On June 16, 2025, Dr. Sunkyu Lee will lead a workshop titled IMMARKUS: Image Annotation Platform. This workshop is part of the China-Princeton Digital Humanities Workshop 2025 in Princeton, NJ. The workshop is supported by a David A. Gardner '69 Magic Grant from the Humanities Council, the Department of East Asian Studies, the Program in East Asian Studies, the Center for Digital Humanities, and the Princeton Laboratory for Artificial Intelligence.
About the workshop:The ERC project Regionalizing Infrastructures in Chinese History (RegInfra) recently released IMMARKUS: Image Annotation in X-Markus. Unlike existing image annotation tools, including Mirador, IMMARKUS allows users to design customized data models and to link annotations to external authority services, including TGAZ (China Historical GIS placename Database), CBDB (China Biographical Database Project), and DILA (Buddhist Studies Authority Database Project). In this workshop, participants will learn to create a customized data model, annotate images with AI assistance, add notes and metadata, query and visualize relationships, and export results for historical analysis.
