The training of this model is part of a research and development project at the Swedish National Archives, in collaboration with GPS400: Centre for Collaborative Visual Research at the University of Gothenburg, and Vinnova: Sweden’s innovation agency, as well as participants of the public through Citizen Science activities at the Regional State Archives in Gothenburg, where participants have transcribed most of the groundtruth spreads for training this model.
