pretty_name: 'The Pages of Early Soviet Performance (PESP) uses machine learning to |
|
generate multiple datasets of early-Soviet illustrated periodicals related to the |
|
performing arts. By using computer vision techniques and training a YOLO (You Only |
|
Look Once) real-time object detection model, we are producing textual and image |
|
data that will facilitate new avenues of research about Soviet culture during the |
|
first decades after the October Revolution (1917-1932). |
|
|
|
|
|
Our starting point is Princeton University Library''s Digital PUL (DPUL) where ten |
|
titles - totaling 526 issues and approximately 26,000 pages - of Soviet performance |
|
journals have been digitized and can be freely viewed online. Journals are a diverse |
|
and complex genre: taken together, this collection contains hundreds of thousands |
|
of articles, poems, editorial commentary, advertisements as well as images, illustrations |
|
and graphic art. Today, researchers can browse the journals and view and download |
|
high-quality page images on DPUL.' |

# Dataset Card for Pages of Early Soviet Performance (PESP) |
|
|
|
This dataset was created as part of the [Early Soviet Performance](https://cdh.princeton.edu/projects/pages-early-soviet-performance/) project at Princeton and is an effort to generate useful research data from a previously scanned [collection of illustrated periodicals](https://dpul.princeton.edu/slavic/catalog?f%5Breadonly_collections_ssim%5D%5B%5D=Russian+Illustrated+Periodicals) held by Princeton's Firestone Library. Our work focused on document segmentation and the prediction of images, text, and mixed text in the document images. The mixedtext category refers to segments where the typeface and text layout are mixed with other visual elements. At a practical level, this category identifies sections that present problems for OCR. It also highlights the experimental use of text, images, and other elements by the editors and has research value. |
|
|
|
For each of the ten journals of interest in Princeton's digital collections (DPUL), we identified the IIIF manifest URI. Using those manifests, we downloaded each of the 24,000 document images. The `IIIF_URIs.json` file in this repository can be used to fetch the images from the Princeton Library IIIF servers. |
