FuzzyPhoto

Although textual resources comprise the single most comprehensive record of British photographic exhibitions in the 19th and early 20th centuries, they are not sufficient where research requires interrogation of the images to which they refer. This project is developing and testing computer-based "finding aids" to recommend matches between catalogue entries and images in online collections, even without precise matches. It is investigating the potential of combining probabilistic record linkage with "fuzzy clustering" to identify co-references based on attribute similarity.
