সে দিনের কথা


























সে দিনের কথা তোমাকে কখনো হয়নি বলা।
যখন আমার এই বন্ধ কক্ষে নিকষ কালো অন্ধকারে নিজের ছায়াও গিয়েছিল অন্তর্ধানে,
তখন আলোর ঝলকানি হয়ে খুলে দিয়েছিলে আমার জানালার গারদ।
খোলা জানালায় দীর্ঘ শ্বাস নিয়েছি যেন শতাব্দী পর,
জেনেছিলাম দেয়ালের ঐপাড়ে এখনো ডানা মেলে পাখি উড়ে, গান গায়।
সব হারানো বৃদ্ধ ভিখারি বটের ছায়ায় নিশ্চিন্তে ঘুমায়,
ছোট্ট শিশু খিলখিল হেসে বেড়ায় মেঠো পথে।

Data Science Accelerates Repatriation of Indigenous Ancestral Remains

    
 

A team from Queensland University of Technology has developed a deep learning tool to streamline the repatriation of Indigenous ancestral remains. Funded by the Australian Research Council and in partnership with various institutions and the Research, Reconcile, Renew Network, this tool tackles the challenge of sifting through historical records from 1790 to 1970. The study addresses the limitations of museum catalogues and the difficulty of analyzing non-digital historical documents. By employing an Informed Neural Network trained with pre-specified matter specific keywords and a small amount of labelled data, the researchers created a model that efficiently locates pertinent documents. This advancement has significantly contributed to the global initiative of returning Indigenous human remains, furthering the efforts of the Research, Reconcile, Renew Network’s mission initiated in 2014.
