Our #image #analysis #pipeline is ready to go into #pruduction.

It combines #AI and #forensic techniques to assess authenticity. It first extracts EXIF/XMP #metadata to detect real camera data forcing a “photograph” classification if present. Then, a CLIP based preprocessor (#computervision) classifies images into categories: photograph, meme, infographic, comic/cartoons, or text only.

Custom configurations (#development) adjust weights so that, for example, memes/text only images discount AI model influence while forensic tests (ELA, FFT, noise, edge sharpness, text detection) (#science, #math) quantify artifacts. #C2PA data is also considered. All evidence is combined to yield a final decision which will be the “confidence percentage” data that will be included in every post moving forward.

Can you trust AI with your archives? On April 2 at 5pm EDT, UMaine's Digital Curation program hosts a webinar with Sara and Ben Brumfield on blending human crowdsourcing with AI's scale and speed. Join us for a discussion of practical uses and thorny ethics!

The Australian National University in #Canberra is advertising a position for a Data Lead to help deliver #FAIR #metadata and #data from their Australian #Plant #Phenotyping #Network node. They grow (mainly crop) plants under controlled conditions, measuring #environment and imaging the plants, then process the imagery to derive #trait data to support research. Data from all stages needs to be organised for long-term reuse and interoperability.

By popular demand, UMaine's Digital Curation graduate program is once again offering two summer courses on metadata. This is your chance to learn more about how standards for describing files can improve access to libraries, archives, laboratories, and businesses—no prereqs. https://DigitalCuration.UMaine.edu

Not long to go now until #UKSG2025 where we're exhibiting alongside the Directory of Open Access Books and OAPEN

"The Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP's) national internet censor just announced that all AI-generated content will be required to have labels that are explicitly seen or heard by its audience and embedded in metadata. The Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) just released the transcript for the media questions and answers (akin to an FAQ) on its Measures for the Identification of Artificial Intelligence Generated and Synthetic Content [machine translated]. We saw the first signs of this policy move last September when the CAC's draft plans emerged.

This regulation takes effect on September 1, 2025, and will compel all service providers (i.e., AI LLMs) to “add explicit labels to generated and synthesized content.” The directive includes all types of data: text, images, videos, audio, and even virtual scenes. Aside from that, it also orders app stores to verify whether the apps they host follow the regulations.

Users will still be able to ask for unlabeled AI-generated content for “social concerns and industrial needs.” However, the generating app must reiterate this requirement to the user and also log the information to make it easier to trace. The responsibility of adding the AI-generated label and metadata falls on the shoulders of this end-user person or entity."

#DOAJ has now introduced labels as a new feature in our metadata.

The first label is Subscribe to Open (S2O).

You can now easily identify the S2O logo in our journal search results and on individual journal pages.
