Entity recognition and extraction from contracts play a crucial role in automating contract analysis and extracting valuable information. Named Entity Recognition (NER) techniques are used for identifying and classifying specific entities such as parties, dates, amounts, and clauses within contracts. In this study, we create a high-quality NER data...

The introduction of blockchain technology into Supply Chain management has opened the possibility of faster and more secure transactions of commodities and services. As for every blockchain, Smart Contracts are the tool for controlling the transactions in blockchain-based supply chains. In this paper, we introduce a method for automating the implem...

Identifying and extracting information from contracts is an important task of contract analysis, which is mostly performed manually by lawyers and legal specialists. This manual analysis is a time-consuming, error-prone task. We can overcome this by automating the task of legal entity extraction using the Natural Language Processing (NLP) technique...

In this study, the aim is to design and develop a 3D acquisition, visualization, and interaction framework to preserve cultural heritage and provide new ways to enable museum visitors and cultural audiences to virtually interact with cultural objects. Indeed, cultural assets are nowadays at higher risk and most cultural institutions prohibit visito...

Ever since their big impact in the financial sector, blockchains have never ceased to make disruptions in collaborative applications. Blockchains are considered nowadays the go-to solution for developing critical data exchange platforms. Unfortunately, their interaction with existing and already established platforms is still limited due to many re...

Nowadays, Blockchains are considered the go-to solution when it comes to secure and trust-ensuring platforms for critical data exchange. However, integrating this technology with existing systems is quite a challenging task as there is an unclear path to achieve the integration. Usually, the main motivation behind integrating blockchain with inform...

Production of goods has reached record numbers in the last decades as it became more efficient and effective than ever before due to the automation and digitalization of the production process. This gave customers more choice and the delivery process became faster and more satisfying. However, supply chain management remains a bottleneck due to the...

The distribution and immutability properties of blockchains made it possible to use them in various fields, such as Supply Chain, finance and health. The automation of the creation and execution of transactions in a blockchain in a decentralized and transparent manner is realized through Smart Contracts programming codes. This paper presents the im...

Water, an essential resource for crop production, is becoming increasingly scarce, while cropland continues to expand due to the world’s population growth. Proper irrigation scheduling has been shown to help farmers improve crop yield and quality, resulting in more sustainable water consumption. Soil Moisture (SM), which indicates the amount of wat...

During the past three decades, digital cultural heritage deployment in the communication domain has changed significantly. One of the main interests of heritage curation institutions and research is to implement user-friendly 3D visual interaction system to museums visitors. In this chapter, we firstly reviewed human-computer interaction techniques...

To preserve historical documents, many cultural institutions started digitizing the historical manuscripts and cultural assets metadata. This digitization not only preserves data but also helps in processing these texts to provide easy access to the world of cultural heritage. Named entity recognition (NER) plays an important role in processing the...

The classification of digital images is an essential task during the restoration and preservation of cultural heritage (CH). In computer vision, cultural heritage classification relies on the classification of asset images regarding a certain task such as type, artist, genre, style identification, etc. CH classification is challenging as various CH...

This book considers the challenges related to the effective implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) technologies to the cultural heritage digitization process. Particular focus is placed on improvements to the data acquisition stage, as well as the data enrichment and curation stages, using advanced artificial intel...

Since its revolution in the financial sector, the blockchain technology disrupted the majority of collaboration-based applications including supply chain management. The supply chain is one of the most important sectors benefiting from all the advantages of blockchain. Through this paper, we are mainly focusing on the practical aspects of integrati...

Numerous cultural assets host a great historical and moral value, but due to their degradation, this value is heavily affected as their attractiveness is lost. One of the solutions that most heritage organizations and museums currently choose is to leverage the knowledge of art and history experts in addition to curators to recover and restore the...

PLM systems are heavily distributed collaborative platforms resulting in multiple challenges related to the integrity and reliability of the exchanged information. Such issues are usually difficult to address using traditional software solutions. However, since the introduction of blockchains, such challenges are currently being effectively address...

Museums and cultural institutions, in general, are in a constant challenge of adding more value to their collections. The attractiveness of assets is practically tightly related to their value obeying the offer and demand law. New digital visualization technologies are found to give more excitements, especially to the younger generation as it is pr...

Purpose Digital tools have been used to document cultural heritage with high-quality imaging and metadata. However, some of the historical assets are totally or partially unlabeled and some are physically damaged, which decreases their attractiveness and induces loss of value. This paper introduces a new framework that aims at tackling the cultural...

Through this paper, we aim at investigating the impact of artificial intelligence technologies on cultural heritage promotion and long-term preservation in terms of digitization effectiveness, attractiveness of the assets, and value empowering. Digital tools have been validated to yield sustainable and yet effective preservation for multiple types...

Through this paper, we aim at investigating the impact of using deep learning-based technologies such as super-resolution on Holoscopic 3D (H3D) images. Holoscopic 3D imaging is a technology that aims at providing cost-effective alternatives for 3D content viewing and consumption without requiring a special headgear or posture. The technique is usi...

Cultural heritage takes an important part in defining the identity and the history of a civilization or a nation. Valuing and preserving this heritage is thus a top priority for governments and heritage institutions. Through this paper, we present an image completion (inpainting) approach adapted for the curation and the completion of damaged artwo...

Cultural heritage represents a reliable medium for history and knowledge transfer. Cultural heritage assets are often exhibited in museums and heritage sites all over the world. However, many assets are poorly labeled, which decreases their historical value. If an asset’s history is lost, its historical value is also lost. The classification and an...

The humanity has always learned from the previous experiences and thus for many reasons. The national heritage proves to be a great way to discover and access a nation's history. As a result, these priceless cultural items have a special attention and requires a special care. However, Since the wide adoption of new digital technologies, documenting...
