine next steps to make the database more 
useful. One priority is tagging the collection for context (style, art 
movement, etc), material (wood, metal, etc) and other useful searchable terms. 
We'd like to learn from other institutions who have recently embarked on such a 
project. If you have undertaken a tagging project and would be available to 
answer a few questions of from our registration team, please be in touch.

Thanks!
Margaret

Hi, Margaret!

The Portland Art Museum has been doing materials, subject, geographic, etc. 
layers of cataloging on our collection for about five years, using a 
combination of AAT, TGN, Iconclass, and home-grown thesauri. I'd be happy to 
chat with you!

Hi Margaret

The Yale Center for British Art has been doing subject, materials, geo 
locations indexing for a while as well. It is necessary for our production of 
Linked Open Data/RDF. We are using TMS and sharing our machine readable dataset 
via LIDO XML and CIDOC-CRM RDF. Be in touch if that's useful.

Re: [MCN-L] Online Collections Tagging

2015-11-16 Thread Glen Barnes 
We’ve just done some initial testing with Clarifai
<http://www.clarifai.com> for
auto-tagging images. The tags are not 100% but I think there is an
opportunity there to tag using something Clarifai and present these tags to
users - “Do any of these tags describe the work? painting, barn, landscape,
tractor”

They have 5000/month free plan which is good for testing. I would be
interested to see if others have had any experience with this or similar
systems.

Cheers
Glen

Have you looked at Alchemy API? Recently acquired by IBM's Watson unit,
they do decent image recognition.
