For anyone interested to know what we’ve been up to over the summer, our contributions to the upcoming “3rd International Workshop on Comics Analysis, Processing and Understanding” (somehow, short: MANPU) are now available in a handy pre-print format. The workshop will take place as part of the Multimedia Modeling (MMM) conference in Thessaloniki, Greece, from 8-11 January.
Here are the links to Alex and Rita’s “‘How good is good enough?’: Establishing Quality Thresholds for the Automatic Text Analysis of Retro-Digitized Comics” and Jochen and David’s “CNN-Based Classification of Illustrator Style in Graphic Novels: Which Features Contribute Most“.
