AI Tools to Model the Hidden Structure of Corpora, March 6, 2026 | 12:30 – 1:30 pm

Location: Online

Artist Harold Cohen was among the first to write art-making code, known as the AARON system. When he died in 2016, he left behind an extensive archive of artworks, code, writing, correspondence, and ephemera. This talk will describe the development of AI methods to organize the archive and support scholars and museum‑goers, including a question‑answering system based on the Claude LLM.
