Taylor Arnold, professor of data science and statistics, and Lauren Tilton, professor of digital humanities and director of UR’s Center for Liberal Arts and AI, received a grant to support their research to develop AI models that analyze film and television. The funding is part of a larger award from Schmidt Sciences and includes collaboration with colleagues at UC Berkeley and Bowdoin College.
Data Visualization Grant-Funding
Statistics professor Taylor Arnold and digital humanities professor Lauren Tilton recently received grant funding for two data science projects. They received a $485,000 grant from the Mellon Foundation for their Distant Viewing Toolkit project, an open-source technology for the computational analysis of visual culture. Arnold and Tilton have also received a nearly $325K grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities to support a project to build open-source software for collecting and analyzing digital images.
