Update: we've extended the survey to April 30th to allow for more responses! We're floored by the response - almost 40 projects so far - but we wanted to allow time to encourage more people to respond. We're keen to hear about projects of all age/stages, from those still in progress to those 'finished' years ago, and from those who can't answer all the questions. We also need to hear from more museums and archives, and from more countries! I've also shared a preview of the survey questions in a PDF linked from a blog post https://collectivewisdomproject.org.uk/survey-integrating-volunteer-and-ai-enriched-metadata-into-collections-systems/ The survey link again: https://forms.gle/JgArpbL6VNM6W3Vk9 Finally, we're talking about our work on 'what happens to enriched data' from crowdsourcing and machine learning/AI at t*onight's AI4LAM Community Call*. That's April 16, 16:00 BST, with me (Mia Ridge, BL), Samantha Blickhan (Zooniverse), and Meghan Ferriter (US GSA) on crowdsourcing lessons that apply to ML / AI. We're leaving lots of time for Q&A and discussion! https://docs.google.com/document/d/10JSDVVXS1qwNqa_DgH099ZjkfWKuVmcMOKV1oWVEZ9Q/edit#heading=h.4g22ry3gwl0n for the call link and agenda.
