Ensemble automated approaches for producing high‐quality herbarium digital records

This work shows that an ensemble approach has particular value for creating high-quality digital data records, even for complicated label content. While human validation is still needed to ensure the best possible quality, automated approaches can speed digitization of herbarium specimen labels and are likely to be broadly usable for all natural history collection types.

Abstract

This work shows that an ensemble approach has particular value for creating high-quality digital data records, even for complicated label content. While human validation is still needed to ensure the best possible quality, automated approaches can speed digitization of herbarium specimen labels and are likely to be broadly usable for all natural history collection types.
