Event timing: Tuesday 20th August, 1pm NZST, 11am AEST, 10:30am ACST, 9:00am AWST World Clock

We are excited to share some recent experiments and early work with AI and Machine learning at Te Puna Mātauranga o Aotearoa, National Library of New Zealand. 

Emerson Vandy, DigitalNZ Systems Manager, and Yizhe Zhan, Data Specialist, Preservation Research Consultancy, will talk about using Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) LLMs on Papers Past data, and on the New Zealand whole of domain web harvest, respectively. This has involved utilising a model in house and training it locally on those datasets, to enhance search and discoverability.

Svetlana Koroteeva, Digital Collecting Specialist, and Richard Robertson, Metadata Workflow Specialist, both from the Collection Services group, will present work with auto classification on a music dataset with the aim to enhance records and discoverability.
