As a DC-based, minority-owned small business, ETTE initiated Project Minerva as a proof-of-concept with its longstanding client, the Military Women's Memorial (MWM). ETTE applied machine learning (ML) including Object Detection (OD) and Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to a subset of MWM's archival images and letters from the World War II Era. The central aim was to operationalize these technologies.
This proof-of-concept demonstrated how using ML and AI can be used in novel ways to highlight vantage points that haven't previously been prioritized.
ETTE is available to work with other organizations seeking to apply ML and AI technologies to projects, expanding the scope of possibility in research.
