Human-in-the-loop tabular data extraction methods for historical climate data rescue

Researchers from Ghent University and VUB are digitizing Congo Basin weather records (1907–1960) using human-in-the-loop AI. By combining OCR models, vision-language tools, and expert corrections—with the help of VSC supercomputing—they’ve achieved high accuracy in transcribing complex handwritten climate tables. The study highlights the power of AI-human collaboration in preserving historical data.
