[Esip-marinedata] Marine Data Cluster - 2023-03-09 - Extracting Metadata from CCHDO's PDF Cruise Reports - Dakshh Saraf

*Topic: Extracting Metadata from CCHDO's PDF Cruise ReportsTime: Thursday,
2023-03-09, 11:00 PT / 2:00 ET*

Hello everyone,

Please join this month's Marine Data Cluster call where we will have a
presentation on the CCHDO's current efforts to mine its collection of PDF
cruise reports for machine readable metadata.

This is a multistep project which is being conducted by Dakshh Saraf who is
a senior undergraduate at UCSD studying data science.

The project is divided into 2 parts:

1) Parsing the PDFs into formatted text for ingestion into other processing
data pipelines, including language processing and machine learning APIs.
This was done using Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology, and the
process for this decision will be presented.

2) Mining the formatted text for metadata. This portion of the project is
still developing and several techniques and options are being explored,
including known pattern matching (such as searching for expected keywords)
as well as supervised and semi-supervised machine learning options.

We will have a presentation of the project followed by questions and open
discussion. This project is very much still active, and we invite feedback
and suggestions as well as requests for output.

We hope to see you there!
