"Exploring the Feasibility of a Virtual Video Archive"

提案0738341“探索虚拟视频档案的可行性“PI：布鲁斯G。BuchananAAAI摘要人工智能（AI）项目的许多早期演示和该领域先驱解释基本AI主题的许多讲座都被录制在录像带和电影中，但其中很少有以档案形式保存下来，也很少有可以从公共门户网站访问的。随着时间的推移，由于格式不兼容和原始材料的老化，这一历史记录受到威胁并容易丢失。对于已经数字化的视频，需要做大量工作来索引和编辑材料，以便它们对学生、教师和广大公众有用，并且可以比今天更容易地访问相关材料，因为今天的材料即使在网上可以找到，也没有以连贯的方式进行编目或组织。该项目将探索一个低成本计划的可行性，以收集和保存人工智能历史上重大科学事件的视频记录。信息将被收集在一个“虚拟档案”中，其中将包含对该领域的知识历史至关重要的原始磁带和电影。它将与当前的AAAI AITopics门户网站集成，该门户网站目前包含有关人工智能主题的信息（例如，机器学习、知识表示、语音、机器人技术）。AITopics将重新设计，使新的视频页面和现有的文档页面具有相同的外观和感觉。该项目将利用知识共享的“维基”模式来收集有关人工智能相关视频的信息，并将个人手中的原始录像带和电影转移到长期档案存储中。在此过程中，该项目将开发一套程序，用于保存，以及人工智能科学家和学生社区对网站的增长和使用。

Proposal 0738341"Exploring the Feasibility of a Virtual Video Archive"PI: Bruce G. BuchananAAAIABSTRACTMany early demonstrations of Artificial Intelligence (AI) programs and many lectures of the field's pioneers explaining basic AI topics have been captured on videotape and film, but few of these have been preserved in archival form or have been accessible from a common web portal. This historical record is threatened and vulnerable to loss as time passes because of format incompatibility and deterioration of original materials. For videos that have already been digitized, much work is needed to index and edit materials, so that they are useful to students, teachers, and the public at large, and that the relevant materials can be accessed with much more ease than is the case today, where materials, even if available on the web, are not catalogued or organized in a coherent manner. This project will explore the feasibility of a low-cost plan to collect and preserve the video record of significant scientific events in the history of AI. Information will be collected in a "virtual archive" that will contain original tapes and movies critical to the intellectual history of the field. It will be integrated with the current AAAI AITopics portal, which at present contains information on central AI topics (e.g., machine learning, knowledge representation, speech, robotics). AITopics will be re-designed so that both the new video pages and the existing document pages have the same look-and-feel. The project will exploit the 'wiki' model of knowledge sharing to collect information about AI-related videos and to move original videotapes and movies from the hands of individuals into long-term archival storage. In doing so, the project will develop a set of procedures for preservation, and for the growth and use of the website by the community of AI scientists and students.
