Given a large collection of ETDs, we want to run different kinds of learning algorithms to categorize them into logical groups, and by the end, be able to suggest to an end-user the documents which are strongly related to the one they are looking for. The overall goal for the project is to have a service that can upload, search, and retrieve ETDs with their derived digital objects, in a human-readable format. Specifically, our team is tasked with analyzing documents using object detection and topic models, with the final deliverable being the Experimenter web page for the derived objects and topics. The object detection team worked with Faster R-CNN and YOLOv7 models, and implemented post-processing rules for saving objects in a structured format. As the final deliverable for object detection, inference on 5k ETDs has been completed, and the refined objects have been saved to the Repository. The topic modeling team worked with clustering ETDs to 10, 25, 50, and 100 topics with different models (LDA, NeuralLDA, CTM, ProdLDA). As the final deliverable for topic modeling, we store the related topics and related documents for 5k ETDs in the Team 1 database, so that Team 2 could provide the related topic and documents on the documents page. By the end of the semester the team was able to deliver the Experimenter web page for the derived objects and topics, and the related objects and topics for 5k ETDs stored in the Team 1 database.en-USAttribution-NonCommercial 4.0 InternationalETDElectronic Theses and DissertationsDeep LearningObject DetectionTopic ModelingPresentation
