Unlocking the Record of American Creativity With Data Extraction and Content Structure

DCL and The New York Public Library (NYPL) will speak at Digital Book World in New York City on January 17. Greg Cram, Associate General Counsel and Director, Information Policy at NYPL and Mark Gross, President at DCL, will present a case study that details how NYPL with the support of DCL has digitized historical records of the US Copyright Office, making those records searchable, accessible, and useful for new product development and more. "Unlocking the Record of American Creativity With Data Extraction and Content Structure" is an ambitious and generous initiative by the NYPL to make books available anywhere at any time for its patrons.

Document Formats that Leo Hates    

Leo Belchikov is a Senior Project Manager at Data Conversion Laboratory and has spearheaded many conversion projects over his 25 years at DCL. Internally we often say “Leo is going to hate this” when we encounter a format that is not up to par with his requirements of content portability, accessibility, and flexibility. We asked Leo to share some of his observations about the typical formats he encounters when converting from one format into XML.

Detecting AI-Created Text With GPTZero

A college student—Edward Tian, a 22-year-old senior at Princeton University—recently released an app to detect whether text was written by ChatGPT (oh, and he did this over his winter break!). As organizations and industries are increasingly aware of AI plagiarism and logarithmic narratives, humans want to discern what is written by a human and what is composed by an AI. GPTZero is a free app that allows users to paste text into the application and analyze using two key indicators: "perplexity" and "burstiness." The complexity of text and whether or not the bot is familiar with the text comprises the perplexity measure. Burstiness involves sentence variations. Humans typically combine long and short sentences in writing, while AI sentences are more uniform.

Tables are Tough! Perfecting an AI Model to Automate Table-to-XML Extraction | 1 February

Transforming tabular content into a structured model such as XML or HTML is nearly always a manual or semi-manual process. Data Conversion Laboratory and FuseMachines created an AI model that finds and extracts information from all tables in a document using a combination of Computer Vision (CV) and Natural Language Processing (NLP). We’ll review how we developed and managed a hybrid approach of rules-based processes and machine learning to identify and extract tabular data, and augmented training data to develop an AI model that automates table-to-XML extraction.

What’s the Difference between Anonymization and Redaction of Clinical Trial Data?

When it comes to disclosing data from clinical trials of investigational drugs to the public, the vernacular may seem just as confusing as the process! The terms “anonymization” and “redaction” are used interchangeably regarding transparency and disclosure of clinical trial data. But what are the differences in technique or method behind each? We may think of “anonymization” as assigning a patient a new subject ID, and “redaction” as black-boxing information we don’t want to disclose. But when do we use one approach over the other?
