EAGER: Analysis and Intelligent Search for Cypriot Works of Art and Secretariat Corpus

这个国家科学基金会迫切需要的项目是开发新的原型，用于(1)用于检索、分类注释和分析塞浦路斯文化遗产材料的标志性数字图像的标志性图像分析和识别，以及(2)搜索和探索古塞浦路斯秘书处语料库。(语料库包含从古代到早期基督教时代的作品，以时期文本形式书写，描述科学、哲学、社会评论等。)该项目将有来自宾夕法尼亚州立大学和塞浦路斯研究所的计算机科学家、考古学家和艺术历史学家参与。开发的系统将允许用户根据图像内容、形状草图和元数据等特征搜索代表不同历史时期塞浦路斯文化的标志性图像。从秘书处语料库，最终用户将能够搜索属于不同类别的物品，如不同时期的日常生活、神话、宗教、政治、语言、风景、事件和其他类别。塞浦路斯研究所已承诺大力支持这一项目。NSF国际科学与工程办公室将共同赞助该奖项。

This NSF EAGER project is to develop novel prototypes for (1) iconic image analysis and recognition for retrieval, classification annotation, and analysis of iconic digital imagery of Cypriot cultural heritage materials, and (2) searching and exploring the Ancient Cypriot Secretariat Corpus. (The corpus contains works from antiquity to early Christian era written in period text and describing scientific, philosophical, social commentary, etc.) The project will involve computer scientists, archeologists and art historians from Penn State and The Cyprus Institute. The systems developed will allow users to search for the iconic images in representative of Cypriot culture at various times of history based on such characteristics as image content, shape sketches, and metadata. From the Secretariat Corpus, end-users will be able to search for items belonging to different categories such as daily life at different periods, mythology, religion, politics, language, landscape, events and other categories. Strong support for this project has been pledged by the Cyprus Institute. The NSF Office of International Science and Engineering will co-sponsor the award.
