AI for Cultural Heritage
AI can play a major role in museums and in the larger cultural heritage sector. This talk shows several interactive examples developed at the Rijksmuseum and the University of Amsterdam, including the computer-assisted material analysis of iconic Old Master paintings, automatic ink removal from ancient works on paper, an AI-based cultural heritage image search engine, and a neural-network reconstruction of the missing pieces of Rembrandt’s The Night Watch. We show how artificial intelligence is consistently helping us to access, preserve, and understand our cultural heritage.
