Abstract: Early readers’ manuscript annotations in books have been analyzed by bibliographers for evidence about book history and reading practice. Since handwritten annotations are not uniformly distributed across or within books, however, even the compilers of censuses of all copies of a single edition have very seldom produced systematic information about these interventions in the lives of books. This paper analyzes the use of object detection models (ODMs) for detecting handwritten annotations on the pages of printed books. While computer vision developers have dealt widely with imbalanced datasets, none have addressed the effect of negative sample images on model accuracy. We therefore investigate the use of negative evidence—pages with no annotations—in training accurate models for this task. We also consider how different evaluation metrics are appropriate for different modes of bibliographic research. Finally, we create a labeled training dataset of handwritten annotations in early pr inted books and release it for evaluation purposes. (More)
