About this Group

👐 Anyone can view all content in the group, but only people who join it can post to it. Anyone can join to participate.


Purpose: Provides a forum for researching potential applications of Machine and Deep Learning in library science, including discussions, publications, and outreach to the wider Library community. Its goal is to educate librarians on uses of the complex techniques of machine learning and to provide a space for critically thinking both about new applications, and about the ethical and social impact of these technologies , as the field rapidly expands in the coming decade.

    BigLAM, an initiative to create an open source, community resource of LAM datasets, seems like it would be a great tool for those working in NLP in libraries and archives. It is a collaboration between BigScience and Hugging Face and is ongoing until the end of October.
