Interpretable Computer Vision: Multiple Instance Learning for Colonial Korean Print
Aron Marcellus van de Pol, Jelena Prokic, Angus Mol
Leiden University
This study demonstrates how Multiple Instance Learning enables both accurate and interpretable analysis of visual features in colonial Korean printshops. While achieving 92% accuracy, our model reveals that reliable identification depends on examining common rather than distinctive elements, making computational analysis meaningful for humanities research.

Speculating on the Future of Digital Humanities Research with Copyrighted Materials
Alex Wermer-Colan2, Sarah Potvin1
1Texas A&M University, United States of America; 2Temple University, United States of America
The steep barriers that Digital Humanists face when assembling datasets are made insurmountable by perceived copyright restrictions. This paper will introduce the Data Speculations project, which combines a speculative approach with fair use interpretation to imagine cultural heritage workers and researchers stewarding - rather than licensing - corpora of copyrighted cultural data.
